False starts

[allcat]

Has anyone heard any answers about the false starts all year long , not just the last game. In the championship if you eliminate half of them we win in a rout. The Yale game and the championship were the worst but it happened all year, a lot in the red zone.

I think statistically it’s an anomaly. That being said it should be looked into. How many false starts did we have per game all season, and then the playoffs are off the charts. What changed?

From what I saw at the game, JT had a twitch that he just couldn't shake, and the D-linemen for the Birds were very active at multiple shifts just before snaps. I bet there is more to the story. Take away half of those false starts and its a 2 score win.

I’d also say a good number occurred in the red zone.

We had a few in the Yale game but it was the SFA game where we really struggled- 3 delay of game and 6 false start penalties. We know that the opposing defenses were mimicking our snap cadence in both of those games because there were defensive delay of game penalties which rarely happens. This didn’t happen against the gris but came out in full force against ISU. The defense shifting so much and maybe Reed being nervous was a bad combo. Hopefully, they come up with a different or silent snap count next year.

I don’t really care what the explanation was, but please tell me it wasn’t ’the crowd noise’.

There were a few reasons mentioned, I can confirm 'the crowd noise' was not one.

JP Flynn and Colter talk about it on the skyline post from today. No real answer there either but it is discussed.
