I was listening on the radio on the way to my show. The announcers were from the Stanford feed and they were furious. It made me laugh pretty hard.

That call could easily have gone either way. It's easy to say it when the call goes your teams' way, but it's the truth. And the bottom line is, Stanford had four plays from inside the Irish 5, and two of those plays from inside the 1. In that type of position, you can't leave doubt. You can't put yourself in a position where it comes down to a call from the officials.

I wouldn't say the call was wrong. But I wouldn't say the call was right. It could have gone either way. And there were going to be people pissed off no matter what happened. I'm just glad that I'm not on the pissed off side.

The facts are that Notre Dame was ahead seven points anyway and had Stanford scored somehow there, they would've had to turn around and try to do it again (good luck) with ND taking the advantageous position in the second overtime of having the ball second. Likely story in that case? SAME RESULT
