Game story from Annapolis paper

Post by PonyPride »

From the Annapolis Capital Gazette:

SMU beats Navy in overtime with two-point conversion pass
Navy loses to SMU in OT, 31-30

DALLAS, Texas ΓÇô Now we know why Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo was so upset about some of the mental and physical mistakes he saw during last SaturdayΓÇÖs rout of Lehigh. Niumatalolo understood the Midshipmen could not afford to be so sloppy against an American Athletic Conference opponent and that assessment was absolutely correct.

Navy had two of its three turnovers converted into touchdowns and committed a penalty that wiped out a touchdown of its own. The Midshipmen also gave up a kickoff return for score and all those issues came back to haunt them on Saturday.

Quarterback Ben Hicks came off the bench to throw a touchdown pass and two-point conversion as SMU stunned Navy, 31-30, in overtime at Gerald J. Ford Stadium.

This writer had a different picture of what the 2 point play looks like..different from the officials, the game commentators and myself.



However, what the replay review could not overturn was the apparent fact SMU only had six players on the line of scrimmage. A freeze frame of the formation right before the snap shows a slot receiver lined up one yard back, leaving just six players along the line of scrimmage instead of the required seven. Replay cannot be used to spot that penalty, which must be called by the officials on the field.

If you look at the freeze frame, there were 3 players (including the slot receiver) with one foot on the yard line, and their other foot the same distance in front. If you are saying the slot receiver was in the backfield, then all 3 linemen were in the backfield.

Me thinks you are mistaken.

At a minimum we had 6.5 players on the line of scrimmage which rounds up to 7.

Legal play.

There were seven on the line. 5 lined up on the ball and the two split out to the right, including the tackle that motioned, were all on the line of scrimmage.

My apologies. I thought you were agreeing with the article, but as you pointed out, you were simply stating what was said in the article.
