Just got done watching the OT replay. Regarding the UNI disputable touchdown catch, I gotta admit that I would have a hard time overturning the call.
It was a one handed catch, and the ball was pinned between his hand and his shoulder pad. Not much possession there, but it wasn't wobbling or moving either.
The ball did touch the ground, but the ground did not dislodge the pinned ball.
It was BARELY a possession, but can't argue it wasn't. Can't argue the ground dislodged it either.
Play stands.
(For the record, I am not a referee.)
Also, holy cow! Purdy came from seven yard back, from a standing start, to recover that fumble!
