1. You're a baffoon, he didn't touch the ball

2. Possession is made as he IMMEDIATELY lands on it. Not when his momentum stops.

1. There's no helmet to helmet rule when a receiver turns into a ball carrier.

2. There was no facemask.

you are 100% false in what you just said right there. Only few can claim that title.

Ya i can see there helmets touched haha....like every tackle. That happens on almost every tackle you will see in football. Learn the game man

[David Gilbertson]

Well, um, that's where the defender's helmet smashed into the reciever's. So yes.

[wilhi31]

where the hell did you see helmet to helmet contact. i hope you dont mean the initial contact

Michael Clay probably shouldn't have dove for the ball. He somehow didn't realize that Jared Abrederis was the only Badger anywhere near it, and he was already taken down by Mitchel and Pleasant. Clay should have picked it up and started running towards the endzone, which would have given the ducks a chance to add some insurance points before allowing Wisconsin to attempt a 30-second miracle drive which almost worked. Being at this game was an experience of a lifetime. GO DUCKS WTD!

good point. I was there and I never noticed that. but I think Wisconsin was much luckier to have had the fumble by Darron Thomas in 2nd quarter that resulted in a TD count, knowing he was clearly attempting to pass the ball and was broken up, or at the very most, intentional grounding. Be thankful that happened, for it would have meant Wisconsin would have been down by probably 14 points by the time you'd next have the ball in the 2nd half, after the ducks first drive.

Helmet to helmet could've been called as well as the facemask after the fumble.

I didn't complain so much as say, "damn I wish his knee was down". I have no problem with questioning the call, more the claims by some Wisconsin fans that it was obviously recovered out of bounds.
