    Pretty obvious that's backwards or extremely close - it sure as hell isn't forward.  Lance's entire body was in front of the line and it hit Watson in the chest as he was on/behind the line every so slightly.  No?

    But according to the bison posters a few days ago, if it’s thrown a little  itty bit backwards, it doesn’t count.

    On another tangent DeBoer named HC at Fresno State.........thank goodness UND passed on him during the hiring process when Muss was let go!!!

    Stability is our trademark.   Who wants the hassle of hiring a new coach....much easier to have lifers nobody else considers.

    LMAO. Dude, you are one of the posters on here that gives graduate classes in that subject.

    Imagine that; on a site called SIOUXSPORTS, someone supporting their team.  Hmm...  

    You got a gift today.  Too bad you guys can't just admit that.  But for some reason,  you feel the need to come over to siouxsports and preach a long thesis that completely contradicts itself.

    Isn’t a lateral considered a fumble also?  I haven’t seen the play, but if it isn’t clearly going forward, it should be a fumble.

    Exactly.  Everyone watching on TV had the angle to see it was a fumble plain as day.

    The replay is now available on ESPN. It wasn't a low throw, and it is super tough to tell if it went backward or not. If it was backwards, it was by about 3 inches over 20 yards.The play is at 1:14:45.

    Lance threw it with his back foot just in front of the 45 on the near hash. His throwing arm was slightly behind his foot because of the direction he was throwing the ball, so the ball was released either directly over the 45 or maybe an inch or two in front of it. The receiver was about five yards beyond the far hash, facing towards Lance and with both of his feet close together just barely behind the 45 and his body leaning slightly forward. The ball hit him right in the gut, which was directly over the 45.

    The idea that the ball was a full yard back is idiotic, and mostly due to misremembering and some moron announcers that think they know the rules but don't. If this was a higher profile game with a rules specialist on standby(like NFL or big college games), the official would have said that the officiating philosophy for situations like this is that the ball must be clearly moving backwards before it becomes a fumble. This throw might have been ever so slightly backwards, but that wouldn't be enough; especially on review. Very close call, but ruled correctly on the field.

    Judgement call vs

    Nothing to judge on a ball thrown backward, especially when taking place right over a line on the field.

    I missed the game.  Can someone describe the play and call?

    Lance threw a screen pass.  He clearly threw it backwards by a yard.  Illinois State picked it up, no one near the guy, and ran in for a touchdown.

    Nonsense. The worst call of the day was the missed PI in the end zone against ISU. Had the refs gotten that right it might have been 3+3+7=16 and ISU would have been in position to possibly win at the end.

    That potential PI call in the end zone is called maybe half of the time, if that.  Officials were obstructed and two guys were battling each other.

     

      Not only was Illinois State screwed out of 7 points, but they also had to start their next drive on the 2 yard line thanks to a nice punt.  In a defensive battle, 7 points taken off the board and flipping field position to the 2 yard line, was the difference in the game.

    3 + 3 + 7 = 16.   You heard it here first, folks!  ndsu math at its finest.

    I wouldnt say they won because of officiating.

    They won because the other team literally couldnt throw the ball. At all.

    You arent going to win many games when your offense puts up a grand total of three points.

    But when 3 + 7 = 10, and you held the other team to 9, you win.
