Saunders Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Rewatching the PSU game, and I noticed something on the Burkhead/Legate fumble. PSU never recovered the ball, and the ref signalled PSU ball before checking to see who actually had it. Ball is obviously not recovered. Yoshi has the ball (and came out with it). This resulted in a PSU TD when we were driving, and could have been at least a 10, if not 14 point swing. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Yeah, I thought so too. They were VERY QUICK to call that PSU ball (and very quick not to review the 3rd and long catch that was bobbled all the way out of bounds). I Tweeted Yoshi about it. He or one of the other players ended up Tweeting something mentioning that Yoshi got screwed out of a fumble recovery. Quote Link to comment
lionsfan93 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I'm not going to worry about it too much. The game is over, we won. No need to make a fuss out it you know. Quote Link to comment

Talking to other B1G fans, this type of thing seems to be very common, and it's going to bite us. Then you'll care. Quote Link to comment
Hercules Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 You're right. Yoshi definitely had the ball after the whistle, and there was a PSU player still fighting him for it even after the officials had already signaled PSU ball. Really poor officiating. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 That endzone shot with Burkhead on the ground and Legate rising up on the left - I believe if you look at the other angle, at about this time the line judge was already signalling that PSU had recovered the ball. Quote Link to comment

In the second shot, you can see the ref in the process of thrusting his right hand forward to signal PSU football when the ball is still clearly loose, underneath Yoshi's hip. Quote Link to comment
huskerscott Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Didnt the officals say that this call wasnt REVIEWABLE. Bo even tried to challenge it. Someday a call like this will bite us hard. Yea we won the game, but it couldve been difference between a win and loss, especially since we only won by 3. 1 Quote Link to comment

How could a fumble we recover, and the refs award to the other team, ever come back to bite us? Really, you need it explained? Nobody said "this particular fumble" would come back. But another one...... 1 Quote Link to comment

I think he was referring to similar calls that may be made in the future. Quote Link to comment
funhusker Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Sorry guys, According to the posted pic, Yoshi is nowhere close to IN CONTROL of that football. Secondly, I don't have the pic or video, but I remember a Penn State player coming away from the pile with the ball. (I'm not 100% certain, but close to it) Valid fumble, doesn't matter anyway...

Still, how is it that the official is signaling PSU ball at the instant that picture is taken? Quote Link to comment
Glendower Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Clearly the refs were part of 'the ring.' :-S Quote Link to comment
Glendower Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I was at a bar and was distracted ofr a second when this was going on. I was wanting a replay, but didn't see one, but it sure sounded shadey... "shadey" is putting it nicely. Quote Link to comment
