October 24, 201114 yr ^ That doesn't matter that guys hand is in the end zone. The line is straight up from his hand the ball is clearly across...[ATTACH]34813[/ATTACH] I suck at geometry so it brings up point #3 in my last post. What did the replay officials look at? I honestly couldn't have looked at that on video and overturned the call on the field. If they have that pic with those lines then I might have been convinced it was clear and definitive.
October 24, 201114 yr He should have held the ball out with one hand. Would have been much clearer then.
October 24, 201114 yr Can you imagine if they had to score like rugby players: actually place the ball IN the endzone, ON the ground, under control?
October 24, 201114 yr 1. I got that pic last night. 2. It was taken from the 1 yard line. Of course it looks like he crossed the plane at the 1 yard line. 3. Did the replay officials get still shots or video? Still isn't clear or definitive to me. 4. Is that the ball or his arm? It doesn't matter where it was taken from. Anything directly up from the line to the ball and back is in. The replay officials had this view because that is a frame from the ESPN camera. They could easily have paused it at that exact moment, even advanced it frame by frame. Like HT said, look at the guy on the grounds hand. It is on the line. The ball is directly above his hand, actually above and left slightly.
October 24, 201114 yr The rule is that if any part of the ball touches the white line it is a TD, right? There's no doubt that he got the ball that far. Crazy ending. All the talk last week was about the Big 4 of 'Bama, LSU, Oklahoma and OK State. I really thought Wisconsin was right behind them at #5 and would be the team to capitalize should any of them falter. It is just tough to win week after week no matter how good you are.
October 24, 201114 yr I just have to say it again. That was a crazy ending. Hail Mary's are always crazy, but to have one caught inside the one and an official review to determine whether he broke the plane. This one was as close as you can get.
October 24, 201114 yr It is indisputable. I can say for 100% fact that it is across the line. Look at the picture. Are we looking at the same picture?

Hail Mary's are always crazy, but to have one caught inside the one and an official review to determine whether he broke the plane. This one was as close as you can get. Probably one of the most exciting/fun games to watch in years and I actually wanted Wisconsin to win.
