Game notes: Ark. vs Bama

[Catch Prothro]

I noticed a couple of things I left off:
LB's:  On the sack by Evans, did you notice the closing speed he had to get to the QB?  Also, Dillon Lee blew up Alex Collins on a pass rush.

Rec:  The touchdown on the short pass to #16 is a play everyone is beginning to run.  The two outside recs were blocking not even making it look like a pass route. 

I think it is also illegal unless #16 catches the ball behind the LOS.  What about on the LOS?  Does he have the same benefit that the QB has in that as long as he has a shoe string on the LOS he is OK?

Unless the rules have changed, the ball must be caught behind the  LOS for players to be blocking the defenders.  I can't find if this includes what is considered the neutral zone,  This is done more and more on out routes by the inside rec where the outside rec is blocking the corner.

This play looked similar to the one where Notre Dame's game winning TD was called back v. Florida State last year for offensive pass interference.

Exactly.  After I saw the replay, I thought it might be called back.  But no flags.  Whew!  Looked like the refs missed one (on our behalf).

I just watched the replay, and noticed something else that didn't get much attention.

The QB fumble by Arky during the 3rd Q (right before they tried to draw us offsides on the 4th down), was handled well by the SEC refs.

If you watch, the sidelines ref made the right call.  He marked that the QB fumbled before reaching the first down, then they huddled, reviewed it, and put the ball back where he fumbled.  Handled well.

BB's decision to fake the 4th down run, NOT SO MUCH.

Noticed something else in the replay: an Alabama student's poster that read, "I love the Asian cheerleaders".

WTH??

Except that the ref that dropped the beanbag where the fumble occurred got it right to begin with and then another ref picked up the beanbag and moved it to where the QB went down.  I would be like "Dude, don't mess with my beanbag!"
