Wisky got hosed

[TankHawk]

Shouldn't the Purdue players have been flagged for illegal participation?

What you did there, I see it.

I guess it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of assholes but geezuz, this was bad. NW punts and the Wisky receiver is waving his arms side-to-side, BELOW his waist to keep his guys away from the ball, then grabs the ball and runs for a TD. Refs call it back saying he was calling fair catch. Wisky wishes they had ACC refs today I bet.

That's the right call.

Even if he calls fair catch, if the ball bounces he can take it and go, no? I didn't see the play, but that's how I'm interpreting what happened.

And I'm no expert on rules.

Obviously not.

I don't know what play you were watching, but it was not the same play as I saw. The play I saw the receiver caught the ball and then took two steps with the ball firmly in his grasp and he only began to bobble the ball after he hit the ground and slid.
You may not like Wisconsin, but they were playing Northwestern.

Thanks. Quite a day yesterday.

It happens on nearly all punts where the ball isn't fielded. The PR waves his arms below his waist signaling his guys to stay away.

After the ball hits the ground, not before

From the NCAA rule book: "Team A's scrimmage kick is rolling beyond the neutral zone when B17 alerts his teammates to stay away from the ball by a 'get away' signal. RULING: Invalid signal. The ball is dead by rule when either team recovers."

They were more screwed by Stave. How do you take that sack? Ridiculous, throw it through the friggin' goalposts.

If it was a bad call vs Bucky...all the better...they have been living a "charmed" life for the last few years, in lots of ways...things tend to work out...and balance over time...their turn.

Their 5 turnovers doomed them...and their offensive line play this year has been far below what they are used to having...

This....they did not get hosed by anyone but themselves. Running game negative 20+ yards...at home. Their defense is the only reason they did not get blown out.
