Show Notes

1st & 25 podcast Episode 25 cover image

On this episode of the 1st & 25 podcast, we take a look at the start of high school playoffs and how various states determine which officials get postseason assignments.

We also discussed what seems to be an increase in missed false starts at the NFL level, an intentional grounding rule that has been misconstrued by many fans, and a case where a high school playoff game had a game-winning field goal on 5th down.

Ben Austro, Mark Schultz, Chris Seubert, and Pat Weber have this week’s discussion.
