Fake slide results in TD for Pitt QB

Post by Irse »

NCAA shouldn't allow this. It should be a 15 penalty just like it is for hitting a QB when he's sliding. If I was on the officiating crew for the next Pitt game, I wouldn't throw a flag if someone hit him while he was sliding.

I think it should be an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. It's a deceptive move that puts the defenders in a no win situation.

Quick decision by the NCAA. Refs are to blow the play dead at that point.

An unwritten rule became a written rule real fast. This is like in baseball when there's a pop fly and a runner behind on base yells "I got it" to distract the fielder.
