Boys vs. Skins...

I noticed where 5 of the 6 skill players on the Boys offense were from DI-AA schools, while 7 of the 11 starters on the skins defense were from the SEC.

Just a little tidbit of useless information

Oh well. I like the Skins. But Romo is my fantasy QB

The ball is punted. If the kicking team touches the ball, the ball is down where it was first touched. Unless after the ball is touched it goes into the endzone or touches somebody that is in the endzone. That makes no sense. If the ball is down where it is first touched, WTF does it matter what happens after the ball is first touched?

That's like saying the ball carrier is down when he knee touches unless he fumbles after his knee touches the ground and then its a fumble. That would make no sense. And neither does the touchback rule.

On a punt, the ball is down not when the punting team touches the ball, but when the punting team stops the progress of the ball. So in the case of the punting team touching the ball, but not stopping it from going into the end zone, the ball is properly placed at the 20 because that's a touchback. </p>

I guarantee you if the punting team touches the ball at the 20, but doesn't stop its progress until the 10, the ball gets spotted at the 20. That's why the touchback rule doesn't make sense to me.
