Final Play

[GDomer09]

I didn't see it on here anywhere, but it's eating me up like crazy. Everywhere I look they are talking about the "questionable call" at the end of the game and that it will be what people are talking about in regards to Notre Dame's glorious bad a$$ win.

Unless I'm wrong - It was forward motion, the ref blew the whistle and was running out on the field while Taylor was slowly squirming around on the pile towards the end zone? If this is so obvious to me (not an expert) then why not to the so called experts who make a living off of this game?

Help Please!?!?

 

[Irish Houstonian]

Yeah, if you hate Notre Dame, it may be a bummer...

 

[Yes]

The whistle blew and ND's defense stopped playing, which allowed Taylor to get into the endzone. I don't think it's a touchdown.

Elbow looked down prior to the 3rd surge.

 

[GDomer09]

Exactly so why are these douches questioning it!

 

[Yes]

Because it's Notre Dame. Everything must be questioned!!

 

[RallySonsOfND]

Forward progress was done, whistle blew to end the play, ND Defense starts celebrating the victory, then his elbow hit, then the ball crossed.


No touchdown. Great call by PAC-12 refs, with the Big East booth crew.

 

[Irish Houstonian]

Because the whistle blew, they really shouldn't have even reviewed it. I see that even as more of a courtesy.

I didn't realize people were saying stuff. I don't really care, either. It was not a touchdown. People can say whatever they want. They sound like babies.

I know it's just really getting to me this time. I feel like I just watched the best Notre Dame game in a decade (excitment) and they're trying to take it from me.

I think the 2nd down play was really close too... after all these years of seeing ND on the wrong end of these close calls, it feels great to have this one go our way...

Just enjoy it. FYI, the Immaculate Reception was an illegal play too, but nowadays nobody gives a ****.

I get forward progress was done but he really wasn't down. I will take the call but they were saying whistle wasn't blown. Just being real and not blinded.

Regardless... I am proud of ND today!

Here is a quick Gif video with clear evidence he was not in, and this is way after the whistle blew regardless. His elbow
hit and the play was over. This is just ND haters being haters.

Yeah but ending forward progress happens often, a play can be blown dead before the player possessing the ball is down.

 

[RallySonsOfND]

Yes. I give you... Left Elbow = Down

Plus showing all the defensive players leaving to celebrate. lol

This

He was stuck not moving his legs before he turned and fell on the pile.

Who is making an issue out of this? I literally have not heard anything about it. Whoever is talking about this foolish and their opinion doesn't matter. It clearly wasn't a TD for about 4 different reason.

Joey F'n Harrington was for one and so was Mike Pereira. Just add them to the list. Haters in da house.

 

[Rhode Irish]

Is Joey Harrington doing a media gig now? Ha! Who would hire that guy?

Who? Why would their opinios matter to you?

 

[GDomer09]

Are you kdding me!!! Turn on your fahking tv! As soon as these aholes start talking about the game it ends with this. Mandel spoke of this as well in his afternoon game breakdowns.

 

[ARALOU]

Elbow down short of goal line. AFTER FORWARD PROGRESS STOPPED AND WHISTLED DEAD. EVEN THE ANTI-IRISH ANNOUNCERS SAID HE DIDNT GET IN. Game over WTG Irish D!

Relax brah. I was just answering the man's question.

While this was happening, the Pac 12 line judge was already 15 yards on the field marking him down. Its clear as day on the replay.

 

[A Pac]

Seeing as how his name is freaking Stepfan, he deserved to be ruled down when the play started.

Exactly. If he's running on the field he believes the play is over and he's running to mark the spot.

lol Sorry came off rude, wasn't meant that way toward you. I was more pointing out why do we care what some nobody zero's have to say.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

I'd like to see anyone with self-respect say that was indisputably a touchdown.
