Offenses ball at the 1. Pretty much what happens everywhere else on the field when the ball is fumbled out of bounds. The ball is given to the possessing team at the spot of the fumble.

Yes but the end zone is actually different. It's the same with kickoffs. Basically there is no actual penalty for being wildly careless with the ball and a potential albeit unlikely avenue for offensive fugery. 

I think if you change it, make it the same rule as a punt/kickoff going out of the end zone or into the end zone. Same result.

That way you penalize the offense but not enough to change possession.

I don't really like giving the the offense the ball at the 1. Either the defense did their job, and caused a turnover, or the offensive player was an idiot and dropped the ball while going into the end zone.

Another 1 that gets complaints is the pass interference penalty being a spot penalty in the NFL, instead of 15 yards. Defenses would be incentivized to commit fouls on every pass over 15 yards.

That said, it is annoying that a real strategy is to go fishing for PI calls.

My point is that there shouldn't be any penalty. Everywhere else on the field a fumble out of bounds is no big deal. Same thing should apply in the endzone. Nowhere else kn the field can the ball change possession on a fumble without being recovered inbounds by the defense.

Yes but the rules are always different in the end zone. PI, sacks, penalties, etc. 

That's why I don't bristle at it. The end zone almost always has a different set of rules for just about everything.

My main issue is the change if possession. If you want to give it back to the offense at the 20 I still think that sucks but it's a helluva lit better than a turnover.

Oh hey, the Canes had a prime let down opportunity after a very good season with everyone talking about the inevitable injustice that's going to happen when they get left out of the Playoffs and what do you know, they only bloody went on the road and annihilated Pitt. 

Nobody really cares to be honest. I'm fine with them making the playoffs. Let them in and let them get skull drug by a legit playoff team and there, all is well. There's always gonna be a team or two squawking about how they should've been in no matter what. You still get it in the basketball tourney of 64. The teams on the bubble don't really have a chance anyway do whatever. I think the 12 team field is about perfect IMO. All of the legit contenders are sure to get in. No, Texas is not a legit contender.

In other college football news:

 

Lanoris Sellers and Arch Manning........GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND KEEP PREPARING.

Not ready for prime time yet.

Not even debatable IMO. Tons of talent but I'm honestly not sure either are NFL QBs. Both might should just cash as many NIL checks as they can.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
