It would have a been a TD as a result of an official not blowing the play dead when forward progress was stopped.Again, what would have been the sentiment if Herron broke the initial tackle was able to get around the corner and then ran for a 99 yard TD or whatever

1) Who put the runner in the endzone? The defenders, the progress was the 2-yard line.
2) The reverse angle replay showed the Line Judge clearly comes onto the field at the 2-yard line with his hand raised (which is the same as a whistle for those of you fans who don’t understand the rules of the game) to start the play clock. He felt forward progress had been established and signalled it. He should have stepped up and saved the crew.
IMKO, It’s either dead at the 2 yard line or an inadvertent signal
FYI. A national poll among NCAA football officials on a message board has this at 72% incorrect call.
I am sure that we will be instructed via video on this call next year by Perry or Redding.

Therefore, his forward progress was stopped at the 2 yard line. Just because the inbred southern boy official didn't blow his whistle doesn't change that fact.

very similar play
He doesn't actually get wrapped up, but he does get forced back by the defender actually doing it.

Cleveland Buck;626963 wrote:In that play, McKnight's original progress was stopped at the 0:10 mark, but he starts moving forward again at the 0:12 mark, which means his forward progress on the play wasn't stopped at the 0:10 mark.

karen lotz;626971 wrote:Yeah he started moving forward after losing a couple of yards. Did he get back to where his initial forward progress stopped and where was he finally ruled down?
