Was the last Leavitt passed tipped?

I don’t think it was tipped. I think it slipped out of his hand.
The guy threw wounded ducks every other throw

Didn't looked tipped to me. It just slipped a little from his hand and caused a push to the right. That's what it looked like realtime to me, and was verified when they replayed. Not sure he really had a receiver where he was aiming, but it went several feet to the right of what he wanted. He was under some pressure.
He was rattled all game. I think the crowd noise affected him all game. He wasn't expecting what was going to happen from the crowd.
Yeah if you watch the replay from the endzone angle it looks like it comes out early and goes way right of where he was aiming.
In the beginning, you could literally see the look of shock on their faces in regards to the crowd noise. They had not experienced anything like that in their entire lives.
I know they were glad to get back to their croissants and baguettes

I've watched that play over and over again and still can't tell. I'd like to give our guy credit for tipping it, but I still can't tell for sure. When I watched in real time I thought it slipped. When watching the replay, it sorta looks tipped just a little.
I can't tell. Sometimes I've watched it and thought, yep, it was tipped. Other times, I think it slipped out of his hand. Really hard to tell.
I did not appear to be tipped to me. Nothing about speed or trajectory of the ball appeared to change to me.
Even if he didn't quite tip it, the DL made a good play. There were several plays where you could see multiple guys doing their jobs. Great team effort.
It looked like to me it was a bad throw or he changed his mind mid throw, and it just slipped out.
Go back and watch his interview midweek about cowbells..... the kid was smiling a bit when he talked about them. Bet he isn't smiling now.
I thought he'd gotten better last year. But I guess not. Looking at stats, his worst 3 games were all vs SEC defenses, 73.6 & 79.0 passer rating vs MSU and 88.4 vs Tex - only 1 other game less than 136 (and it was 115).
Right. From this angle, assuming he is looking where he intends for the ball to go, he is looking much further to his left
Was listening to Doug Colson’s show on 106.3 this AM. A caller mentioned that Leavitt would get drafted. I was thinking, did they watch the same game as me?
It looked a lot like the first pick he threw.
Just throw it in the area of my WR and hopefully they can go get it, but in both cases, they couldn't because they were so poorly thrown.
I guess the "high school game" environment was too much for him.

How though? He should have been acclimated to the cowbells from all that practice.
I said in the thread about the bells they were using that they were doing him an injustice with those things.
