get the PAT blocked and then Washington complains.

Took me 5 minutes just to find the ball because it is so low. My 4'11" wife could have blocked that kick. Surely that is not the normal trajectory of a PAT kick?

My favorite part of the fallout from that penalty call and PAT block

I hope Zach launches the ball into the stands after a game-winning TD

It comes down to this: a Division I team should be able to kick a 35-yard FG

The national whining about that penalty was ridiculous.

Educate me, please. What was the penalty for?......offsides on BYU?

Celebration after the TD. Locker threw the ball in the air

Which caused them to have to attempt a 35 yard PAT, which was blocked

Exactly, and fans blamed the longer distance for lowering the trajectory

I believe Washington was going to go for 2

Do you have a link to a player or coach saying that? I have never heard that.

Not the case. Willingham indicated they were going for 1 (see video):

No wonder the rest of the country was so pissed - Those announcers were terrible

My mistake. For some reason I remember him holding up 2 fingers

He was saying "peace, out"

Without all the whining, I don't think 59-0 against Ucla happens the next week

You all realize UW was 0-12 that year?

They played 3 ranked teams and then lost Jake Locker for the season

That might be the worst call with a huge impact on the final score that I

davidmj10

9/19/19 12:28pm

Based on the actual rule book, it had to be called.

mcnasty

9/19/19 12:29pm

I know it is the rule but it is a stupid one. I never see that called and it

davidmj10

9/19/19 12:43pm

He threw it like 25 feet in the air. They would call that every time.

Mrs Featerbottom

9/19/19 1:15pm

I've never seen anyone throw the ball that high and not get called for it.

mcnasty

9/19/19 3:54pm

Agreed

Mrs Featerbottom

9/19/19 4:10pm

Then it's the worst RULE, not the worst CALL, right?

Wadds

9/19/19 2:57pm

Right call, and no impact on the score anyway.

All-American

9/19/19 12:48pm

I was there too, worse was the non-call on the obvious holding

Gregoreo

What was the impact on the final score? There was no impact at all.
