Thread: Bama Fans we deserved that.

Therefore two fouls occurred on that play, oh wait I forgot to post the rule, I know Auburn folks probably do not know what it is, so here you gewbs go.

Eligible receiver

This article is about the American football term. For the National Security Agency's hacking exercise, see Eligible Receiver 97.
In American football and Canadian football, not all players on offense are entitled to receive a forward pass. Only an eligible pass receiver may legally catch a forward pass, and only an eligible receiver may advance beyond the neutral zone if a forward pass which crosses the neutral zone is thrown. If the pass is received by a non-eligible receiver, the penalty for the foul "illegal touching" is assessed (the play is treated as an incomplete pass, unless the ball is downed behind the line of scrimmage — in either case a down is lost). If an ineligible receiver is beyond the neutral zone when a forward pass which crosses the neutral zone is thrown, a foul of "ineligible receiver downfield" (penalty—a loss of yardage, but not loss of down) is called. Each league has slightly different rules regarding who is and is not considered an eligible receiver.

College football

The NCAA rulebook defines eligible receivers for college football in Rule 7, Section 3, Article 3.^[1] The determining factors are the player's position on the field at the snap and their jersey number. Specifically, any players on offense wearing numbers between 50 and 79 are always ineligible. All defensive players are eligible receivers and offensive players who are not wearing an ineligible number are eligible receivers if they meet one of the following three criteria:

• Player is at either end of the group of players on the line of scrimmage (usually the split end and tight end)
• Player is lined up at least one yard behind the line of scrimmage (running backs, fullbacks, etc.)
• Player is positioned to receive a hand-to-hand snap from the center (almost always the quarterback)

Players may only wear eligible numbers at an ineligible position when it is obvious that a punt or field goal is to be attempted.
A receiver loses his eligibility by leaving the field of play unless he was forced out by a defensive player and immediately attempts to get back inbounds (Rule 7-3-4). All players on the field become eligible as soon as the ball is touched by a defensive player or an official during play (Rule 7-3-5).

Let me go ahead and add one more part to that rule, it is 3 yards past the line to clear up any misunderstanding. The player was more than 3 yards.

Got a let it go gewbers, got a let it go, man it's tearin ya'll up. I can re-watch and see just as many missed calls on bammer side, how bout block in the back on punt return ??

I can promise you that if anyone has the game recorded and they wanna sit down and watch it I can point out enough plays to prove Auburn would not have near the yards they had or near the points they had if it had been called correctly. I be willing to bet getting my picture made in one of those barn shirts over it. I hate to cry fowl, but when it is that obvious it is hard to ignore.

One particular play was Auburn having ineligible receivers down field on the touchdown pass. Also look at the takedown on the line of scrimmage where the defender would have gotten the QB in the backfield, not only was he held he was taken to the ground.

YES, it was easy to rush for almost 300 yards.

Let Joe clear up the MAIN rule. When Auburn scores more points than bammer, bammer loses

you mean the block in the back on the missed field goal, yeah there was more than one that yall committed there, but I was not even referring to those missed calls, there were so many other ones I about lost count. I remember Bama had a block in the back but it was not on a punt return and it had no effect on points. Some Bama fans tried to tell ol seeker they were not worried before this game. I told them all week I was worried. I know that nobody gets a fair deal on the plains. Tennessee fan said it best that even when those inferior out of conference teams come to play at the barn they even get dealt a raw hand. All I gotta say is War Eagle now go bring another title back to this great state.

lol at this.......I've been watching Iron Bowls since 1986 and almost every time Auburn would beat Bama, the bammers put the blame on the refs, not calling penalties and what not. Let me ask this, since Bama has I think 7 or 8 game win advantage over Auburn in the series, how many of those did the refs blow calls in BAMA'S favor?

Personally I think Bama blew about five cHanes to score , because of offensive play calling.
