    You’re not sure why he keeps bringing up ND’s loss to Northern Illinois? I am.

    He was a character, that’s for sure. I refereed the 2006 semistate game vs. South Newton. In the middle of the game there was a long pass catch and run down the Sheridan sideline. I saw Coach Bud sprinting down the sidelines, in step with the ball carrier. He tripped, went into a perfect forward roll back up to his feet, and continued on as if nothing had happened. He was 66 yrs. old at the time!

    You’re correct, the down would not count so long as the facemask penalty is accepted.

    Vrabel got fired because the organization could not produce an elite QB. He’s got one here. That said, I could get behind Joe Brady. My concern with him is the absence of head coaching experience. At any level.

    I am intrigued by the reports that the McCaskeys will not consider an “alpha” personality for a coach, having gone that way with Ditka, and regretting it. If true, that would rule out someone like Vrabel or Belichik. Could that actually be true? I mean, look at the results they got with Ditka, and compare with the results they’ve gotten from the Jauron - Trestman - Nagy - Eberflus line of “beta” coaches.

    Nothing in the rules about IVs. However, it is illegal for players to use supplemental oxygen during the game. Believe it or not.

    Ryan Day = Dead Man Walking

    Unless the Buckeyes make a deep run (assuming they get in the playoffs with 2 losses), I’d say Ryan Day is a dead man walking.

    Sorry for the hiatus. I’m actually supposed to be working this game. Heading down to the officials’ locker room for the postgame debrief. But my last thought on this game is that watching HH’s offensive line play is a real pleasure.

    Heritage Hills replies with a lightning fast drive, including a 41 yd. pass completion. 21-7 HH with 8:13 remaining in the half.
  12. Bobref
    Luers answers with a long, ball control drive. 14-7 HH with 8:43 in the half.
  13. Bobref
    The Patriots with a nice drive, dominating the line of scrimmage now. 8 plays, 81 yds. Now 14-0 HH 2:08 of the 1st.
  14. Bobref
    Goldsberry with a 73 yd. TD run. HH 7 Luers 0 8:46 of the 1st.

    Guilty. No excuse for that mistake. Every single week in my Observation Report, I tell the officials this isn’t basketball and they should not have the whistle in their mouths while the ball is alive. And it generally falls on deaf ears. This was a good example of why that mechanic is right in the Manual.

    Providence sneaks another one in with 2 seconds left in the half. 21-6 Providence. Judson has no answer for the Providence QB.
  17. Bobref
    The entire ball has to be out of the end zone or it is a safety. Not just the foremost point of the ball. Providence with a nice long drive to take a 14-6 lead with 11:30 left in the half.
  18. Bobref
    My view of the play was the QB’s forward progress was stopped with the entire ball in the field of play, and then he was pushed back into the end zone.
  19. Bobref
    Judson strikes first, after pinning Providence deep in their own territory. Fumble, recovered in the end zone. 2 pt. try fails. Bluejays 6 Pioneers 0 8:21 of the 1st.

    Location is not a factor in the selection/advancement process. The six crews working this weekend are from all over the state.

    “And now, with the score the same, we move to further action in the 3rd quarter.” I can hear his voice plain as day.

    Three more big games on tap today! IMO, the people in the stripes had a pretty good day yesterday. I saw only one (what I would consider) major mistake: a mis-enforced penalty in the 4A game, that had no effect on the outcome at all. Hope I’m not jinxing the 3 great crews we have working today. But I know them, and have great confidence in them all.

    It’s Beat USC Day. My favorite memory of this game was my senior year at ND in 1973, Eric Penick’s 85 yd. run early in the 2nd half broke open a close game and led the undefeated Irish to their date with destiny in the Sugar Bowl against Alabama 2 months later. Lindsey Nelson on the call.

    I believe it was illegal substitution, not illegal participation. For the offense, when a sub comes in, the replaced player must start to leave the field within 3 seconds, if he doesn’t, it’s illegal substitution, a 5 yd., dead ball penalty. Illegal participation is a 15 yd. live ball foul.

    Westfield outsmarts itself by trying a goofy rugby punt on 4th down. Blocked, scoop, and score. 2 pt. try no good. 22-10 8:44 of the 4th.
