I'm not too worried about DL since that is where the depth is. More worried about center, WR, TE, and safety unless Gordon makes some progress.WebFire;1037988 wrote:DL is a concern, but they also have a lot coming back.

With local Arkansas in the game. An SEC team would ~10,000 extra tickets sold.wildcats20;1038004 wrote:I don't disagree with you, but it was played on Jan 4 last year. A Tuesday and the attendance was 73,879.

Dennis Dodd tweeted that it was the 1st Sugar Bowl since 1945 without a top 10 ranked team, so maybe the lack of hype played into the ticket sales as well.

Not much. Just wondered why it wasn't a false start.bigkahuna;1038006 wrote:What are they saying? I'm checking some other scores on SC.

Didn't watch the game, but saw a replay of the overturned catch. Looked like a catch to me, just because the ball didn't look like it moved. I don't know though...too close to call.

Wasn't this the same replay official from the Syracuse/Toledo game that ruled the Orange extra point good?wes_mantooth;1038094 wrote:Didn't watch the game, but saw a replay of the overturned catch.

UM was..."fortunate" to win this one 377-184 total yards, Denard 9/21, 13 carries 13 yards, questionable calls regarding the TD, fortunate indeed.

The "catch" however by the VA tech player was pretty obvious the ground helped

No, he didn't.WebFire;1037955 wrote:If he wouldn't have bobbled, it's a catch. I honestly don't think he had control when he hit the white.
It was a catch, and you both know it. It wasn't pretty, but a win is a win, so congrats to the skunkbears. I'm already looking forward to 11/24/12.

That was my assessment, the ball didn't move... Plus they called it a catch on the field. Vegas must've made the call

It looked to me like he caught it cleanly and his elbow came down in the end zone prior to any part of him touching out of bounds. It didn't appear to me that the ground assisted him in catching or maintaining control of the ball.
But I'm not the replay official....so it doesn't matter.

I thought the ball moved, but I didn't think anything was indisputable. I didn't think they'd overturn it, and if they had ruled in incomplete on the field I also didn't think they'd overturn it.

I thought he caught it, but when he actually had control he had already hit the white stuff.killer_ewok;1038120 wrote:It looked to me like he caught it cleanly and his elbow came down in the end zone prior to any part of him touching out of bounds.

One ESPN guy had a good point last night, of the difference between 2011 Michigan and 2010 Michigan. 2010, if you held Michigan to under 200 yards, they had no chance to win. 2011, hold them under 200 in a bowl game and they found a way to win.ytownfootball;1038113 wrote:UM was..."fortunate" to win this one 377-184 total yards, Denard 9/21, 13 carries 13 yards, questionable calls regarding the TD, fortunate indeed.

This game hurt more than watching the Bucks go down. scUM has found a way to win tight games again and that worries me.

FYI - the field goal attempt that looked like it could have been a fake or muffed FG was indeed a called fake FG, but not everyone heard the call.

The point of the ball hit the ground and you could see the ball move...no catch. I would think that the officials who know the rules and got an extra few looks at it would know that they made the right call.

Still doesn't clear up why linemen were down field.
