End of Wisconsin - Arizona State game

[HLin NC]

Can we lock this thing before the p!$$ fight really starts?

[asdf]

I gave you my position.

The powers that be will take care of it if they deem necessary.
The sun is still rising and setting.
Your team gave up almost 500 yards of offense.
Your team gave up 32 points.
You aren't getting any sympathy from many on here.
You'll continue to whine about it.

I'm done

I'd have been done awhile ago if people didn't keep making the same incorrect arguments to defend the indefensible.

Actually people here do not care either way. I am only in this conversation because it is entertaining.

Peace

1. It was an epically stupid play for the QB.
2. The video is completely inconclusive on whether or not his knee was down.
3. The R points down, but he seems to be the only one besides the QB who thought the QB was down.
4. The R seems to be trying to tell the U to put the ball down.
5. The U should have killed the clock if he thought B had recovered a fumble.
6. The U doesn't seem to know what the play result was.
7. By the time the U puts the ball down, there is not enough time to spike ball successfully.
8. What an idiotic play by the QB.

Not even close, IMO.

What consequence? It was a loose ball, and the ASU player reasonably thought it was a fumble. What punishment do you suggest? There's no rule that allows the clock to be stopped if this wasn't an actual fumble, though, so I'm honestly not sure what the officials should have done.

Whatever hbk thinks, I guess.

Seven seconds is well beyond a reasonable amount of time to release the ball. Should have been a defensive delay of game penalty.

And all caused by the stupid actions of Wisconsin and their QB.

Peace

Let's remember that opinions on the "stupidity" of this play (or the OP being a "fanboy") should be irrelevant to the discussion of the officiating of this play.

You have not been here very long have you?

This is where the relevance of whether you (or I) have ever worked FBS football comes into play. Given that there may have been confusion on the part of the ASU players whether it was a fumble (there seems to have been confusion from the umpire), I highly doubt NCAA supervisors want a flag on that.

But again, I don't work that level of football, and I have no access to the instructions they've been given on when to throw the DOG flag for this action and when they're supposed to give the player the benefit of the doubt.

Disagree, in so far as the stupidity of the play has an effect on how the officials can be expected to respond.
