2009 IHSAA Football 5A State Finals - Carmel vs. Warren Central - End of Game

Wen to this game with my daughter and her friends - we almost gave up and left but went back inside when someone coming out said it was tied. Great game! Go Warriors!

It seems like he was going to land out of bounds!

Clearly out of bound. Fast forward to the 4:00 min mark. The receiver was running to the side line; not jumping vertically. The momentum was horizontal. His own momentum carried him out of bounds. There was not enough contact to push anyone out of boudns. The Carmel players right arm doesn't even contact the receiver until he's out of bounds and left arm doesn't either. Finally, it is not even certain the WC player could have even caught the ball in bounds based on where the ball was thrown

As an un-bias opinion (from neither WC nor Carmel), I would say that he was gonna be out of bounds by himself, no TD. However, it did look like pass interference. His hand was in his face, and made contact with the receiver before the ball got to him.

...whew, I guess that's why I wouldn't ever want to be a ref! ....Sounded like a great game! 2 OT - Can't ask for much more! Good game to everyone.

Great game. Thanks for posting. The TD call was iffy, but probably should have been interference. Fun to watch again.
