  • They were left off because of the 10 minute limit. If you want to see it, watch it on ESPN360 and jump to 3:10:15 and 3:10:50. Possession was never established.

  • No, the rule clearly states that the ground cannot cause a fumble. A receiver has to have control of the ball all the way through the ground in order to establish possession if he hasn't already done so with his feet.

  • @NUBears If you have the footage of the angles, please post them. I get the feeling that you purposefully left them out because you know that the call was wrong and don't want to supply the evidence that proves it.

  • @NUBears That is just it. If he has possession when his elbow hit the ground, he should be ruled down regardless if the ball came out after his elbow hit. Any part of the body on the ground besides a foot or hand rules a player down in college. Terrible, terrible call.

  • @vap420

    and you know this how exactly? it was entirely possible to score a TD it's just too bad it ended on a BS call so we'll never know for sure.

  • Illinois wasnt going 70 more yards with 32 seconds left

  • Could you add those replay angles to this highlight reel so we can form our own opinions?

  • wisconsin next week!

  • It was pretty clearly the right call. Two replay angles showed that the receiver lost control of the ball immediately once his left elbow hit the ground. He never had possession.

  • It feel great to deny Illinois a bowl bid yet again.
