Any chance if the exact same play happened to a Rutgers wr it would be reversed? Penn state is a great team no doubt, but they get every break every single time.

Looked like a td to me
Well if we were the refs it looked like an int. to me. Indisputable evidence Int. stands. Remember it's not supposed to be a guess but indisputable evidence, I didn't see any. Call on the field should have stood either way TD or Int..

Wow. That was more BS than the PI call. The fix is in. They DESPERATELY want PSU in the National Championship game.

And Penn State gets a mcsorely needed touchdown on a total hail mary 50/50 ball. Luck of the Irish for the PSU quarterback.

Really hope whoever finishes #4 can crush penn state? If they win the national championship, I may have to give up watching sports and get a new hobby.

They do that often though like I was saying above. He gets it near the receivers and they do a nice job of adjusting or going up getting it.

I thought #3 controlled the bal with his left hand against his shoulder all the way to the ground and only after they were both on the ground the os guy pulled it away. Just my opinion but I thought it was pretty clearly a td.

I thought the OSU defender had a hand in their and a lot of jostling of the ball to the ground. Couldn't tell who had control until on the ground and the defender had it at the end. I likened the play to controlling it through the catch. As there wasn't definitive evidence that he did. Just like the Sterling Shepard play where he didn't control the ball all the way through the catch. So no TD. College rules are the same in that regard.

When I think applicable, not today though.
What I do know, is it damn sure wasn't the refs

The refs didn't cause the loss. However had they called the game correctly and fairly then at least we would have had more of a chance. It's not asking for too much to make a proper call. There as absolutely no reason why the refs reviewed the spot to give UM the 1st down and then not review the 4th down, which IMHO was CLEARLY short. Curious as to your thoughts as to why that play wasn't reviewed?

Do you think the hold on Maietti was a good one? That gave UM 7 points. Do you thin UM was holding free for the whole game ?
Do you think that was not a blatant block in the back that was obvious to everyone on a key play ?

And btw I do not subscribe to conspiracy theories either. I don't think they "wanted " UM to win. I'm just tired of being shafted.

Call a ****** call a ****** call.

Call a ****** call a ****** call.
I have no problem calling a ****** call...******
I have a problem with you thinking refs purposely favor one team over another at this level...especially us, refs have zero reason to hose us.

I don't think they call it against us on purpose. See my "i don't believe in conspiracy theories" quote.

I do think that today we get screwed on several occasions.

Do you think those examples I mentioned were ****** or do you think the refs got it right?

I felt that way too on one of the replays but from another I thought it was clearly a catch and it was not a fight until they were both on the ground.

We need to figure out how Penn State does it. Being outgained 2-1 and only 218 yards yet they are winning 35-27. We seem to have no trouble being outgained 2-1 and only getting 200 yards. 35 points sure would have been nice today.

probably has a little something to do with having the best player in college football along with one of the top5 QBs

Take away the opening kick return and points off turnovers and they're losing.

Well our Purdue game we were outgained and won. We had some good STs with the punter that day. PSU has had 2 KO returns leading to 14 pts. A few other big plays as well just like we had a couple big plays against Purdue.

Ok, I can buy that.
But when your O line is constantly fighting penetration and getting beat, your going to get called.
When your D line doesn't penetrate and cause havoc, you wont get calls

Schiano's defense is not responsible for the kickoff return TD that started the game and not fully responsible for the TD on the short field after that other huge kickoff return. Two borderline calls in the end zone (although I thought the PSU guy did have the ball first on that play) for another 14 pts. (Yeah, I know they didn't get the calls.make the plays.)

Exciting game.
