It took me a bit, but I see it now. I can kind of see how our guy lined up off sides - The two clowns on the right hand side of the Oline are not even close to being on the line of scrimmage.

True Moz, but I don't know call me crazy, I always thought you lined up off of the BALL!

On the other hand, who am I to talk. Remember, in my youth during a basketball game, I covered my own man coming down court. He looked at me, and said, "what the hell are you doing!?" Yeah, we all do stupid things...
 
LOL.

So what's the call on that play? Is the other team guilty of an illegal formation (too many fellers in the backfield)? And would that take precedence over the offsides?

I could be completely wrong about all I've said...
 
I do always complain about our lack of man coverage...This is about as man as you can get!!! lol
 
Its Rutgers v. Kansas. The ref would facepalm before he threw a flag on either side. There'd be offsetting fouls for illegal formation and neutral zone violations
BAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

(I must have really messed up last week for them to ship me to Piscataway and ref this dumpster fire)

SO FUNNY
 
Juuuuuust a bit offsides...

Personally, I think we got hosed on that call.
 
Moz is right - there should've been offsetting penalties as the RG and RT were not on the line either, and Kansas should've been called for too many men in the backfield.
 
The right guard and tackle are not lined up in the backfield. I have seen tackles much further back and a penalty not called. As long as the guard and tackles head is even with waist or back of the center they are ok.
 
Neither of their receivers on that side are on the line of scrimmage either. We can see just 10 Kansas players, and three of them are on the line of scrimmage - so, they had, at maximum, 4 guys on the line of scrimmage... which is 3 too few. Even if you count the right side of the OLine as being on the line of scrimmage... they'd still be a player short.

When this happened, I thought... god, what a boneheaded play. Now that I look at it more closely, I can see why Cioffi got confused - all the guys on offense closest to him were playing the same line of scrimmage he was.

That wasn't the issue. Kansas has 5 men in the backfield - QB, RB, FB, and 2 WR's.
 
5 Yds it's more like 15 yds of either player. I was screaming that not one person covered the person on the left sideline not seeing the other receiver equally as open. That's just terrible sorry that's not coaching that's players that just don't have a clue out there. A coach puts you in position to make or not make a play but when you flat out don't cover receivers that has to fall on the players.
 
That was bad last week. Amazing how wide open those guys were. Armstrong put plenty of air under his throw as well. We still could not make up the ground necessary.
 
Point to a defensive back within 5 yards of either Nebraska reciever running free to the endzone.
Thanks. I couldn't figure out if the top yellow circle obscured an RU defender or not. If not, I only count 10 red uniforms on the field.

Yeah, but the tight end running the short crossing route in triple coverage isn't catching the ball!

No prob, by the way I think that was the ref that was obscured, maybe he could've done us a solid and interfered with that pass in some way, lol

11 are on the field but 10 on the field would be a better excuse for no one covering the WRs. 4 DLs around mid field. 3 players covering the TE. 2 DBs near the 30 and 2 DBs deep in the middle of the field.

I wouldn't bet on that the receiver caught TD between 4 defenders that all just stood there and watched at the goal line. I still cannot figure that one out. They were all in position and they all failed to do anything at all

The dude ran into the square of players turned around and caught the ball without so much as a bump I think the whole secondary is lost beyond lost
