I hate Notre Dame, but I think Rudolph caught that. He had that ball controlled on his finger tips with two feet down and nothing out of bounds.

No effing way. What were you looking at? His knee was out of bounds when he had control of the ball. The replay booth didn't even need to look at it very long.

I'd argue he had control as soon as the ball hit his hand. That's what I was arguing. He was out of bounds when he cradled the ball, but he palmed that ball before he hit the turf and out of bounds.

It was in his hand for a split second, and pops out. Then he controls the ball while he is out of bounds.

Are you talking about when it first hit his hands on the pass from Clausen?

I'm arguing that after it tipped off his hands, it came down and landed in his hand, cradled under control. He didn't pull it in to his body until after he was out of bounds, but he caught it the second time while still inbounds.

I know exactly what you are talking about. He has it in one hand. I thought the same thing at first too. Yet you will see after he palms it the ball comes out of his hand (the ball was not in control for possession). Then he catches it when his knee is out of bounds.

You have to come down with the ball in control. That short time he was palming it is not possession. It comes out, and then he catches it.

It may have been possession if the ball stick in his hand and didn't move around as he tried to tuck it in. Yet that ball was not in his control as he tries to tuck it into his body.

Notre Dame played an impressive game against a superior opponent.

They weren't very impressive the first three quarters, falling behind 34-14, but they did a great job of fighting back and almost forcing overtime.

Gotta give them credit for that...fuckers.
