Correct.

Eligible A80 is airborne near the sideline when he receives a legal forward pass. As he comes to the ground facing the field of play, his toe (a) clearly drags the ground inbounds before he falls out of bounds; (b) touches the ground inbounds and then his heel comes down on the sideline in a continuous motion. He maintains firm control of the ball in both cases.

RULING: (a) Complete pass. (b) Incomplete pass. The continuous toe-heel touching is part of a single process and by interpretation he has landed out of bounds, thus not executing a catch.

So...are you watching the Jeanty game? Because they definitely f***ed that up. This rule is implemented in college?

Bowling Green lad? He's a mid round pick by Howard already.

Yep. I’m hoping he gets lower feedback than expected because he’s such a weird athlete.

I am not, but I pulled that directly from the NCAA rule book.

Oregon needs to win because I talk too much shit about Wisconsin for them to win this game
 
Hoo boy. You hate to see a call like that one on Wisconsin in a big spot.

*Edit* Still a disaster of a year from Beck, but he’s been good tonight.
 
I just don’t believe any of these mid-grade teams can win these rock fights with good teams when their QB play is this poor. Wisconsin as usual could be good if they ever found one again.

Why didn’t Oregon kick the FG instead of going for it on 4th down? It worked out but just a curious decision

Going up 6 isn’t as big of a difference as people think it is. Losing to a TD + XP is a completely different world from going to OT.

Plus because coaches are conservative and often play the wrong way down 3, it tells the other team to play more optimally by going for the TD instead of playing for the FG.

Sure but then you are 3 points away from OT. Lots of stupid shit can happen in OT

Read the second part I edited in. Not Kicking is 100% correct and it’s not a particularly close call.

You’re trying to maximize Win%, not go as long as possible without losing. Oregon is still the better team. They’re >50% to win in OT and gain a ton of equity by Wisconsin being overwhelmingly likely to play for 3.

Wisconsin couldn't do anything in the air in this game. Make them score a touchdown.

Good coaches don’t make these decisions based on vibes. They know what they’re going to do in these situations before the game even starts. And Lanning was clearly correct here. He got a chance to win the game outright plus poor field position for Wisconsin if he fails plus he eliminated almost all outcomes where he loses in Regulation. It’s not just the likelihood of Wisconsin scoring a TD. It’s the rainbow of outcomes. This one really isn’t close.

How do you feel about him running a fake rather than just going for it in a typical manner?

I love that he did the right thing there and went for it. Just not positive I like the fake FG as a means to get there.

I would completely understand that complaint, but I would also leave open the possibility that they thought they saw something in Wisconsin’s FG play they could exploit. It’s impossible for us to know that.

That's not what happened though. They left it up to the field goal holder to make call on the fly.

If he was making the call, he leaves his Heisman finalist QB on the field.
