0 for Miss

Arkansas has some OL that are not of this world - they can not be human.

Biggest mothers I have ever seen.
 
Hate that Mississippi had to lose like that. Kid gets seriously hurt and loses the game by just a yard.

On the bright side, our loss against Ole Miss in the bowl is looking a lot better. Can you believe we played Ole Miss with Vad?
 
Im sorry, but if Arkansas is as tough as people say they are....they would win one of these games in conference. You dont lose 16 or 17 in a row if you are not a bad team.
 
Didn't see it live, but I just watched the replay of the Treadwell injury/fumble. Correct me if I am wrong, but his ankle was clearly on the ground prior to fumbling. Shouldn't he be declared down?

Knees and up is the rule IIRC

Feet and hands are allowed, but wrists aren't. So, I would think ankle is the same as the wrist?

Perhaps someone else can look up the rule...but I am pretty sure they mentioned that chins don't count as being down during the Louisville FSU game.

You know something has gone horribly wrong if they have to review a play to see if your chin hit the ground rather than any other part of your body.

Head, hands, and feet are allowed. I didn't see the FSU game either. How does one hit their chin on the ground and not touch any other body part? Wow!
 
Yeah, but is an ankle part of the foot? Need to see the exact rule.

Also I question the assertion that his ankle was contacting the ground prior to the fumble.
 
The rule is that the leg starts with the calf according to a rules expert from one of the 12:00 games today
 
From the rule book:

RULE 4

Ball Declared Dead
ARTICLE 3. A live ball becomes dead and an official shall sound his whistle or declare it dead:

b. When any part of the ball carrier's body, except his hand or foot, touches the ground or when the ball carrier is tackled or otherwise falls and loses possession of the ball as he contacts the ground with any part of his body, except his hand or foot

So that doesn't answer the question of "What exactly counts as the foot?"

I believe if the ankle is no longer connected to the rest of the leg it doesnt count. Thus the fumble.
 
Interestingly a previous controversy over this rule also involved Auburn. In the 2010 National Championship game, some people thought both Michael Dyer's wrist and ankle were down on the same play:

He was ruled not down.

Weird that Michael Dyer is still playing.

OK, but where is it in the rules? An unwritten rule is is the worst rule of all, because it leads to uneven enforcement. Maybe there is some guidelines or clarifications document that answers the question.
