[QUOTE="TheChief4Life, post: 1819759, member: 747708"] I believe the rule is not just “in contact with the ground”, but rather “in possession and in contact with the ground”. If you watch the play, even in slow-Mo, he clearly doesn’t have possession when he is in contact with the ground and ball at the same time. The image is misleading. I’ll probably get flack for this, but I thought the reffing was perfect for what the Illini needed. The biggest issue was the sudden call of PI that hadn’t been getting called all game. That 4th down play was also inexcusable. Unfortunately, those two calls were right at the end, and were at a critical part of the game. But overall, and taken as a whole, it was one of the least frustrated I’ve been at refs all season. [/QUOTE]
