I do

and I believe 100% that had it been a Wisconsin player making the same play, it would have stood.

What happened to his arm? It looked like a layer of skin got burned off

I thought the replay was clear he dropped it.

Yes he dropped the ball.

Yep. He caught it and clearly had control. It looked like he lost control when he was

A "football move" should be more than just falling to the ground.

Tricky

9/18/18 2:13pm

Honestly people who think it was a catch and fumble don't understand the rule

Adrielle

9/18/18 9:38am

Very clear that he dropped it, ball hit the ground and he never really had control.

BengalCougar

9/18/18 9:39am

Just playing devil's advocate. He had the ball firmly in two hands at one point.

GOR

Does anyone think his little push off was OPI?

Eddie

9/18/18 9:46am

That play tells me he WILL be a big time player. Yeah, he should have reeled it in, and I think he will in the future.

jdub

9/18/18 9:41am

Coach Chryst thought it was. He was livid at the no call.

TN_Coug

9/18/18 9:42am

As would BYU coaches and fans if roles were reversed. Good no call though.

Signed, BYU fan.

Usually not called unless the receiver fully extends his harms.

Freddie Cougar

Not enough to be called

It seemed kind of necessary to be able to get his hands up to catch the ball. If

Collie made a living in college (figuratively:) off of 'push offs' like that...

RICoug

9/18/18 2:55pm

All the great receivers use that technique. Austin Collie was the best!

BYU Folsom Fan

9/18/18 4:32pm

I’m pretty sure he bumped the ball with his own leg.

PJMort

9/18/18 9:42am

The initial problem is the ball got into his facemask as he was making the catch

fulano

9/18/18 9:56am

Granted...I watched the game on my phone at an airport but that's how it looked.

fulano

9/18/18 9:57am

Yes

SDcookie

9/18/18 9:43am

Those that think he caught it need to watch it in real speed and not just freeze

Ned Schneebly

9/18/18 9:53am

It wasn’t a catch

TunaNoCrust

9/18/18 10:02am

The only thing i think is that we should have hurried and snapped the ball.

ballen

9/18/18 10:03am

Yup. Cal burned us on that the week before but we need to be ready next time

fulano

9/18/18 10:11am

I was saying the same thing. Hurry, run a play. Right away.

Trent

9/18/18 11:27am

I was in the stadium and behind the play. It looked like a catch so i can see

ballen

Orem58thBall

9/18/18 7:43pm

I don't think it was indisputable, so the call on the field should stand.

HenderCoug

9/18/18 10:15am

Bingo, this is the answer.

Heavily MeDeekated

9/18/18 10:57am

Well, I do see people disputing it, so I guess that makes it indisputable...

BYUCLA

9/18/18 11:05am

Yes 100%

BigYfan

9/18/18 11:18am

It seems pretty indisputable to me. I was listening to the radio

kimdaddy35

9/18/18 11:42am

I would agree with this. I wasn't entirely sold that he didn't have control

archie

9/18/18 11:51am

This is my take on it as well

Big Papi

9/18/18 2:07pm

They had an angle they showed on TV that made it pretty obvious...

Eddie

9/18/18 3:07pm

And that may be. I was in the stadium, so I only saw what they showed on

Big Papi

9/18/18 9:52pm

I was pretty optimistic it would stand as a catch for the first 2-3 replays...

Eddie

9/19/18 8:35am

It was indisputable. I dont think there is any reasonable interpretation

LifeLongLakerFan

9/18/18 5:28pm

It was called a catch, it could go either way. It was not conclusive that

if you watch the slomo in slomo, he had control for a very long time

Hill4Heisman

9/18/18 2:09pm

If you watch it in real time, he didn't have control for very long at all. If you read the rules, as linked above,

9/18/18 3:15pm

Sure am, Zoey. Just as serious as all the other people on this thread who agree with me, the replay officials

jdub

9/18/18 3:21pm

So you didnt catch at all that he was joking? "watching the slomo in slomo"

Mr Blue

9/19/18 8:26am

Wasn’t a catch.

Gerald-DeGroot

Obvious incompletion. I was surprised they spent so long on the review.

It's actually evident that he did catch the ball, then coughed it up. I also
