glad we had wyoming this week, I look at the games and it seems like powerhouse vs cupcakes week. wyoming is at least a respectable team. bama and 0u are playing teams I never heard of.
but after that 0u has ohio state, texas, baylor, and k-state in a row..thats seems like a tough stretch.

Western Ky would beat the hell out of Wyoming

Huh? I was just watching. I thought Okie Lite ran the clock out?

4th and 13, Okie State's QB dropped back and heaved a ball to nobody. Was flagged for intentional grounding. The referee on the field gave CMU an untimmed down from their own 49.

Mike Perrera back in the studio says they should not have received an extra play.... apparently, the game CAN end on an offensive penalty...whereas it cannot on a defensive.

Awesome play though.

Holy crap. I changed channels after he threw the ball away. I saw your post about the game and went to my ESPN app and it still showed OSU winning. I was so confused. Haha.

ESPN must know the rule book better than the game officials.

they may have blown the call according to the rule book. but what is exactly the penalty for the offense in that situation. according to the book you gain a benefit for breaking a rule. what sense does that make?

It makes zero sense. I've been arguing it with a buddy ever since it happened. I'm not sure how to rewrite the rule, but I think they should.

They should put an addendum that says if the loss of down penalty creates a turnover, then there should be one untimed down by the team that receives the ball. I thought the same thing yesterday when I heard the rule. The team that gets the penalty isn't really being penalized.

You have no clue. Western Ky is a hell of alot better program than Wyoming right now. Not even close...
Failing to grasp your point here... Why does this matter? We beat a bad Wyoming team. Alabama beat apparently 'a hell of a good team' in Western Kentucky.

So? We should be impressed that Alabama beat a team from Conference USA?

So OSU had a grounding penalty on 4th down of the last play of the game, which allowed CMU an untimed down? Why were they throwing on 4th down with a lead there anyway?

just a few seconds left and I'm sure the QB was instructed to just chuck the ball as far as he could and out of bounds to let the clock run out while the ball is in the air. We have seen more of this strategy in the last few years.

Read the other replies. One poster made the remark that Alabama was playing a nobody, where as Nebraska was playing a respectable program. That's just completely wrong, Western Ky isn't a world beater, but a much better program than Wyoming right now.

I see. I guess it makes sense. Michigan tried to punt in that situation ladt year and also found a way to lose.
