Ala v UA
« on: November 30, 2013, 08:11:15 PM »
What a finish.  Did the L just get sucked in on the play thinking nothing else was going to happen?  I know that the RO would have gotten an OB but C. Davis was tip-toeing down that sideline pretty tightly.

I saw that too.  Have to hope that F hustled over from under the upright, but have not seen a wide enough replay to see if he did in time.

Based on the two earlier touchdowns he overturned I'm surprised he didn't buzz and overturn that last play.

The returner didn't step out but it would have been a disaster had he done so. Nobody would have gotten it. Can replay bail them out in that situation?

On the final play. Anyone else see that player in the back field waving his hand back and forth? Could that have been considered a fair catch signal? while the ball was in flight.


I wouldnt have called just curious.

The call of the century would have been UNS for altering his stride at the 1.

  He was trying to distract the kicker and it seemed he stopped before ball was even kicked.

I thought the no call that might have changed the game was on the previous TD.   It looked to me like an offensive lineman was almost 5 yards downfield when the QB released the ball.

Seemed to me like he was trying to pump up the crowds and I don't think he was still doing it while the ball was in flight

Helmet to helmet is not a foul unless it rises to the level of targeting. Did it?

Don't know the college mechanic. Does the L crash on PAT's to help break up the scrum. This is common for the L or the H during PAT's so I thought he might have done this.

I'm thinking he crashed as you said, then found himself in no-man's land when the play unfolded.

That was the fullback.  The LG was about 3 yards downfield.

Could be the greatest finish to a game since "the band came on the field".

Or, at least according to Auburn fans, the Georgia game 2 weeks earlier.

Would have had an untimed down for that, correct? FG try from the 16?

What is your opinion of the hit? To me, yes, it was targeting.

Yep.  Would have been interesting.
