There’s been a lot of discussion about the “leaping” called against Cal last Saturday. The way Jeff Tedford explained it, Cal was flagged because it is illegal to land on another player in any circumstance, which is what the player did (Tedford thought it was Brett Johnson; I thought it was Marcus Ezeff; haven’t seen the replay). Tedford said he was more upset because he thought the officials called it on No. 18, which would have been Mike Mohamed. He didn’t seem as upset with the call itself.

Hey JO, does the rulebook actually say a player behind the line can’t take a running start and jump straight in the air to try and block a kick (so long as he doesn’t land on someone, etc.)?? I find that hard to believe. That’s what looked like happened on the play, until an AZ state guy ran into our guy.
Anyway, on an unrelated note, any news on Jahvid and his availability for the AZ game? Also, what’s the safety situation? Are we still rotating Johnson, Cattouse and Hicks, with Ezeff being the mainstay, or will there be two solid starters from here on out?

JO,
With about 2 mins left in the game, the ASU punt returner signaled a fair catch but caught the ball and began to run. No penalty was called. The fans at Memorial cleary noticed it, but I haven’t read anything. Have you heard anymore about this.

It was a running start that was the “leaping” call. I replayed it a bunch of times and all he did was take 1 step forward and jump. Nowhere near landing on any other player. If that is the rule that might be the dumbest rule in all of sports. It needs to either be taken out or really adjusted. Imagine if that was with :30 seconds left in a tie game. Your going to determine the outcome of a game on a one step and jump rule? I don’t know what officials school the Pac-10 refs go to but they are GOD awful. I love the Pac-10 but they need to do something about the refereeing.

OH YEAH! Dasarte Yarnway is a Bear! I just glanced at the scout.com commit list, and he’s on it!

Here’s a big back that many of us have been dreaming of!
Go Bears!

Click on my name for a great article from the Chronicle on Mr. Yarnway. Some Bear faithful think he could gain an additional 20 lbs and be a monster back.
GO BEARS!

Great! Great! Great news!
He already rushed for 800 yards and 9 TDs and 1 on the air in just 4 games in his senior year.
Go Future Bears!

Tony, Here’s the rule according to a poster on BearInsider:
No defensive player, in an attempt to gain an advantage, may step, jump or stand on an opponent. No defensive player who runs forward from beyond the neutral zone and leaps from beyond the neutral zone in an obvious attempt to block a field goal or try may land on any player(s). It is not a foul if the leaping player was aligned in a stationary position
within one yard of the line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped.

Why didn’t Tedford challenge ASU’s 2nd TD, especially since it’s illegal to push a RB into the end zone.

Bob,
I was wondering the same thing. Reminded me of Bush/Leinart a couple years back versus Fresno State.

I agree. That call on the “leap” was really ticky-tack. I don’t believe he even landed on anyone, but can’t recall. But all he did was take 2 steps and jump straight up - how can that be illegal? I mean c’mon, if I saw a competitor do that to us, I’d call it a hell of a play, not illegal. Rule needs to be modified a bit. Had that been a pivotal play, the Pac 10 refs would be in a lot of hot water - yet again.
IMHO.

Hey Bob,
Your question: “Why didn’t Tedford challenge ASU’s 2nd TD, especially since it’s illegal to push a RB into the end zone.”
I think I know the answer, but I’m not 100%. I believe a missed call cannot be reviewed. If someone knows better, please share…
GO BEARS!

IMHO,the PAc-10 refs missed that one, it ain’t rugby, and that sure looked like a scrum to me…

Tony, the call had nothing to do with taking a running start and jumping. The call was for leaping and then landing on another player. Jahvid appears to be progressing well and it looks like he will play against Arizona. As far as the safeties are concerned, Hicks is still out with a thigh bruise so it looks like Johnson and Ezeff are pretty entrenched as starters. But I think you’re going to see Sean Cattouse get more and more time. He played very well against ASU.
