New Rule Needed for CFB

[scUM Hater]

The play that ended the first half between Duke and Cincinnati needs to be looked at. For those not watching, Duke kicker makes 53 yard field goal but it is disallowed due to the fact that Cincinnati ran an extra guy out there (refs threw a flag). He then missed the 48 yarder. The kicking team should be allowed to decline that type of penalty. Cinci had no timeouts, a way to "ice" the kicker. Any thoughts?

100% Agree

I have no idea why it isn't a continuation penalty like almost every other pre-snap defensive penalty. 12 men on the field, offsides, etc. That was some BS.

Truly unbelievable.

 

[JadeBrecks]

Any defensive penalty should be a continuation penalty other than unabated to the QB and encroachment.

Agree that continuation is the problem here. To not be able to decline that penalty is ridiculous. It's not like anyone's in danger, which would warrant blowing it dead right away.

Still this has been a pretty good game.

I agree. Awful rule.
