Basically they passed that torch to Ohio State.“Pulling a Clemson” was losing inexplicably, and taking yourself out of the title hunt in the process.
Dabo seems to have cured the program of that.

6-5-1 and 8-3-1 if you count BCACC was 6-5 in bowl games, and 8-3 in bowl games ATS. Get that *so soft* out of here.
I agree with you. I personally think Ohio State gets in over Clemson if Clemson had lost to Syracuse. Fortunately, it didn't happen, because the best team in the Country won the National Championship, and even though it wasn't really competitive, "getting it right" means about as much to me as the entertainment value.The ACC was *so* soft this year, I'm not sure Clemson would have automatically gotten into the playoff with a loss to Syracuse. If it had gotten in with a loss, I think that would have more down to its recent reputation than its resume this year relative to Georgia's or Ohio State's.
As long as there is a kicker present in the formation behind the holder, the holder may possess the ball with his knee touching the ground. In college he can attempt to pass or lateral while his knee is still in contact with the ground. In high school, he must first get up before attempting the pass.Rules question. Are holders exempt from being down with the ball and a knee touching the ground? Because the holder, before he stood up to get sacked, had possession of the ball with his knee touching the ground. So not sure if that was a missed call or if he’s somehow exempt by rule.

Minor note - For High School ball, it depends on the state. Several states play by NCAA rules, although the vast majority do not.As long as there is a kicker present in the formation behind the holder, the holder may possess the ball with his knee touching the ground.

Believe Massachusetts has been NCAA for a long time; but in 2019 will be NFHS a/k/a Federation.Minor note - For High School ball, it depends on the state. Several states play by NCAA rules, although the vast majority do not.
With Mass moving to Fed rules Texas will be the lone state that uses NCAA rules instead of high school.Minor note - For High School ball, it depends on the state. Several states play by NCAA rules, although the vast majority do not.
My money is on him going to play for Lane Kiffin at FAU.Jalen Hurts is apparently transferring.
OU needs a guy and they have a track record with transfers.My money is on him going to play for Lane Kiffin at FAU.
I hadn't heard about this. Do you know what the big differences are, if any, between the NCAA and Fed rules?With Mass moving to Fed rules Texas will be the lone state that uses NCAA rules instead of high school.
Can play next season, he’s a grad transfer.Jalen Hurts is apparently transferring.
I’ve been out of officiating for about 5 years, but if my sputtering memory is working, I remember there being something like 60 differences between NCAA and NFHS rules. Focus around safety was one theme. We only learned NCAA rules at the time I was officiating.I hadn't heard about this. Do you know what the big differences are, if any, between the NCAA and Fed rules?

A lot changed since Martell basically said on social media that he'd beat out Fields for the starting job.
Martell was the likely OSU '19 starter (if Fields didn't show up), and he's now entered the transfer portal. But Fields eligibility next year relies on him getting the waiver. So if Martell transfers and Fields get denied, that makes things pretty interesting at OSU.
Thanks for this, a couple of questions if you don't mind?A few highlights:
Blocking below the waist is illegal in Fed except for lineman right after the snap.
Clock always starts on the snap regardless of time left if the ball goes out of bounds in Fed
DPI is always 15 yards in Fed, but doesn't carry an automatic 1st down (so dumb).
Any kick is an automatic touch back if it breaks the plane of the goal line in Fed (so no run backs from inside the end zone...you may think this is a recent addition for risk minimization, but it actually has been a rule since the beginning of the game and the NCAA and NFL opened up their rules to allow run backs).
High school game is 48 minutes, even in states that use NCAA rules.
NCAA uses the 40 second play clock similar to NFL, in Fed the play clock is always 25 seconds starting after the referee blows his whistle for the next play (for now...)
Fed doesn't have 10-second runoffs are any different clock rules under 2 minutes. The clock rules you use with 12 minutes on the clock are the same you use at 30 seconds.
And my favorite:
Similar to the NFL, high school allows you to free kick after a fair catch for 3 points. The NCAA eliminated the free kick-fair catch some time ago.
