Change of Possession

[JustMy2Cents]

TXMike,

At some point in a game, the next play LITERALLY decides the game, because it is the last play...which is what I purport was the circumstance in the NC game last year.

If there is a foul, there literally is another play. If there is no foul, there literally is not another play. Therefore, that foul determined the outcome of the game.

One possible outcome: no foul, Miami wins, game over, see ya next year.

The other: foul, there is at least one more play.

Maybe it's semantics, maybe I am just bullheaded, maybe I am ignorant, but in this instance, in that particular game, one play did decide whether the game was over, with one team winning or not.
