Looking for Another view of Final Play vs. Indiana

Submitted by IncrediblySTIFF on

So -- this is what I got from the B16 game film:

To me, it looks like Paige caught the pass, and then Hill got his hand in and knocked it out.  I don't think I'm going way out on a limb or breaking any ground here.  I was wondering if there are any other images/videos of this that we can immortalize.  Can anyone point me in the direction of something better than a play filmed from 100000 yards away mostly covered up by a scorebox?

 

Also, lets just take a moment to see how sad Paige is after that play.  Poor guy.  I wouldn't ever wish that sinking feeling on anyone, but better them than me (because obviously me, as a spectator, would have felt worse than he did if the outcome was reversed).

 

 

EDIT: updated title for more clarity

Not sure why the cameraman stayed focused on Paige after it hit the ground. Usually, especially on a game ending play, you follow the celebrating player. I would've liked to have seen Hill and the rest of the defense's reactions instead of sad Paige.

I also noticed after rewatching the last play several times, they never sent the RB out of the back field and left him in as an extra (and unused) blocker. The play was only a 2 receiver route to the right and had nothing else happening with Indiana's QB only ever looking to the right half of the field.

awful play design and execution.  obviously the decision to run or pass will be debated given their success running the rock - i can understand passing in that situation, just not that particular play.  

#2 receiver in the slot singled up on a safety should be a decent matchup for iu while #1 receivers on the outside both run fades (though #1 on the right appeared to run a lazy route) - hill made a great play though.  it did kind of remind me of dileo and gardner running and telegraphing some of those pivot routes hoke and borges tended to prefer.

they must really trust the slot and QB to execute in that situation considering they did not utilize rubs, release guys from a stack, etc which many teams opt for in that situation (at least when lacking a beast WR).  and a little surprised they did not run anyone to occupy the middle of field if the QBs only read whole way was 2 simple routes to the field side (one of which was a lazy fade), though maybe the slot had an in option but read out.  

only wilson and his guys know and im sure they have some regrets.  im just sure glad iu not only did not run the ball but opted for that weak call - great play from hill aside

I couldn't help but feel like this was IU's "Pete Carroll" moment. They had Michigan by the balls all night with their ground game, and they could've ridden Howard in for what likely would've been an easy score.

We couldn't do diddly poo to stop him all night. Why go away from what worked so well? Oh well, their loss is our gain.

I saw the same thing from Stribling on t.v. Looks like he was mad that he wasn't the one that made the play, although I'm sure that's not the case. I even had to rewind it a few times. Just looked like he didn't want to take part in the celebration. Was kinda odd.
