Intentional grounding?

From seeing it live it sure looked like it. Play before the touchdown....was it?

Sure as hell looked like it from 108 as well.

Yeah I mean will have to see the replay but it definitely seemed pretty clear that there should have been a flag. Thanks.

They were both intentional grounding. The explanation that he was getting hit while throwing is completely wrong. There is no such exemption in the rule book for this explanation. It was made up. He was in the pocket and did not get the ball anywhere near a receiver. Simple it's intentional grounding. Second one they said it was close to a receiver yet no receiver was within ten yards of the pass. Again simple call. This display of officiating we just witnessed was atrocious.

The ball has to get back to the line of scrimmage. The first ball was close. The 2nd one was 15 yards shy of it. Horrible Big 10 officiating. They make the AAC look good

Me and all my buddies were going berserk on those calls. Both non calls resulting in TDs.

Refs just hate us.

Honestly, if the officiating in those calls wasnt so bad I would be okay with the loss. Those playa killed us.the refs killed us.

Holding penalties are judgement calls. Technically there is holding on every play. Intentional Grounding is not a judgement call. The ball either is in the area AND makes it back to the line of scrimmage or it doesnt.
