Very strange game last night, Campbell had 2 TD's called back, 1 for holding which was a good block IMO. The other one was illegal formation, but the ref on our sideline threw the flag on our WR clear on the other side of the field saying he was on the LOS when he should have been off. We also had a 15 yd unsportsmanlike penalty called on us for counting out the time it took Newport to get a play off?? Congrats to Newport, they were a physical team. Good luck to them in the post season.

Explain the illegal formation penalty.

Newport has had a pretty good middle school team the last couple of years if I'm not mistaken.

Explain the illegal formation penalty.

 

The ref on our sideline said there was 5 players off the LOS. He said the 5th guy was our WR on the other side of the field. He was on the line, I have no idea how he can make that call???

OK gotcha. He can tell based on the signal the ref on the other side gives. If the ref holds his arm straight out to his side towards the offense, that is the signal that the widest man is off the line of scrimmage.

Who is #81 for Newport? He was a real player
