Can anyone please explain to me how our DL shifts are not illegal and if possible link/copy paste the current rule?
My wife and I were at a charity related dinner last night and at the table behind us were a number of Texas fans, all of which I am on a text thread with. My back was to them, but eavesdropping as their table began ranting non-stop about how our DL shifts are illegal (that cause the falls starts). Additionally, they mentioned a recent CFB rule change created to stop it and Kirby from doing this, how it is now black and white and we abuse it but never get called for it. I didn’t catch all of it but that is the gist of it.
I know enough to know they are wrong, or it clearly would be something every coach we beat would whine about. For example, during Heupel’s/Bobby Hill postgame interview and he got into whining about anything he could, he didn’t mention it.
However, I don’t know the exact rule, or the aforementioned rule change, or what color if any is maybe needed as to how one might misinterpret it, etc. BUT, hopefully with the help from a few of my bulldog brothers or sisters on here, I will be equipped enough to go ahead and bait those UT fans from last night on an existing text thread into making those statements they made last night, and then bury them with a single text that cuts their legs and ego out from under them on not only how wrong they are regarding that rule but that is so crystal clear they have nowhere to go then immediate humility, which that entire fan base needs more than any other at time, and right now I would greatly appreciate anyone’s help to “make them eat $hit”. Thanks in advance! Go Dawgs
