Didn't see this posted anywhere yet, but wouldn't the holder be down when he picked up the ball? |

If I was the official, I think I would've blown the whistle by assuming that he wasn't trying to advance the ball. But it would've been close.
The announcers kept talking about the kid's awareness, but he was just standing there until he finally saw the coach telling him to run.

It looked like his knee was up when he grabbed the ball.

They found a way to lose that game. Reminds me of a familiar NFL team.

The announcer brought up the Iowa/Northern Iowa game. I guess the same rule applies, but when that happened I was blown away. I just know the conventional wisdom is that you stay away from a blocked kick like it's covered in swine flu. Looks like coaches are going to have to adjust.

Ah a friend of mine who is a HS coach pointed this out.
The holder is exempt from the knee down rule. Otherwise, he'd be down as soon as he catches it with his knee already on the ground. For that rule to apply to him, he'd have to take his knee off the ground and then put it back down again. Clearly he just took his knee off the ground and then started running a few seconds later. So it seems like this one is truly if the ref blew his whistle or not. |

Damn.
This is pretty cool, but this is a bit of a reminder that football is turning into a circus. The rules are almost too complex when coaches and kids can be playing the game for their whole lives and still have stuff like this happen. Every offseason they add change or modify rules and now we're too the point that teams are winning just because of how unintuitive a lot of the situations are, it's like the tax code. |
