One thing we're learning by getting the audio of these reviews is how much the decision is dictated by Rosemont rather than the referees on the field.

That was the right decision though. The ball probably crossed the plane while the Maryland guy still had it. It's probably like 90% certain. But you can't see it on the video, you can't overturn the call on the field when you don't have a conclusive view.
Yes, surprised how involved Rosemont is with the decisions. Quite frankly that only adds to the conspiracy theory that in recent years the most critical calls have come down from the B10 office. That said I really think it was more a toss up on whether he crossed the goal line . That ball came out pretty early on the extension on the lineman’s back.

Let’s not overreact to one bad throw. They’d still be driving if Dixon hadn’t dropped the ball there. If Houser’s hand creates throwing issues then pull him but too early to tell.
Nah, that throw definitely proves that all the fans know better than the doctors and coaching staff.

Houser definitely not his best today. Can't tell if he's rusty, nervous, or the injury is affecting his throws, maybe all three. If this doesn't improve on our next possession, rest him and let Clayton/Boyd give us a chance to win. A loss today, and any chance at a bowl game this year disappears.

Like a hot knife through butter.

I guess Maryland is just going to QB run the entire game.. and Houser shouldn't be playing today
