      @arinerm1331 2 года назад

      Bear Bryant caused a rule change in college football by using tear-away jerseys with an extra one carried in the player's pants. If his jersey gets destroyed by an attempted tackle during the play, he can pull out the extra and put it on before the next snap and never miss a play. The rules now require the player to be out for a play or his team call timeout if a jersey gets destroyed.

      Yeah, and taking advantage of customs for player safety is pretty sleazy. Hope he got blasted the next time he fielded a punt, whether he fair catches or not.

      As a Razorback fan, I thought it was a BS call, and the no-whistle tells me they were likely informed of it ahead of time. Either way, it worked, and it didn't make a difference in the game, because we got ROLLED that day.

      On top of that, whether he waved his hands or not the initial pause could easily be considered giving himself up. That happens dozens of times a year both in the NFL and the ncaa. I can assure you that had the defender blown him up they would have called a personal foul and said that the return man gave himself up

    I dont understand that train formation that was shown a few times cuz they just go right back to a normal formation so whats the point?

      Does not give defense time to call their play and might lead into a confusion and someone gets wide open.
