Here is the NCAA Rule.....three steps will ball secured sure seems like it would fall within the definition of a catch.....he was trying to avoid the defender

To catch a ball means that a player: 1. Secures firm control with the hand(s) or arm(s) of a live ball in flight before the ball touches the ground, and 2. Touches the ground in bounds with any part of his body, and then 3. Maintains control of the ball long enough to enable him to perform an act common to the game, i.e., long enough to pitch or hand the ball, advance it, avoid or ward off an opponent, etc., and 4. Satisfies paragraphs b, c, and d below. b.

Could be. Most likely their response would be that 3 was not achieved. He didn’t advance the ball, and clearly didn’t avoid or ward off an opponent as he dropped the ball.

but but but... the refs said it wasn't a catch

 

[jimmymo]

Day needs a wheelbarrell for his balls

 

[gps_3]

I do too but just thinking of matchups...

They’re going to have to turn LSU over. And be able to score with them. Will be tough

 

[Big_Degenerate]

Ball game?

 

[B.A.R.]

Gutsy play

 

[Frank Costanza]

YES

 

[Big_Degenerate]

Boom!

 

[mrpickem]

:siren::siren::siren:

 

[Big_Degenerate]

Fuck yes!

 

[B.A.R.]

I just cannot wait for Etienne or hopefully healthy Dobbins props...

 

[Frank Costanza]

No 2 there?

 

[braves]

No 2 there?

that’s what I was thinking

 

[Big_Degenerate]

No 2 there?

They have +2.5..

 

[jedi ninja]

but but but... the refs said it wasn't a catch

Again, you can say it all you want...but that comment was ONLY in response to you saying it was because I said it wasn’t. You tried to be snarky and got it back. Move on.

Yup

Can't coach math

 

[pb278817]

Start a new thread to discuss the catch/no catch call

 

[cogenman]

Wow go for two. You miss it, a FG still beats you. Get it and it helps protect a Clemson FG.

 

[pressitup]

Can't coach math

 

[gps_3]

LSU has played a better offense than either of these teams, and possibly a better defense, but not a team that has both. OSU nor Clemson has played anything close to the LSU offense. Should be fun

 

[takeit]

yes. that kick made no sense.

 

[Frank Costanza]

felt like a no brainer in 4Q

 

[B.A.R.]

Start a new thread to discuss the catch/no catch call

Can we discuss not going for 2 in here or elsewhere?

 

[Frank Costanza]

Can we discuss not going for 2 in here or elsewhere?

no shit

 

[pb278817]

Can we discuss not going for 2 in here or elsewhere?

May as well do it here for the rest of the game

 

[PNGFROM2003]

JUST as I was going to say this play calling has been horrific Fields makes a sweet TD pass down 5 on 4th and 3.5 from the opponents 20. No denying this is a different brand of football. A great game indeed but I do feel the Zebras have made a game altering call or 3. OSU needs to continue to dominate with its DL if it want to win this game.

 

[cogenman]

4th quarter too. Wow. Almost hope Clemson kicks a FG and wins by one just to wake these dumb coaches up.

 

[Frank Costanza]

Come on Bucks

 

[Big_Degenerate]

This tOSU defense needs to prove their worth

 

[B.A.R.]

Look at Denard there...

 

[Big_Degenerate]

Sunshine should not be running like that

 

[Frank Costanza]

Can't believe Day kicked that.

 

[Frank Costanza]

Nope

 

[jimmymo]

Buckeyes just laying the lumber.......

 

[PNGFROM2003]

I have parlays depending on Clemson -2, OSU +3 and OSU +4. While not going for 2 is borderline insanity I’ll just lean OSUs D for now. OSU D making a difference last couple drives. One more time!!!!

 

[Frank Costanza]

Helluva game

 

[pb278817]

Clemson getting beat up

 

[jedi ninja]

Can we discuss not going for 2 in here or elsewhere?

For sure. The only thing I can think is they’re thinking of Clemson scores a TD, they can go up 7 with a 2pt conversion of their own down 1. This way they only go up 5. It’s horrible logic, and it’s doubtful they thought that hard about it, but I’m trying to figure out why else they would kick the XP.

Regardless of who faces LSU, they are going to be beat up. True cost of this matchup

 

[pressitup]

long game

To some extent. 16 days is a long time to get well.

 

[Frank Costanza]

Day going to go deep here.

 

[cogenman]

Long lay-off though until the national championship game to heal up

 

[mrpickem]

Under seems tight...tiiieeet

 

[jedi ninja]

Regardless of who faces LSU, they are going to be beat up. True cost of this matchup

With 2 weeks off, this matchup won’t play as much of a factor as LSU just being better than either of these teams.

When the going gets tough, tough people last.

Lsu hasn't had a get beat the fuck up game all year.

Luckily that game isn't for 16 freakin days
