Get me a video of the block in the back and i will comment. Different crews all call that differently. I watched some lame game yesterday where a defender just got BLASTED in the back in front of a ref and it wasn't called.

He ran up to him and saw his back turned to him and then did nothing more than throw his arms up as if to say "I didn't touch him"......and then they flag him. Complete bullshit. The game tying TD was reviewed on College Football Final and Rece Davis and Mark May said the receiver went out of bounds on his own so it should not have counted. They were right after seeing the replay. Two big blown calls.

But again, ND shouldn't have been in a position where those calls cost them the game. At least, that's what Bucci always said at Mooney.

sherm03;490201 wrote:The worst part about the block in the back was the fact that the ref right on top of the play didn't throw the flag. The flag came in way late all the way from the sidelines.

killer_ewok;490219 wrote:I get that. NOTHING can change the result now. I guess the thing is.....I'll never be convinced that ND didn't get screwed last night but they could've played better to avoid that and it's a loss and it's not going to be overturned. It's over and done with....but I can't be convinced that the correct calls were made on those 3 plays. Whatever. It's Stanford week.

ytownfootball;490234 wrote:ewok, I think you need to take solace in the assumption that it may not be their last loss and it wasn't their first. They're better I believe but Rome wasn't built in a day. The Purdue loss hurt us worse, we might have been going to the title game had that not happened. It could be worse. All perspective I guess.

sherm03;490225 wrote:I agree with you killer. Those three calls were complete bullshit and I don't care what the Big East officials have said. They got boned, but we can't change that. Let's hope we can get a Stanford upset!

about the 9:40 mark

The back judge is looking directly at the play, doesn't throw the flag, it comes from behind the play.
