Ole Miss illegal screens...

Will Ole Miss get away with blocking downfield while the pass is in the air? or have the SEC officials been made aware they do this?

Remember, in college it's 3 yards. NFL it's only one. It's pretty rare to get a OL 5 yards downfield on those plays.

They should change the rule in college though.

They were doing it all night against Bama and was never called for it till the 4Q so I can assume it will be a problem for us too.

I believe he's talking about the WR's

blocking while the ball is in the air.

 

[Ace-Leroy]

That Ole Miss formation where they put 2 WRs stacked (one directly behind the other) is the play that they CONSTANTLY have the first WR start blocking the CB about 5 to 8 yards past the line of scrimmage, the 2nd WR runs 1 yard sometimes 2 yards PAST THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE and THEN catches the ball.

Illegal, illegal, illegal!! You are allowed to go down field and block if the pass is thrown BEHIND the line of scrimmage. But Ole Miss runs this play and throws the ball OVER / BEYOND the line of scrimmage. This play worked for a TD against Arkansas and kept Ole Miss in the game. This play worked for a couple of 1st downs against Bama and helped Ole Miss win that game.

an example , the td um scored in regulation to go ahead in the arkansas game , treadwell was blocking a defender beyond the line of scrimage while the pass was in the air and caught beyond the line of scrimage. is that legal?

Definitely they should. Ref on the line should be able to move 1 yard after snap to see if any olinemen are beyond him

We're paying our coaches millions of dollars a year to figure out how to stop it

They need to call Gary Patterson at TCU, Jim McIlvane at Florida, or Fuentes at Memphis State to show us how to stop it.

Florida has great athletes, but TCU and Memphis State aren't near as talented as om, yet they completely shut them down.
