I feel like NW does this every year and ends up with 7 or so wins.tims4wins said:The more I watch Northwestern the more pissed I am we lost to them
If Kaaya plays I think it will be an interesting game. If he doesn't Duke will roll. Duke is the best team in the Coastal (damning with faint praise) but the difference in talent from 1-7 is pretty slim, so anyone is capable of beating anyone.DukeSox said:Yeah, i think Miami's athletes will shine here off the embarrassment of last week and it could be really ugly for Duke.
DukeSox said:Yes. Guys that weren't even dressed were running on the field during the play.
Duke gets all calls tho.

The down/not-down call was so close that I don't blame the official for letting the play unfold and counting on replay to sort it out in the unlikely event that it mattered. But I thought the replay showed he was definitely down, so I can't see why that wasn't reversed.tims4wins said:Didn't realize how blatant the guy coming off the sideline was. Refs really really boned that. Like really bad. Probably can't even blame the on field refs so much as the league office, with the exception of the side judge who missed the guy being down on the 26 from < 5 yards away with a direct angle on the play

This might go down as the biggest officiating blunder since the Colorado 5th-down game 25 years ago.

It takes some serious willful ignorance to look at that replay and conclude that there was not a knee down. And if the there was a flag thrown on the play for blocking in the back (the ESPN replay was not clear, so forgive my own ignorance) then you can't review that.
This is the kind of nonsense that I just hate about NCAA football officiating. The crew gets caught up in the moment and allows extreme caution to creep into their rulings, which results in a bastardization of the rules of the game.
It would be fair to describe me as anti-Duke and yet I am extremely pissed watching that replay.
