looking through some of the plays...
Definitely think they should have had a chance to return the kickoff, unlikely yes, but should have been given the opportunity with 2 sec. left. maybe there is a penalty and they get a shot at a hail mary... maybe maybe maybe.... doesn't matter now, but sucked at the time.
Also, saw last night that on stanfords last td to hooper, he was lined up illegally, he was covered by i think its no. 64 on the line, COULD have been why he was so wide opened, plus should have been a flag. I tired to attach a picture, not sure if it will work or not.
With both of these, plus all the other calls i mentioned, are just why i feel it was a poorly officiated game. And its not so much throwing my hands up saying the refs cost ND the game, its just more of a statement that they did a poor job, and when these poor calls were made they ended up hurting ND more than they did Stanford.
So you have the time issue, illegal receiver catches a td, at least 2 calls that should have been at least reviewed, a very questionable PI, a dlineman clearly lined up offsides and a number of times o lineman were moving... all these not called or at least reviewed.
I saw a couple holdings that could have been called and think sheldon day should have been called offsides with contact, BUT once re watching it the TE there did not seem to react to much like he was touch? Maybe its just me, you kind of see him point a little, but it was hard to see from the angle, but im sure he did touch him.
Ultimately its on ND, gotta score TDs, not field goals and play better defense. Both teams came to play which was great to see.
