I know there was a thread a while back on football rule questions but I didn't feel like searching for it. After seeing the blocked punt by Florida it made me wonder - if a punted ball touches a member of the receiving team it's usually a live ball which can be recovered by the kicking team. On this play the punt was tipped and landed past the line of scrimmage where it was downed by Michigan. Why isn't it a live ball? Does the ball contact have to be passed the LOS?

Michigan defense only allows 3 points against Florida.
This might be a fun B1G year.

Holly Rowe......mercy!

Georgia travels north of the Mason-Dixon line for the first time in the regular season since 1965 when they play at ND Saturday.

That's just amazing. I love college football's regionalism (which, incidentally, is why I am hardly an ND fan any longer).

And before anyone says that regionalism is a nice word to describe hicks, do me two favors: 1) Blow me and then 2) go back to Manhattan (and not the Bill Snyder one). There are just as many rubes in the Midwest as in the South. In fact, we have whole neighborhoods set aside for them (like St. John Fisher parish).

Last time the teams met was for the National Championship in the 1981 Sugar Bowl. Had relatives coaching on both sides, so we were pretty heavily invested.

Yep its going to be fun Saturday night. I agree with you on Notre Dame expanding their list of teams that they schedule. They should have joined the Big Ten with USC and one or two of the service academies as their non-conference opponents. Them not playing Michigan really leaves a hole on the schedule.

Notre Dame-Georgia is really a battle of the 2 most perennially overrated teams at the start of every season. Georgia must be really bad this year if the writers didn't even give them that top 7 spot they always blow within the first 5 weeks of the season. It is good to see though that ND is already back in the top 25 off a win over mighty Temple!

Also Urban Meyer kind of deserves a shoutout thread for calling out Tom Herman for his pathetic excuse making and anyone dumb enough to believe it.

Purdue playing under the bright lights of a prime time game!

Take Eastern Michigan
