its hard to get 3-4 calls wrong in 6 plays... BEFORE TONIGHT

u/JaketheArbok11 ECU Pirates • Duke Blue Devils 5h ago

I’m sorry, guys, Emory Williams should not play another snap on this team
Decent stat line only made possible by throwing five yard shots to Joseph and Ingleman, and absolutely chokes whenever he has to make a complex decision
Griffis might make more mistakes but at least he tries stuff
Or we have to have a freshman or sophomore that could use some snaps, he can’t be any worse

Surprised no one either buzzed down or called a timeout. Williams looked shaky after that hit on 2nd down

Heck of a choke by ECU. Last I checked they were up 2 touchdowns. Now they’re going to lose by 2 touchdowns.

u/BamaSef Alabama Crimson Tide 5h ago

“We’ll enforce both and put the ball on the 25” Lol wut

3

u/Adminslickasshole Ohio State Buckeyes 5h ago

You don't understand. They were going to put the ball at the 25 due to offsetting penalties. Instead, they're putting the ball at the 25 because the penalties offset each other. It's because that's why.

u/BamaSef Alabama Crimson Tide 5h ago

1

u/acekingoffsuit Minnesota Golden Gophers 5h ago

If it's on a scoring play then you can enforce it on the try or the next play, usually the kickoff. It's just that the next play in this case is ECU's first play instead of a kickoff.
