Dumb cal running back icing the game for Cal drops ball at half yard line to go up 14.

How many times does this happen .

Not sure why cal gets it back.

 

[biggunsbob]

Saying no immediate recovery by anyone which is ridclues cause Texas player did touch it in the end zone as it was spinning around .

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

That Hansen kid is really good. I noticed him against Hawaii and he was just running by everyone.

When was the last time Western, Central, Michigan and MSU were all undefeated 3 weeks into the season? I'm guessing it's the first.

Texas player picks it up. Should have been Texas' ball at the 20yrd line. "No immediate recovery"? Bullshit. Bad call by the refs. And who was the ref that called it a TD? That guy should be reprimanded for that. He dropped it at the 1, ball wasn't even close to crossing the goal line.

 

[biggunsbob]

I agree it was a bad call. Werid refs were from the big 12. The replay both was pac 12.

Here is the dummy dropping the ball.

CMU will be on the road next week at Virginia... and I would imagine they have to be favored. Which is just so weird to think about.

At first, I thought it was a horrible call, but the more I've seen the replay, the more I'm convinced it was the correct call. The Texas player that picked it up didn't really pick it up to recover the ball. It was more of a courtesy, picking it up and giving it to the refs.

It's true that he picked it up before anybody else, but it wasn't an immediate attempt at a recovery. How do you give Texas the ball in that situation when a player was just trying to give the ball to the ref? Either way, the call would have been controversial.

If the Texas player had fallen on it and jumped around excitedly, I believe the refs would have given them the ball. Instead, he looked dejected, picked it up and handed it to the ref. This is why they didn't give him the ball. I haven't seen any expert commentary on this or even replays after the game was over, so maybe I'm missing something, but everything I saw during the game makes me think it was a correct call.

In any case, players need to stop doing this. My own rule is to go into the end zone, turn around and then you can drop the ball. It's not too difficult of a concept. When you're at the point of turning around or being mobbed by teammates, you're safe.

happened in the Oklahoma vs OSU game too. OK kick return for a TD and he dropped the ball at the 1 yard line.

If the whistle doesn't blow it's a live ball, no? Even if the Texas player didn't know exactly what was happening, a presumably live ball wound up in his hands.

If that is the case, and he didn't go down in the endzone, he fumbled to the ref, no?

Thus, should have been a touchback and Texas ball. Even though, Im glad THAT didnt happen.
