  • It actually was ILLEGAL. So much so that the back judge was disciplined for not stopping it and not flagging it. What he did is considered an "invalid fair catch signal". Such a signal has the same effect as a valid signal, i.e. ball is dead when possessed but the returner does not get fair catch protection.

  • And your coach waa wrong...A player can be flagged for a late hit even if there was no whistle, i.e. runner goes out of bounds and official forgets to blow whistle. Hitting the out of bounds player is a foul.

    LOL no

  • a fair catch is 2 waves, he only waved once.

  • stupid game

  • I'm sorry, but you are wrong. Yes, he talked to the ref before the play and the ref said he had to put his hand all the way up high to signal a fair catch, but the ref was wrong. Taylor knew he was bending the rules to trick the defenders and it was wrong of him. The actual rule is that any hand gesture, any hand gesture at all, even if it is not a valid fair catch signal results in the ball being dead where it is touched. The only difference is that he can be tackled if he botches the signal.

  • Agreed with UdReks, UConn was had in 2 calls I remember, 2 fumbles if I remember correctly. One was on the punt where the ball was clearly 110% touched and UConn fell on it on the 1 yard line (essentially a TD) and then there was another fumble if I remember correctly where the player was ruled down. The refs really failed in this game.

  • cheater

  • sorry but that was completely legal he didnt signal for a fair catch he just put his arm up he even talked to the official before the play and asked if that was ok

  • Uconn sucks balls

  • Big East refs still owe Louisville a make up call for that one.

    Despite what U-Con fans claim, the correct call was made on the so-called "muffed punt". Never touched our player.
