Ok i've seen this comment on here as well as the article linked in the OP.  How is that not "certain possesion"?   The guy was running with the ball and then pitched it.  Its the same as if a quarterback is running the option and his knee goes down before the ball is completely out of his hand for the pitch.  Or if his knee goes down before he gets the throw off.   That play is dead right there and thats a pretty common sense call that should have been made.  Especially during a 10 minute replay.

From just that picture (and I haven't seen the video in slo-mo) I can't say with certainty that the ball is in his and he possesses it. Maybe with a few frames before to see exactly where his knee I could but not with that one image.

 

That being the base if he wasn't ruled down on the field I wouldn't be able to overturn it.

Now maybe the media will stop playing the fucking Sparty Fluke every time they get a chance.  I am hoping that the Miami Miracle or whatever they are going to call it will now be "THE" play to show instead of a Michigan play that is two weeks old and still getting played into the grouind.

for a block in the back, call was overturned for the touchdown.  The crazy thing was the laterals all took place inside of Miami's 25 yard line it looked like.

Thought the play was suppose to be called dead if a helmet is removed. A Miami player is seen running down the field clearly before he crossed the goal line carrying his helmet. Obviously if he was from the sideline that should be a penalty

Should not have counted. Two block in the backs and too many men on the field. Oh well does not affect me in any way.

In the back and one they was glaring. Refs should no longer be permitted to call college games. Send them back to high school.

The state of reffing in CFB is dismal.

Didn't see anything but this last play, but Miami had a program-record 23 penalties for 194 yards in that game. Who knows how many of those were good calls, but based on college football refs, I'm going to guess they blew at least a couple of them. So I'm not going to get to worked up over a block in the back (or not) on this last play -- Duke had a good 10-15 seconds to attach the ball, but the hung back like they were just hoping Miami would fall over. Go get the ball carrier -- it's the last play!

Pretty sweet how the refs just made up a bunch of crap so they could hand the game to Miami. All those refs should be fired. That was an absolute disgrace.

Michigan vs MSU game...

Those refs in our game were horrible as well. Multiple missed calls, bullshit targeting, bullshit unnecessary roughness, they missed multiple calls in that game, the punt had at least 2 violations by MSU and didn't call the offsides, overloading or the bowling of the center.

I'm getting sick of these refs
