Seems like that happened to us against georgia last year

I can't see Kliempson winning it all, or even the first round

No, but if they run up against a certain red team, I know who I'll be rooting for.

Not at all impressed with Clemson, but I think the call was correct. If you watch the replay, a UNC player looped all the way back behind the 30 as he moved from the right to the left. Without taking the time to look it up, I'm almost positive that's a penalty.

You're kidding right?  running backwards is offsides?   

I didn't see the play live and only caught a quick replay or two, but it was universal among all the bammers at church that uNC got screwed.

No

Additionally, kicking-team players are allowed only a five-yard running start before the ball is put into play. Previously, players were allowed to take as long of a running start as they wanted.

You of all people should know better than to rely on Alabama fans for quality football knowledge.

Where is that quote from?  And if that rule is violated (if it's even a rule  ), that's "offsides"????

Whatever the case, it never entered the ACC's own official version of the story.  They are claiming a UNC player "broke the plane", which is patent nonsense.  So yeah, UNC got screwed.


Here’s the statement the ACC trotted from some poor spokesperson.
“Offsides is not a reviewable play. Dennis Hennigan [ACC director of officiating] said that mechanically the officials were in the correct position. The rule as it relates to to an onside kick that the 35-yard line is treated as a plane and if any part of a player breaks that plane before the ball is kicked it’s offsides. The officials saw a member of the kicking team break the plane before the ball was kicked.”

Okay, it's a foul, but that's not what was called or defended by the ACC front office as the call.
