How is the crowd at Ron Zook Field? is it SRO or has the apathy continued with the? I don;t have energy to turn the TV on, LOL
Pretty full - 90% or so. Thin in the corners but full on the sides.

Horrible call. If that wasn’t roughing, what is?

McKenzie Milton comes in and drives them right down the field. Amazing return after his horrific injury.

Why wasn’t that intentional grounding? He wasn’t out of the pocket and he just heaved it out of bounds under immense & imminent pressure? The refs suck in this game.

It was clearly a fumble. Leak in 2006 was
10x a forward pass. At the end of the day, if there’s encouraging news it’s that Norvell effectively iced his own kicker. The challenge is fine. But letting him actually go through with it, knowing he’d either have to do that distance again or another kick altogether, is seriously amateur hour.

I think he was probably in the tackle box.
Thrilled for Milton. F$U is tougher than I expected. Not sure why ND kept going to 3 DL when 4 were crushing the Nole offense.

Yeah I guess there’s an argument there as well. Just not sure you can overturn a call while turning it into a penalty. May be wrong. In any event, don’t let the kid kick.

Also, let’s not get nuts here. He helped finish one TD drive that was started by Travis, who was playing well, and then drove for a FG. That’s it. Not saying he isn’t a good player, but the other kid had ND on their heels and Milton just didn’t blow it.

I was referring to a different play, where he had to scramble for the bad snap and chuck the ball out of bounds.

You know, I didn’t even think about that. Other than the love affair with him that was in progress, how exactly was that not IG?
Great point. That may have changed everything, Norvell could’ve just iced his own kicker in regulation, and I may be asleep right now.

Why not? The bastards do it with "targeting" all the damn time.

I don't disagree. I just don't think they can review a play and find or eliminate a penalty, other than the targeting. That's just the format.

After the first 5 minutes I thought ND would blow them out. Travis did play really well despite the porous OL and 3 INTs.
Milton played really well too. That’s amazing given his horrific injury. He was a terrific player at UCF and looked like his former self. He’s a great kid, super talented and has a sharp football mind. But he’s undersized, a Doug Flutie type.
It will be interesting to see what they do next.
