Re: fun stats

What were the total penalties for Saturday's game against NDSU? Ours? Theirs?
I was serving at church so sporadically had my earbuds in listening to the game. Everytime I listened I swear Petey was saying, "there's another darn flag..."
Any thoughts on why so many penalties?

Re: fun stats

Refs were quick on the trigger. 272 yards in penalties.

Re: fun stats

Has the specific crew ever worked fully together before? I can't see it all being the teams faults for those penalties...maybe half of em. That was just crazy.

IMHO, the officials saw something during warm-ups. My guess is that they saw NDSU with the attitude turned up and ready to take their shot at the champ, and decided they needed to keep it under control.

Both teams were unfairly penalized at times. Take them all away and UNI wins a slightly higher scoring game.

That same crew worked:
SIU @ WIU
YSU @ Indiana St
Austin Peay @ Illinois St
EIU @ Indiana State

Haven't been able to find them listed for any game for that first week, but I might not have checked all games involving MVFC teams.

OK, now let's take it one step farther: How many penalties were called in THOSE games???

In addition, after watching the NDSU game on TV, has ANYONE been able to figure out the penalty "5/6 men in the backfield" that was called 3 times during the NDSU game--twice against UNI and once against NDSU??? Every time it was called, it was in punt formation. My observations indicate that the teams never altered the way they lined up for the punt.

I do NOT remember seeing on TV the UNI punt where we changed our formation before the snap. Was that also called for 6 men in the backfield?

Need some help from you "rules geeks" on that one PLEASE?

Re: fun stats

um yeah, they are calling WAY too many penalties. They need to be reviewed by the league.

Re: fun stats

# penalties & penalty yardage for each team
UNI (13-121) @ NDSU (14-151) (27 total...new record!!!)
SIU (6-88) @ WIU (9-75) (15 total...an off day, evidently)
YSU (9-85) @ Indiana St (8-69) 17 total...close!)
Austin Peay (8-41) @ Illinois St (10-99) (18 total...tied old record!)
EIU (10-78) @ Indiana State (8-70) 18 total...old record set?!?)

Perhaps they want to make an "impact" on the game?

Re: fun stats

18 was the record for VALLEY Games, not, just NCAA games. The Valley record was 18. Which now is 27.

My bad, Purr! I was on a roll! I wonder if 27 is a record for ALL divisions?
