Was the stadium big enough to suit the visitors fans?
Upon further review, watching the game replay, ineligible receiver call that helped stop Big Red’s final drive seems to have been imaginary. You can clearly see all five interior linemen behind the line, and formation was good. The ejection was questionable also.
You cant have one receiver covering another in formation. It had nothing to do with interior lineman. You plain lostI’ve watched a 100 big red games on tv. The announcers are very professional. But even they last night had a hard time figuring out who was the illegal man down field.
It’s plain as day on tape.
The ejection for a 50/50 late hit was egged on by the Aurora coach who seemed to spend just as much time on the field as his players crying to the refs.
It was a big play. But can’t say for sure if it mattered, just hate to see ref’s take the game out of the players hands. Who knows maybe they was cold and wanted the game to end but was a bogus blown call. Idk refs are another human factor in the game and Steubenville isn’t loved by many outside of Steubenville.
Targeting was not a correct call by the book, no head to head aim or contact
Any time someone is not off the los or not the end man on los yes they are not an illeble reciever but technically the consider a linemen no matter of jersey #1. Just watched it. #20 comes in motion straight down the line of scrimmage covering #22 who then runs down field. He was covered. Good call.
2. Steubenville made 1 offensive play in the 2nd half when great rb broke a tackle at line of scrimmage and went 67 yds for a touchdown. Rest of half they did nothing. If Refs chose not to make the obvious illegal man downfield call and gave Steubenville a gift, what make you think they could have gone 40 more yards in 2 minutes with no timeouts? Hadn't done anything all half except one play.
GOOD GOD that kid is special, IF he stays committed to OU, they stole a GREAT football playerAurora has been a good pass/run mix. They have a 6ft 5in 225 lb middle LB with excellent range. He plays the run sideline to sideline well
That penalty is the OPI, I think they butchered it and for the game deciding situation and interior receiver was off as it seemed (no replay to watch), should've been counted as offAny time someone is not off the los or not the end man on los yes they are not an illeble reciever but technically the consider a linemen no matter of jersey #

Don’t believe he was ejected for targeting. It was his 2nd personal foul, unsportsmanlike. Can’t do that.Targeting was not a correct call by the book, no head to head aim or contact
Definitely a personal foul
If they wanted to eject him they should have made a different call
Also aurora coach on field yellinf at red players could have been called
Officials did not control a few situations in the game in the best way?
I live in aurora so have no red bias her but many years of football
Auorora bettet off game plan, poor red pass defense were the main reasons greenmen won!
Good callAurora will find a way to win. Greenmen by 7 in a very physical game.
That was not the signal by the officialDon’t believe he was ejected for targeting. It was his 2nd personal foul, unsportsmanlike. Can’t do that.
Either way. Play is negated and 4th down replayedSince he stared as an off the line reciver correct call should have beeb illegal motion then
So.....did the inside receiver (#22?) on this side go out for a pass?Split second before ball was snappedView attachment 4610
No. You’re wrong again. Learn the rules of football if you are going to complain about officiating.Since he stared as an off the line reciver correct call should have beeb illegal motion then
That's not how it works. From what I am reading, there doesn't appear to be anything "illegal" about the motion the receiver was in. He wasn't moving at the time of the snap. There weren't two players moving at the same time. Its not illegal motion. Its not illegal formation either because there was nothing illegal about one receiver covering up the other. BUT, once he was on the line and covered the second receiver (if that is indeed what happened) then that receiver becomes, in essence, a lineman. And if he goes downfield, then the proper call is "illegal man downfield". I can understand why the fans in the stands were confused because all of the lineman were behind the line of scrimmage. But it appears, unless I am missing something, that the ref made the correct call.Since he stared as an off the line reciver correct call should have beeb illegal motion then
What you just described was the call the refs made. They both went down field on yhe snap. One was coveredThat's not how it works.

He may have started off, and the ref called it correctly. He didn’t indicate two were off the ball. The receiver wound up “on” the line. Ref made a good call. It’s never assumed the inside guy is off. The photo at the snap shows 8 on the line.Actually if 20 was in motion down the line, then the play should have been killed for illegal motion. It was a funky lineup and hard to determine who was on the LOS.
