#89 TE EWU Stitt didn't want him...

Jace Gilder from Corvallis. Wasn't offered by either the Griz or the cats

Unless he had Makena Simis-like skills, Stitt would have passed.

So I always thought there was a rule that the holder couldn’t throw forward from his knees. Wouldn’t he be down? Guess not

I always thought that was the one exception to the rule.

Announcers commented specifically on this and the answer is "no". Remember, they have some rule guy of over 30 years with them today! Lol

Yeah must be.
Such an awesome call. I love plays like that. Takes balls and brains

So what happens in the 2nd half when EWU defense gets tired?

SOLID point, and one I just mentioned to my wife. Seems to me that is the way NDSU wins a lot of ball games. That big offensive line and powerful run game just keep holding on to the ball, pounding the defense, and eventually tire them out in the 4th. Just like the Griz used to!!

Throwing late into double coverage. EWU pick on next play.

It is. A very specific and detailed exception. According to an "Ask the Official" web page, in high school and "youth" football, the holder must raise his knee off the ground before he advances the ball in any way. In college, they can pass or pitch with their knee still on the ground. (Question was sent in after Notre Dame did it in a game.)

I was hoping the EWU QB would save this game for next season against Montana.

What a game. Time to answer

 

[bgbigdog]

Defenses headed out early to Jerry World to get in on the early tailgating.

 

[grizpsych]

Hmm. A shoot out with EWU. That always ends well.

Ya that call was sweet.

Omg.. refs want eagles to win. Lol

Don't know about that. But you sure don't see that called ... hardly ever.

 

[PlayerRep]

Those refs are horrible. Total mystery call against NDSU receiver for offensive interference. No contact at all. Ref who throws flag is a mile away, according the announcers.

I understand they come from a CAA/Patriot/Ivy pool.

When he played in high school Corvallis had a gigantic backfield. Jace at QB and Jesse Simms at running back. Stitt did get Simms

Bizon grinding out a 15+ play, 8 minute 4th quarter drive... 5 for 5 on 3rd down
