Every 3rd grade flag football team runs them so it amazes me that officiating crews are too stupid to see them and call the penalty.

They see them. It's just part of the game and you have to figure out how to defend them instead of whining about them like the Stoops boyzzzz do. :05.18-flustered:
Pick plays are not allowed. And three big pass plays they all resulted because of pick plays.
It was justified!
You're joking right... they can't be defended when you're blocking a defender that's supposed to covering a certain receiver in man... WE RUN MAN COVERAGE... and they've been doing it since the 1st quarterQuote:

I hate to say it, but we need to start taking advantage of these things. It feels like we don't exploit the grey areas of things enough when it comes to play on the field.

Yes. OU does it too.
So, stop whining about it. It makes you look like a child. But when you're desperate and have no answer, I guess it is what you have to resort to. http://www.soonerfans.com/images/icons/bob.gif
ah...my question on these, again, I coached HS basketball not football so I'm probably wrong...
but just like bball in man/man coverage SOMETIMES it's a good idea to "switch". After seeing the play stoops was pizzed about I thought, why didn't the outside def just take the inside receiver after the pick, he saw it coming...to me that is where the def needed to communicate (if it was happening all night) and say hey we'll switch. I know it isn't as easy as that, but at least there might have been a defender withing 5 yrds of the guys....
yes/no..I'm crazier than a pet coon?
I thought they got rid of the pushing rule this year?

Switching is done more in the pros than college. The problem is that you basically can dictate your WR - Defender matchup by picking off the best corner and keeping him on the low route. The bigger issue was that we had a safety over the top who didn't help the picked corner (which is why you have a safety over the top).Quote:

The difference is that it should be called when its blatant like what Baylor was doing. Those were obvious picks and deserved to get flagged. If you can't even be sneaky about it you deserve to get flagged like they did. They stopped running them after the flag so that seems to indicate they knew what they were doing and were going to keep doing it until they were called.Quote:

I agree with the opinion that we should have dine it more ourselves.
Picks are a man to man thing. Most of the night Baylor was in a zone.Quote:
