October 14, 201213 yr An official running in from the side does not end the play...a whistle does. Ruling on the field is he didn't cross the plain....replay shows he did. Seems like a fairly simple call to me.
October 14, 201213 yr I was pulling for the Irish, but let's also not forget about the bad personal foul penalty called on the hit on Golson on the game tying drive. That was a gift 15 yards.
October 14, 201213 yr Stanford got beat at the line of scrimmage, and had horrible play calling on the last drive. The final play was blown dead by the official and ruled not a TD. No way to overturn it right or wrong.
October 14, 201213 yr The call on the field was going to stand no matter what they called. The reply doesn't show with 100% certainty that the runners left elbow was down or not before the ball broke the goal line. If they had called touchdown, then that would've stood. However, the ref determined the runner to be down, and that's what stood. Even a camera angle on the goal line wouldn't have helped. The ND player was blocking the view of the left elbow to determine if it touched or not. This call could've gone either way, and ND will learn they have to continue playing until the whistle as they started celebrating too early.

Seems like a fairly simple call to me. I disagree I watched the play again the official running in did blow his whistle. When an official is running in to spot the ball that signifies the whistle has blown and he is spotting the ball.
October 14, 201213 yr I think the Man upstairs just likes to stir the pot every once in a while when it comes to the Irish. :notworthy:
October 14, 201213 yr It really could've been called either way. If he was ruled in, then ND got screwed. Great game though. That's what football should look like, instead of those 70-63 games. How about ND's defense? Hasn't given up a touchdown since Sept 8th. And it's not like they haven't played anyone in that span either. Edited October 14, 201213 yr by Capernicus41
October 14, 201213 yr I believe Forward Progress is not reviewable. Therefore the refs could not have deemed his forward progress stopped before he crossed the goal line and then review the play. The review was to see if the ball crossed the goal before the runner was down. IMO, it was a very tough call but I think it was a TD.
October 14, 201213 yr Maybe the refs had dinner reservations. Do you think Stanford would've gone for 2 if the TD had been allowed? I don't......moot point, I guess.
October 14, 201213 yr I disagree I watched the play again the official running in did blow his whistle. When an official is running in to spot the ball that signifies the whistle has blown and he is spotting the ball. I understand the logisitcs of what officials do, but I have no idea how you "see" a whistle blow....I wasn't there so I have nothing to go on other than they reviewed the play. If a whistle had been blown, the game was over and there was nothing to review right?
October 14, 201213 yr I'm going to assume plenty of the anti-Irish have posted on this one; I don't think other teams would have gotten the grief over this as they have.

Seems like a fairly simple call to me. Stanford got hosed Guys we seen the same thing today in the Bengals game. Cedric Peerman had the ball and was stopped but continued to try to get the ball forward and he ended up fumbling. However the ref was already coming and said his forward progress was stopped even though he fumbled before the whistle blew. This was not some new call or something, a ref may determine forward progress was stopped before even blows a whistle and we saw it again today. This is a normal thing.

That can be debated: Navy is 3-3 Purdue is 3-3 Michigan State is 4-3 Michigan is 4-2 Miami is 4-3 Stanford is 4-2 Of the last four teams, which squad has an electrifying Offense? Any of them?
