NCAA Rules Survey

[Christopher Moen]

Definitions are critical in any rule book. Rule 2 is all definitions. The definition of hurdling is jumping over an opponent leading with your foot or knee (as opposed to diving over head first) and the opponent has nothing but his feet contacting the ground. I re-watched the play from the Iowa State game and the defender had a hand and knee on the ground so that's clearly not a hurdle.

Carson sure can get some airtime.

His vert was by far his worse combine category.

Which is exactly why he jumped forward instead of upwards.

Let's flip the script on some of these labels.

As in:

"Dude, what's your horizontal?"

or,

"Wow! You can really get up in the air. What's your high jump?"

or better yet,

"Jeez. That guy is fast. I wonder what his .022727 mile time is".

.022727 is pretty close to my vertical.

I went to the pre-Superbowl activities at the Minneapolis Convention Center with my kids, where we got to do all the combine tests (vertical, 3 cone, 40, etc.). The people running the vertical told me I did 29". I laughed - there is no way my vertical is even close to that. I think they were either just making up answers to folks, or were off for everybody. It was young adults (or even teens?) doing the measurements, and they were going through about 150+ people every hour.

Maybe the kids just misplaced a decimal point.....
