How come you didn't start a Miami U thread last week when they lost 58-0?

Did Clemson win the game on a controversial kick return as time expired?How come you didn't start a Miami U thread last week when they lost 58-0?

Well it was the biggest loss in Miami history, seems like that might have deserved its own thread. gllllllllllDid Clemson win the game on a controversial kick return as time expired?How come you didn't start a Miami U thread last week when they lost 58-0?

$ flags vs the U on Dukes final drive to give them 4 first downs.One blatant block, another questionable block, possible knee down, refs that don't understand the replay rules. It's a win.
It goes both ways.
Incredible play to end a game, top 5 finish of all time. Insane.

Don't forget the guy from the bench who runs on the field from about the 30 yard line on.One blatant block, another questionable block, possible knee down, refs that don't understand the replay rules. It's a win.

Good to see the band showing some restraint.

The ACC suspended the refs for 2 games. They cited the mistakes on the last play, but not the bogus pass interference calls on Duke's last drive.

I thought you couldn't advance a fumble at the end of the game either (several of those laterals hit the ground). Or is that just the NFL?One blatant block, another questionable block, possible knee down, refs that don't understand the replay rules. It's a win.

Only the fumbling player can advance. In a lateral situation I would guess that the intended receiver can advance it but if it becomes a holy roller situation the play is pretty much dead.I thought you couldn't advance a fumble at the end of the game either (several of those laterals hit the ground).

Weird. Technically the player throwing the lateral is the fumbling player (the same way that a botched handoff is credited to the QB). Also looked like a few of those laterals didn't really have clear targets and were as much intentional fumbles as actual laterals.Only the fumbling player can advance.

Yeah, I'm no rule expert but I can see the logic behind allowing the intended receiver being allowed to advance. The spirirt of the rule is to discourage the intentional forward fumble. As long as there is intent to lateral, I don't think it should be a problem. That is just my personal opinion, I have no clue what the letter of the law is in this case.Weird.

Two things about this...
1) Do you think this would be happening if the game was a couple blocks away in Cameron Indoor Stadium?
2) Heard this on Highly Questionable this afternoon, don't you think (and the ACC and others can't mention this) the game can't be overturned is folks in Vegas? Hard to get folks to return cash they won on a game when the result is overturned a day or two later?

I don't see this as a problem. Books can make up their own rules as far as settling tickets. They don't have to honor overturned games.

You can advance them in the NFL as well if the ball doesn't go forward. If it's a lateral, it doesn't matter if it hits the ground or not.Short Corner said:Yeah, I'm no rule expert but I can see the logic behind allowing the intended receiver being allowed to advance.

But haven't most people settled by today for games on Saturday?
Although I'm sure it isn't a huge game for betting, but...
