Porta wins on 5th down play??

[Colin2299]

Wow - what a brutal way to end your season. How do the refs blow this one?
Porta kicked a FG on 5th down to win last weeks round one game vs Fairfield.

Last week. There's a whole thread on it.

Fairfield/PORTA - Forums

This video doesn’t seem edited and has 1. Spike 2. Run 3. Kneel Down 4. Spike 5. Field Goal No time left on the clock. seems about as legit of a protest game as it could be. SI Sports - Chris Dexter posted the video on TikTok No attachment to this, just saw it and figured its worth discussing.

Sorry, somehow missed the thread.

What's puzzeling to me is that the losing coach didn't seem to notice there was an issue and neither did the winning coach. The winning coach didn't hear anything of this until later that night.

How is that possible????

You tell me...you seem to fit the description of either head coach...

He's making fun of you because it took you almost a week to hear about one of the biggest stories in the state, but you asked how the coaches misses the 5th down.

Ah

Anyone have an explanation from the coaches or refs on what the mixup was? Everyone was on the same page...albeit the wrong page.

 

[SiuCubFan8]

Just google it or use AI....or just read the other thread.

Hearing Batavia staff had to stop their refs from handing GBE a 5th down tonight

Hypothetical posed by a retired HOF ihsa official...

Porta is down two, lines up for a gw FG at the 2. Kick is good as time expires but the scoreboard only puts 1 pt on the board. Officials don't know the score and award the other team the win based on what the scoreboard says. Does the ihsa step in?

 

[SiuCubFan8]

How the coach didn’t do anything is beyond me, did he not know?

No one knew. It wasn't until later that night or the next day that it was discovered. Easier than you might think to lose track of what down it is in an end of game situation in a close game.

Pretty nuts no coach or players knew.
But old news I guess.

I'm the only retired HOF IHSA official.

I also wrote down every score on my game card.

Please elaborate

Pretty much what it sounds like. Refs gave GBE a down after 4th, but coaching staff stepped in to correct it before it was too late.
