Bad rule.

[Boyd94]

I'm no Ohio State fan but they kinda just got screwed. Penn State kicked a field goal and it missed. They were called for a false start, so they got another chance. I think in this instance, Ohio State should be able to decline the penalty. Thoughts?

See your point but it's a pre-snap penalty

False start is a pre snap penalty that you can’t decline. I get what you’re saying it kinda stinks.

I know if we lose to Tennessee over something like that, I'd be really peeved.

It’s like being able to purchase extra leg room on an airplane, this rule is institutional racism.

The whistle might have affected the kick. The rule is a good one.

Should be a free play like defensive offsides.
