Can someone explain how this is a flag?

They said at the beginning of the year that the whole smelling the finger thing was going to unsportsmanlike. Also banned in the NFL this year.

If you watched the game. They explained it.

Ref had a parlay for sure

Can’t say I disagree with the rule, but boy oh boy, get ready for a lot of stupid penalties this season if enforced.

Learn the rules and learn the proper terminology. When a player breaks a rule it's not a penalty. It's a foul, just like in basketball. The penalty is the yardage or loss of down or automatic first down. The NCAA rule book is free to download. Have someone read you the rules.

@grok explain the gang signal he flashed and how every coach and player knows it’s an automatic penalty for flashing that gang sign which was nothing to do with the first down signal pointing

When this happens to a Georgia RB or Ohio Stste WR then I’ll believe it.

What was the spread? That will tell you all you need to know.

It’s called ACC refs

Thats fucking ridiculous

It was announced in March, so the players coaches and fans wouldn't have questions

I guess CFB wants to lose all their viewership too.

I'm a Carolina fan, and I thought this was a crazy call. It was nowhere near exaggerating, no delay. That was a bad call on the refs

If they had called it consistently, then okay. However, they missed another call in this game, as well as 2-3 in the Stanford v. Hawaii game.

Learn the new rules before you come on here and act like you know everything you fucking idiot

Because they said it was going to be flagged this season. Weak. Ass. Call. But a point of emphasis this year. Guess what every team will be watching this week. This point of emphasis will be forgotten in the playoffs.

@BirdGang1984 At first I was with you then realized he wiped his nose at the beginning of the taunt. Supposedly they banned that

Haha 2 hands first downs are ok.. but one hand first downs are always frowned upon. 😄 🤣 😂 😆

It’s taunting and it doesn’t belong in the game. I’m glad they are flagging it . Just my opinion

OK, now pay attention because it gets kind of complicated. They are playing under the college rules. Not NFL rules. So, it's a penalty. Understand now?

Ref had the under or the points

It’s the nose wipe that’s the penalty. Don’t shoot the messenger- you asked, I answered.

He wiped his nose. Can't do that anymore

Fucking dumb ass new rules.

WNBA tougher 😂😂😂

This gotta be your worst post of all time. Purposely cutting out what the TCU player actually did to get the penalty then acting like the unc player did the same thing…

Fixed fixed fixed.. that’s the explanation.

Nose wipe you can't see from this angle. Supposedly a gang symbol. Point of emphasis this year

It's the smell finger not the point. They made it clear before the start of the season that is not OK anymore.

It was unsportsmanlike.

Sports betters will love and hate this mark my words

When the refs bet against your team, it’s a flag.

Stupid cheating fckn ACC refs! NC did the exact same thing in the exact same game - even worse and NO Fckn Flag!!!

Must be new to college football. Rule was clearly stated and explained to all college football coaches and teams about what is acceptable.

I can answer that one. Because it’s the Heels.
