cm husker Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think it was a poor call from a judgment perspective (I would be pissed if that was called against a NU db who was in good position like that). BUT, bad calls even out and who's to say NU wouldn't have connected on the next play. In the pantheon of questionable calls, this one ranks pretty low. 1 Quote Link to comment
txschutte Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 And let's not forget how MSU was simulating our snap signal and it never got called that game. What goes around comes around.what? The hand clap last year Because of this, not a single red fark was given in that stadium. Quote Link to comment
Husker Psycho Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 From the Omaha (OWH) paper... "Another week, it looks like another officiating blunder in college football. The Big Ten said Sunday that officials used the proper mechanics to indicate a Nebraska player stepped out of bounds and returned to the field before catching the winning touchdown pass against Michigan State on Saturday night The conference, however, didn’t say whether the officials’ determination that Brandon Reilly was forced out of bounds — and thus able to come back inbounds and make a legal catch — was right." Not taking sides in this... just adding clarity. lol Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Worst call of the season. Umm... Miami-Duke? 2 Quote Link to comment
dergibog Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 The rule doesn't say pushed out, it says forced out. I'm guessing the pass pattern on the play in the playbook doesn't show the receiver going out of bounds and then coming back in. The db forced Reilly out of bounds but he came back in. A receiver loses his eligibility by leaving the field of play unless he was forced out by a defensive player and immediately attempts to get back inbounds (Rule 7-3-4). By the way, this was a second down play. If they call the pass incomplete, we still have 17 seconds and at least two plays to get the touchdown. Quote Link to comment
cm husker Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 The counter argument to "forced out" is that a DB has a right to a spot on the field; if the WR wants around the DB, he can fight inside (legal) or go out of bounds (illegal). That was a pretty tough position to put a DB in because he's "feeling" the WR in that situation, not riding him or forcing him out of bounds. Quote Link to comment
soup Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Why are we still talking about this again? It has been put to rest by MULTIPLE sources, and it went in our favor. We as Husker fans really will bitch about anything. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kernal Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Whether or not Riley was "forced" out by contact with the DB was a judgment call, just like the un-flagged Pass Interference on Alonzo Moore was a judgment call. I happen to think the DB intentionally guided Reilly to the sideline to force him out, so to me that was a reasonable call. But even if you don't think so, the call was no less reasonable than some of the non-calls for PI in this game. I hope Stewart and Banker are teaching our DBs to direct opposing WRs out of bounds like MSU DBs. If any of our local media happen to be reading this post please ask if this is something they teach.

knapplc Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 THE RULE DOES NOT SAY FORCED OUT The rule has been posted in this thread more than once. If you are too lazy to look for it, that's on you. But stop with the misinformation. Note - if you find a rule that says "forced out," you're using an outdated version of the rule. Look up the 2015 rule. 6 Quote Link to comment
Bigred_inSD Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 This is just another example of were football is heading. WR's are getting the benefit of the doubt on almost everything, they are untouchable after 5 yards, yet they run pick routes almost every play. Quote Link to comment

Look up the 2015 rule. I think we will see some rules clarification during the off season because of this play. That's the way the rule has always been officiated in the past... otherwise any receiver would be able to run up to a defensive back... tap him on the helmet and then run out of bounds... behind the bench and then re-enter the field whenever and wherever he feels like it. Contact would have occurred by the receiver... not the DB... but who cares... contact occurred. That obviously was not the way the rule was intended... and has never that I can remember been officiated that way. There has to be some "blame" assigned... and there always has been... otherwise the rule is worthless... which it appears now that it is. ALL judgment calls should be reviewable... for exactly this reason... because the "judgment" of officials is often wrong. We won the game... great for us. We've had many "judgement" calls go against us in the past. GBR Quote Link to comment
WhatDoIKnow Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Ugh. espn.com story about bad calls this season, and of course they get it wrong. Link On Saturday night, Michigan State's hopes of running the table were dashed by Nebraska, and a TD catch was made by a receiver who had run out of bounds and back in to make the grab. Whether he was pushed or not had to be reviewed ... and reviewed again. Ultimately, he was ruled to have been shoved and the call stood. The Big Ten office backed the call Sunday night.

Thanks_Tom RR Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 THE RULE DOES NOT SAY FORCED OUT The rule has been posted in this thread more than once. If you are too lazy to look for it, that's on you. But stop with the misinformation. Note - if you find a rule that says "forced out," you're using an outdated version of the rule. Look up the 2015 rule. Here is the rule. http://www.ncaapublications.com/productdownloads/FR15.pdf Eligibility Lost by Going Out of BoundsARTICLE 4 No eligible offensive receiver who goes out of bounds and returns in bounds during a down shall touch a legal forward pass while in the field of play or end zones or while airborne until it has been touched by an opponent or official (A.R. 7-3-4-I, II and IV). [Exception: This does not apply to an originally eligible offensive player who immediately returns inbounds after going out of bounds due to contact by an opponent (A.R. 7-3-4-III)]. There clearly was contact by the Michigan St defender, which was ruled to be the reason Reilly went out of bounds. Bottom line, Nebraska won! Let's Enjoy and get ready for Rutgers. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rochelobe Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Some fan in the north end zone posted this view of the play. Looks like contact took place. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O5eSY3YDok 2 Quote Link to comment
