I prefer the K&E slide rule to this one. 🥴
It’s a Pickett brand slide rule.

As usual, the NCAA gets it wrong again.
  • If there is no penalty,
  • and it's not reviewable,
  • then the QB has no reason not to try it anyway.
  • If the ref misses the call, it's not reviewable.
  • If he makes the call, the ball is down at the fake slide point so no loss to the Offense.
  • It needs to be that same as waiving for a fair catch, then taking off.
  • Can you imagine if that play carried no penalty, people would try it all the time in hopes the ref doesn't really see it. A subtle waive of the arm, and you're off with no consequences. Refs miss tons of sh!t so lots of people would get away with it.
  • Add a penalty to it and less chance of someone attempting it.

The ref upstairs won’t miss it. He may just see it when it DIDN’T happen.🧐🤓🥸
 
Heads up play while it was legal. But it needed to get the ax quick. And it did.
Yup.

Pickett did a great job of knowing exactly what the rule was/was not at the time and using it to his advantage.

But, for safety, the rule needed to be modified.
