ULL fumble at end of game

[kj86]

I watched a reply of the game last night. It looked like the ULL guy made a weak, at best, effort to pull the ball away from whoever recovered it. Looked like all he had to do was roll over and ULL would have retained possession. Bet he's getting ripped on their board...and by his coaches.

It looked like the ref was already running up to declare we recovered it to me. I don't think he could of got the ball away from trice anyway.

Speaking of that series, watched the taped game and that called back td, sure seemed to be a bad call by the refs.

The fumble seemed to be a case of the ULL player grabbing the ball after the play was over, which works often when there is a big pile up.

There are always if and buts, but it seems that bad ref calls cost NT two tds. If that had not happened and ULL's two big plays had been prevented and this would have been a rout. Of course ULL will counter that if a couple of their long tosses could have been caught, they would have won. It is just good to have NT win and not have to play the what if game.

Chancellor was off the line. 5 men in the backfield.

I was at the game so I did not see the replay on ESPN2 but from what I understand, during the broadcast, they ran a CG line across the screen to show who was and wasnt in the backfield. According to the announcers and their CG line there weren't 5 in the backfield and the play should have resulted in a TD.

100% he was off the line. He was lined up behind the left tackle.

And Hilbert Jackson came flying in and knocked the ULL receiver away from the ball.

It looked to me that his foot was far enough forward to not be a penalty. I also think the TD that they ruled down on the 1 was nonsense. That was a bad call.

A million times this. The called back touchdown was a 50/50 judgement call. Bryd clearly broke the plain before he was down.

Did you watch the replay? Clearly a very marginal call that is usually not made. I agree with the announcers on this one.

[unt_rocket09]

I watched it. It was ticky tack but he was technically off the line. Now the real BS call was the TD on the 1. That was horrible. Byrd was clearly over the line. Also la la got a great spot once from about the 3 to the 1.

The call was that the left tackle was in the backfield. He was just in a pass blocking stance. Bad call.

That wasn't the call. The announcers were mistaken. The call was on Chancellor.
