Not great for a coach to say he didn't know something was still a penalty.

I get why Citadel fans may be annoyed at the call, but it wasn't even a judgement call. It's literally a rule and Citadel clearly violated. That the players didn't know the rule isn't the official's fault.

Cry me a river. Deep thoughts from the pride of Poughkeepsie, New York.I would have said your team getting stuffed on 4th downs, kicking game adventures and turnovers might have had something to do with the loss. Stay classy!!

"Yes, coach my next question, actually I have two...

"So after you take advantage of the first of two Furman first quarter fumbles to take a 7-0 lead, you get stopped on three straight possessions on fourth down plays and punt twice, during which time Furman goes up 17-7. What went wrong?

"Also coach, do you guys actually teach your A-backs to tackle defenders as a way to block them, banking on the fact that officials won’t flag you every time you do it, which is basically every play?”

Noticed Shiflett hardly played. Was he injured? Any theories?

I think it was just matchups… but thats' a guess - he did have two balls batted away at the last minute.

Lot of Citadel fans mad online with this. They say this is a soft call. You hear Thompson talk about how soft football has become.



This has nothing to do with softness. This is literally a penalty. It's not even a judgement call. Is the guy out of bounds? Yes. Are you out of bounds? Yes. Did you initiate a block against him? Yes. It's a penalty.

We didn't throw the ball well, so he had a quiet night.

Still really active. For instance, check out who gets the downfield block to spring Roberto.

After Saturday's game, perhaps Mr. Shiflett should get another look at QB.
