There's plenty of time

and plenty of Stanziballs left to go.

But I do think Northwestern is going to get lit up this game. Their offense is far too one-dimensional to move against Iowa.

That would be a great upset. Would help our SOS.

Oh, and Pitt would lose. That’d be cool

In all seriousness, I don't see how that is a catch for UM.

It seems more than a little ridiculous.

looked like the right call to me.

Defender needs to have possession all the way to the ground. He didn’t, and as long as the ball never hits the ground if the offensive player gets it the pass is complete.

by PSUinBOSSton on Nov 7, 2009 12:16 PM EST up reply actions  

Didn't he have his back on the ground with two hands around the ball?

Somehow, possession rules have changed since I was a kid

It used to be you hit the ground, you had the ball, its a catch. Now I see people catch balls, hit the ground, roll over, ball pops out after like 3 seconds of holding it, no catch.

by chocochuck02 on Nov 7, 2009 12:18 PM EST up reply actions  

I didn't think the defender ever had possession.

Roundtree and the defender each had an arm around the ball.

by PSUinBOSSton on Nov 7, 2009 12:19 PM EST up reply actions  

Defender had two hands on the ball...

Receiver had one hand in there…that’s it.

by NoLimitLion1 on Nov 7, 2009 12:20 PM EST up reply actions  

The each had one arm around it firmly,

and another hand over it. Didn’t look to me like either player had full possession until the Purdue player let it go.

by PSUinBOSSton on Nov 7, 2009 12:22 PM EST up reply actions  

Seriously...

Purdue had possession of the ball with his back on the ground. That’s a catch and an INT.

by NoLimitLion1 on Nov 7, 2009 12:17 PM EST up reply actions  

MINOR RAGE.

Great run. Sportscenter highlight tonight.

Every game their team just looks completely confused on what the heck they are supposed to be doing.

Stanzi!

Evening out his TD/Int ratio, as expected.

Hoo, crap.

Stanzi fumble, TD northwestern, Stanzi hurt.

Love how they always just come out of a commercial halfway through their own sideline reporter’s report and after we’ve somehow lost two downs of play.

Bad coaching by Ferentz

That backup QB is probably freaking out, and Ferentz just let him make a mistake that might rattle him for the rest of the game. Tressel wouldn’t have let him throw there.

by gumbercules on Nov 7, 2009 12:58 PM EST reply actions  

Haha, Tressel would let him throw bubble screens all day.
