The last int
Was anyone else surprised by the result of the review on that? He was clearly down when the ball came out. Seemed pretty clear from multiple angles and yet the mighty mwc officials get it wrong. Maybe it didn't matter in the big scheme of things but them having the ball close to midfield with 10 seconds left would've at least given them a chance. If the shoe was on the other foot (which it send like it usually is with these reviews) I'm sure we'd all be upset.

Re: The last int
Couldn’t agree more. Maybe I don’t understand the rule but he took 3-4 steps after the catch and was on the ground when the ball came loose. In the YBU game we did the same thing and it almost cost us a FG. If they would have called it a catch they wouldn’t have had time to run the FG unit on the field.YouEssYou wrote: ↑October 17th, 2021, 7:50 amWas anyone else surprised by the result of the review on that?

Re: The last int
Was it actually ruled an INT? If so, that might be the main reason it was such a tough call. I think had it been ruled a fumble the receiver is obviously down. Weird call in my opinion.

Re: The last int
Yeah, they ruled he never had everything needed to call it a catch. So he can't be ruled down, and since the ball didn't touch the ground, it's a live ball, picked by Bond.CaptainChaos wrote: ↑October 17th, 2021, 8:10 amWas it actually ruled an INT?

I think it was clearly a catch and he was down, but that's me.

Re: The last int
The question isn't whether he was down, the question is did he secure the ball sufficient enough prior to going down that he didn't need to secure the ball through the ground. If he made the catch then he's down. If he was in the process of making the catch then he has to control the ball "throughout the process of contracting the ground".

Re: The last int
I think the implication of the call was that had USU not caught the ball, it would have been ruled an incomplete pass. I'm not sure the rules in college today, but at one point in the NFL you had to complete the catch all the way through to the ground without it popping out at the end. They had big controversy over it for a few years.

I agree- it was a blown call. USU has had their fair share of crap calls over he years. They still would have needed another 25 yards and a field goal with their 3rd string qb running the hurry up. I still don’t think it would have mattered.brownjeans wrote:Yeah, they ruled he never had everything needed to call it a catch.

UNLV fans should be more concerned with why they abandoned the run game on us. The run game was clearly working and they had the lead and the ball multiple times late in the game.

They were down 4. Field goal wouldn't have done them any good. They needed a touchdown

Re: The last int
In order to be a catch it has to be secured throughout the catch. If no one was there it would have been ruled an incomplete pass. He didn't secure the catch through the ground. Same thing if he made the catch then hits the ground and a moment later the ball pops out. Incomplete pass. He was still in the process of the catch so it was either an incomplete pass by pass break up or an interception. Could never be a fumble because he never finished the catch and made a football move.

Re: The last int
What constitutes a football move? He took 4 steps after the catch and then fell on his behind and rolled over to his backside before it was jarred loose.Bybs25 wrote: ↑October 17th, 2021, 8:48 amIn order to be a catch it has to be secured throughout the catch.

Re: The last int
Would have got them close enough for a hail mary, potentially.
I was also really surprised that they overturned the call and gave McGriff the catch. I thought he probably caught it but in TV, never saw an angle that gave a great view of it.
Happy that for once calls went the Aggie's way

Re: The last int
After watching the footage the officials CONFIRMED the call. They saw why you did and clearly came to a different conclusion because he didn’t control the ball to the ground. The rules have gotten pretty tricky lately but it was the right call. Doesn’t mean fans have to like it but it was right same goes with the targeting call. I didn’t like it but it was right. I don’t like how granular things are getting. It’s like you have to have a Lawyer to understand some of these new rules. Enough already!Elkaggie wrote: ↑October 17th, 2021, 8:52 amWhat constitutes a football move?

Is there a good replay of this play anywhere? I only saw it a couple times on the big board in the stadium.

Re: The last int
Please explain for those of us that watched the numerous replays which clearly showed him down. Even the announcers were surprised at the result of the review.

Re: The last int
The refs "confirmed" the call as an interception. They didn't just let the call stand, which can only mean he hadn't completed the catch enough to be called down. If the Aggies had not been there to rip it out and he had held on through the ground it would have been a catch, but he didn't and so it was ruled an interception. It would have been ruled a fumble if he had completed the catch, instead of an interception, but he would then have been down instead of the fumble. That's the explanation. Whether or not it was a completed catch is another issue all together.

Re: The last int
It is explained clearly several times in this thread. If we had not caught it it would have been incomplete, not a catch then down. That is what they called and confirmed.

Re: The last int
I thought the one announcer was pretty homerish, but I was also confused by the call. I do see how the rules may interpret it the way they did especially with it being an interception and not a fumble. The announcers should have done a better job of providing unbiased explanations.

Here's your explanation.

Re: The last int
My initial thought was that UNLV challenged the call of an interception. Would it have resulted in a different call if they would have challenged the player was down before the ball came loose? Do the replay officials only look at what is being challenged or the entirety of the play?

Re: The last int
I thought it was a catch, and he was down. I was thinking the only way they confirm the call is if they saw the ball moving or starting to come out before he went down.

Re: The last int
Hard to tell if it was the right call or not, but if he had control of the ball he was moving it around a lot and that didn't help his cause. It's hard to tell from the replay that I'm watching, but when our boy Gilliam gets his hand on the ball it looks like it is breaking loose and their guy brings his other hand over to secure the ball because he knows it is going to get knocked out. Considering the call on the field, I think it was the right call.

Re: The last int
Catches get ruled incomplete all the time because the ball pops out after a knee or hip hits the ground. That's what I chalked that call up to.

Re: The last int
My take that the call makes no difference in reality since time was getting close to 0 seconds with UNLV zero offense. It is long overdue to have a questionable call go our way. It was the funniest INT that I have seen (it looked like something from a comedy).

Re: The last int
From unlv’s perspective it is a very big call. Yes they needed a touchdown but you can’t score a touchdown if you don’t have the ball, with seconds left and no timeouts remaining.
With the ball it’s “so you’re telling me there’s a chance”

Re: The last int
I give credit to Bond on that INT. Look at the replay, Bond is in on the tackle of the receiver and as a result goes down to the ground. Rather than lay there and think he's done his job, he jumps up and is there just in time to dive for the INT. Great hustle by Bond. I know the ball hitting the ground would have given us the ball farther up the field but if he is willing to hustle on a play like that at the end of the game I know he is working hard the entire game.SLB wrote: ↑October 18th, 2021, 1:04 amMy take that the call makes no difference in reality since time was getting close to 0 seconds with UNLV zero offense.
