If you do you will have your account suspended.
I do not have the means to deal with legal issues and have already been contacted previously, so this absolutely needs to be adhered to. If you see any illegal links, please report them so a mod can remove them.
They almost never call that anymore. One of those "points of emphasis" that's not a real rule that they make up and call for a few years and then it disappears.
Gonzo has deceptive speed. It doesn't look like he is running full speed but he is consistently right on the wr. He is quietly solid and that is great for a rookie.
LSU recruits WR like Pittsburgh drafts them. They are always loaded. Almost anyone playing WR at LSU deserves a good look. And Boutte was very highly regarded going in.

for the most part, I’ve learned over the years that “point of emphasis” rules in all sports means someone whined that the refs weren’t doing their job “properly,” so the refs overcompensate by intentionally calling that penalty over and over again, and show how stupid the complaint was. And then things go back to normal without fanfare.
This happens in all sports. When I was 12 MLB tried to make balks a point of emphasis. Opening day they called 3 balks against Roger Clemens. Made game unwatchable and everyone upset. Within a month things went back to normal.
The only “point of emphasis” change that really did stick around was (unfortunately) the Polian rules on defensive holding.
If that throw had been anywhere but on target, forcing Boutte to break stride, the result would not have been a TD. That play was a prime example of scheme and execution. Boutte ran his route perfectly, Zappe's pass was right on the money so he was hit in stride, and because of that Boutte was in control and was able to turn up field and accelerate.
All of those who weren’t injured played to some extent, on both sides of the ball. I guess I didn’t see Keion White out there, but not sure if he’s a starter yet, and very possible I missed him.
Split the defenders and as you said, hit him in stride. Definitely a play they needed and it was a nice route by Boutte, who after a slow start has really come along well since camp started.
