After watching the ULM/WKU game...

[Mean Green 93-98]

The way it reads (to me) is " A live ball becomes dead... when a ball carrier is so held

that his forward progress is stopped."

The next line ("When in question...") says (to me) "if there is any question that the ball carrier's forward progress has been stopped, then the ball is dead whether or not the whistle has sounded or the official has declared it dead"

Interesting. I'm still not sure. I have never seen plays called that way. Refs don't always blow the whistle as soon as forward progress is stopped--otherwise, we would never see those second-effort surges. Also, I have never seen replay booth officials call a player down before the whistle blew because forward progress was stopped .

Anyone remember Marcus Trice's strip against K St? That is what that play reminds me of
