Yep, no way Ohio can win…ooops. Not a fan of Ohio, but I rooted for them last night.
as long as Arkansas has that mealy mouth, girly piece of shit coach, petrino, I will root for them to go 0-12 every year. It’s not against the team, but hiring that piece of shit I have to root against them. I think it’s funny when he suffers…I hope his kids grow up to hate his guts and never speak to him again.
falcons fan pat?

Whistle was not blown… He disengaged and attempted to continue then was tackled by another player… Safety. There are plenty of times when someone is driven back 4-5 yards… then they are able to get out and take it down the field big. Should those times not have counted.
He should have let himself get tackled and there would have been no problem [/quote]
Yep. IF the initial tackler had brought him down, spot it at the three. When you break loose and you’re still on your feet, the play is still live.

His forward progress was stopped outside the goal line/endzone, then he was driven back into the endzone. We see it happen all the time with receivers catching the ball and being driven back after the reception is made. The ball is not spotted where the ball carrier was pushed back to.
The first play in the video below is almost identical to the play in question from the Sugar Bowl. Guess what, it wasn’t ruled a safety due to forward progress.
And no it doesn’t matter, but you stated it was the proper call when it clearly wasn’t.

Forward progress was stopped BUT he broke the initial tackle. Still a live play in the endzone at that point.

His forward progress was clearly stopped outside the endzone. He was then driven back into the endzone. If your explanation is how officials are going to interpret the rule, then when a receiver catches the ball and is gang tackled, driven back and won’t go down, then the spot of the ball should be were the ball carrier finally falls to the ground. You’re essentially changing the rules.
I would agree with what you are saying if the ball carrier was stopped before leaving the endzone and broke the tackle, tried to elude another tackler (while still in the endzone) and was finally brought down. That isn’t what happened here, though.

Indeed…
Yeah, I think our only disagreement is whether or not he broke the initial tackle. I think he did. But I’m an Arkansas fan. And I’d had a few beers by that point in the game too, so you know. I may not be the most credible witness haha
