Didn’t look like roughing the passer to me. Haven’t seen what caused the taunting penalty.

Use to be a perfect play but the landing on the QB or driving them into the ground is roughing now. Taunting is just stupid have no idea what that was

Yep, didn’t see the driving till at least the third replay.

TD Illini. Easy call. No need for a review.

 

[Drubuck]

Lol. They took it away

I was thinking to myself, why the hell did the back hit the pylon with his feet and leave the ball on his outside arm? Oops

 

[Hetuck]

They overturned that? He crossed inside the pylon.

B1G refs already in midseason form.

 

[Illini Dylan]

I had just tweeted a congrats for Art on his first TD pass as an Illini. Damn replay guy

They thought the ball never crossed the goal line until it was across the sideline.

Plus this:

It wouldn’t be a game thread, for any team, anywhere, anytime, without someone bitching about the officiating.

I just saw an Illini fan shaking his keys. I remember that being a thing in the 80’s. Never did it for a kickoff, though.

I might be misremembering, but didn't the Ohio State fans get a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty for that in a game against Michigan in the late 80s or early 90s?

It doesn’t matter where the ball is if you cross the goal line inbounds. The plane of the goal line is infinite in that case. The announcers even acknowledged that during the review. If you cross the goal line inbounds while in possession of the ball then it’s a touchdown regardless of whether or not the ball was inside the pylon when you crossed the goal line. Unless they changed the rules, that was a bad call.

Pretty sure my dad was at that game and it started his long-standing, fire burning hatred of Harbaugh.

 

[Drubuck]

How do you miss that throw

 

[buckeyemania11]

Martinez somehow appears to have gotten worse

Looks like that’s still the rule:

How Scored
ARTICLE 1. A touchdown shall be scored when:
a. A ball carrier advancing from the field of play has possession of a live ball
when it penetrates the plane of the opponent’s goal line. This plane extends beyond the pylons only for a player who touches the ground in the end zone or a pylon. (A.R. 2-23-1-I and A.R. 8-2-1-I-IX).
