Yeah, I remember Michigan/Appalachian State a couple of years ago... MU ranked #5.It would have been ONE of the biggest. Depends whose eyes are looking at it. Probably greatest upset in Husker history.Very close to being the greatest upset in the history of college football.
I'm GLAD that did not happen to us.
Though I was as scared on Saturday as I was back in 2005 vs. Maine.
Completely agree on both.Appy State was the best FCS team, better than half of the BCS. The real upset that year was Stanford over USC, probably the biggest ever, at least in my book.
His momentum was stopped and the ball was tucked in. Thats where his progressed ended for the spot. He reached out after that. Then pushed back. Plus the replay angle you saw (we saw) was not directly over the goal line. But it was enough a view to make ppl question it. Have no idea when whistle was blown. Do you give him the touch because of second effort or do you call it dead from actual progress. Refs suck, but they do have tough calls to make and that prolly could have gone either way.Trouble, I'm referring to the RB holding the ball over the goalline.
Blocking below the waist: Blatant and legit call. Ball crossed the goal line AFTER his knee was down. They threw ONE FLAG for holding when Pierre Allen was held almost every play, not to mention the other D-linemen. Blatant horse collar on Martinez wasn't called when we normally get one of those called against us in every game.
Officials stank it up against us, as usual. Does it excuse our poor play and not burying the Rabbits from the beginning to the end? No. But to say that the zebras cost SDSU the game is ludicrous.
Ya, the ball should've definitely went out to the 20.They showed the play where the knee was ruled down several times on TV and it MIGHT have been a TD but there wasn't enough evidence to overrule the call on the field. I think it was the right call given the circumstances of the rule. Had it been ruled a TD on the field I think that would have been upheld as well. It was inconclusive.
The block below the waist was legit as others have posted.
I thought we got screwed on the INT where we were given the ball on the 1 instead of as a touchback.
