Roughing the passer In gridiron football , roughing the passer refers to making contact with the passer ( usually the quarterback ) after the passer has released the ball from his hands . Touching the quarterback while he is in possession of the ball is a permitted act of defense . But once he releases the ball , defenders are not permitted to make contact with the quarterback unless carried to do so by momentum . Judgment over whether contact following release was the result of a violation or momentum is made by the referee on a case - by - case basis . Roughing the passer can also be called if the defender commits intimidating acts toward the passer , such as picking him up and stuffing him into the ground , or wrestling with him . An exception to the roughing rule is where the quarterback rejoins a play after passing , such as in an attempt to block , recover a fumble , or tackle a defensive player who has gained possession of the ball . In this case , the quarterback is treated as any other player and may legally be contacted . Justification . The NFL makes roughing the passer against the rules in an effort to protect its star players , and frequently , quarterbacks fall into this category .

2010 Fiesta Bowl The 2010 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl game was a post - season college football bowl game between the # 4 TCU Horned Frogs , champions of the Mountain West Conference , and the # 6 Boise State Broncos , champions of the Western Athletic Conference . The game was played Monday , January 4 , 2010 , at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale , Arizona . The game was part of the 2009 – 10 Bowl Championship Series ( BCS ) of the 2009 NCAA Division I FBS football season and was the concluding game of the season for both teams involved . For the second consecutive year , TCU and BSU faced off in a bowl game of historic significance . In the 2008 Poinsettia Bowl , TCU and Boise State played in the first non - BCS game ever in which both teams were ranked higher than both participants in a BCS bowl game in the same season ( specifically the 2009 Orange Bowl ) , with the Horned Frogs winning 17 – 16 . The historic milestones of this game were : Because both non - AQ teams were placed in the same bowl game , the bowl was derisively referred to as the " Separate But Equal Bowl " , the " Quarantine Bowl " , the " Fiasco Bowl " , the " BCS Kids ' Table " , etc . Some had called for a boycott because of this . There was wide speculation that the BCS bowl selection committees maneuvered TCU and Boise State into the same bowl so as to deny them the chances to " embarrass " two AQ conference representatives in separate bowls , as Boise State had done in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl and Utah had done in the 2005 Fiesta Bowl and 2009 Sugar Bowl ( prior to the game , non - AQ teams were 3 – 1 versus AQ teams in BCS bowls ) . In response , Fiesta Bowl CEO ( and , in 2012 , convicted felon ) John Junker called those allegations " the biggest load of crap that I ' ve ever heard in my life " and said that " [ w ] e ' re in the business of doing things that are on behalf of our bowl game and we don ' t do the bidding of someone else to our detriment . " Beyond the unappealing nature of " David vs . David " contest which resulted from this pairing in a major bowl , the appeal was further diminished due to the fact that it was a rematch of the Poinsettia Bowl from the previous bowl season . In the weeks prior to the game , a different controversy arose when past and present employees made public allegations that the Fiesta Bowl had made illegal campaign campaign contributions . WWE personality John Cena was the Grand Marshal and the coin toss er for the event . The Broncos won the game by a score of 17 points to 10 . Highlights . The key play of the game came in the fourth quarter when , faced with fourth down from their own 33 , Boise State pulled off another Fiesta Bowl trick play , this time a fake punt , known as " The Riddler " . Punter Kyle Brotzman threw a 30 - yard pass to Kyle Efaw to keep the drive going , which ultimately resulted in Martin ' s touchdown run .

Dicker - rod The dicker - rod ( also spelled dickerod ) was used in the defunct World Football League in 1974 for the purpose of replacing the first down chains more commonly used in gridiron football organizations . The device was invented and patented by George Dicker of Orange County , California . The device was two and a half yards ( 90 inches ) long . If a ball was placed on the 23 yard line , a marker would be placed 2 yards up the rod at the 25 yard line . Then , in order to measure whether a first down was attained , the dicker rod would be laid down at the 35 yard line , and the spot of the ball would be measured against the marker on the rod , which would now be at the 33 yard line , 2 yards away from the 35 yard line . The dicker - rod was intended for convenience . A full chain crew was not needed , and measurements could be conducted by one person instead of the typical three . However , it never caught on , and the three - man chain crew remains the standard .
