I have seen a QB wait just a bit to spike the ball and was called for intentional grounding in a college game.

There is judgment involved in that. He has to clearly have control while bringing it back to his body. It's not black and white. Many people see it how they want to see it. The official just has make his best judgment. I'm not sure how much replay can get into that part of it. I do know they can get involved with whether or not his hand started forward with control of the ball.

You think Montana will get any top 25 votes this week? That was a nice upset.

Literally App State over Michigan according to their classless coach.
NDSU needs to get LSU on the schedule.

Listening to one of the "big" irish podcasts today, the host said a P5 official called him after the game and told him it was roughing. He could very well be lying, I have no idea. And if he is telling the truth, the official who called him up could be wrong too.
To me, it was roughing just based on the hit. If the refs made the right call here, they are basically encouraging people to light up punters on 4th and long which almost certainly is not the purpose of the rule.
I get that refs need some bright line rules and probably appreciate them, but they probably should use a standard rather than a rule on that because he didn't just knock the guy over or bump into him there. That was a legit hit.
Do you think there should be any leeway on those types of hits or do you think that the rule the analyst described is the proper way of viewing it?
As I've mentioned before there are gray areas in many of these rules. Rules are often somewhat vague and then philosophies help to clarify them. This is a good example. To differentiate between running and roughing the leg example I shared is one of them. But forcible contact that displaces the kicker will be roughing. The official on the field didn't feel that was the case. The P5 friend of Coach Kelly felt otherwise. Neither are wrong and neither are right. They both make valid judgements.
Football is not black and white. It's messy and the ball bounces funny. If you expect everything to be black and white you are watching the wrong sport. If you expect every call to be right or wrong you will never be happy. The officials try really hard to remove the gray and be as consistent as possible. But it's impossible to accomplish.

I saw a NCAA rule enforcement announcement in regards to uniform standards. Said that there was going to be active enforcement this year. So I was pretty surprised when I saw players with bare mid-drifts this past week in a few games. I did notice more teams with regulation pants as opposed to last year.
Iowa vs Iowa State this weekend.
Kansas State vs SIU.
KU vs Coastal. who is RANKED 17 !!!
