His knee was absolutely not down. No idea what replay you were watching. He fell forward. That's all he had to do for a first down. Pretty obvious he got it.

Really obvious he was short.

The back angle where there is no depth perception? His knee was down and the. He was short. The 75 holding calls that were blown help nw anyway. Escaped and advanced.

His knee was definitely not down and I think he did get the 1st but as you said no depth perception on that one angle so we have no idea. I'm still wondering how they don't have a camera on the other side of the field.

You guys are both being ridiculous.

Only a homer would say that

With less than a yard to go I think he got it, there was a little surge at the end that should have got him what he needed.... but, even as a NU fan, I think its really hard to be indisputable on that call.

hopefully 0 or 1 loss SEC team and one of FSU,Clemson,Oregon,Stanford can run the table so we dont get to see another national title mismatch.

 

Wouldn't mind seeing Ohio St in the national title game if it means Nortwestern is in the Rose Bowl...Plus I like looking at the bright side with the whole "Well at least the lost was to the Nat'l champs" thought process.

Or all the refs and the replay official. Still wouldn't have won.

The play stood, it wasn't confirmed, they had no idea either.

The play was never confirmed so you are wrong again.

 

 

The line judge didn't even know. He started back beyond the first down, then inexplicably came in front of it at the last second for the spot. Didn't make sense. On ESPN.com they have an angle that shows he got it. Should put any doubt away.

That sucks.

Great amount of respect for what NW did tonight. Made the Bucks make mistakes and capitalized. Fitz needs to stay there for life.

Brutal beat at the end. I only lost 100 on it, but even Musburger touched on it (he clearly gambles). That last play made a lot of money change hands.

I -think- he got it, but no angle was indisputable. I thought the sideline judge running to the play from the top of the screen was all over the place when he ran onto the field, I had no idea where it was going to be spotted.

Yes, it looked like he clearly got it, but once the initial spot was made there was no way they were overturning it. It was a bad spot, but there's nothing you can do there. He probably shouldn't have challenged since there was no clear evidence that would have overturned it.

So much money changed hands on that Bosa TD at the end.

 

 

It also made OSU 280-0-1 when they score 35 points or more.

I think the near sideline judge convinced the the one with the good angle that he was down when he fumbled the snap. The running in made no sense otherwise.

Uh oh Washington.

I think you're right. One was running in for the spot and it was closer to the correct spot than the one given.

Stanford is flat out easy to root for

Dude, no.

 

And I'm an objective observer who cut the highlight for TV.

That's really not all that definitive.

The ball is on the ground...

Much easier with their asshat ex head coach in the NFL.

He doesn't have the ball yet. It's very clear on the replay that his knee is off the ground when he gains control of the ball.

Looks pretty secure there. Hand wrapped around ball, ball on ground, knee on ground.
