Birmingham Bowl: USF vs USCe

[VolsSportsFan]

I thought South Carolina had the momentum and would win in OT. USF was lucky to win this game.

Same here. USF should have won easily and then escaped.

the USC offensive lineman signaling that it was first down...hilarious

Not a bad idea to try and convince refs that USF had possession of fumble and then fumbled again. Wouldn't that be 1st down for USC?

Not sure on the rules there.

I wouldn't be surprised if its not covered. Haha.

Need VN refs to chime in.

I believe that South Carolina would have 1st down if USF gained possession, fumbled and Carolina recovered.

True even in 2nd possession of OT? I thought maybe refs ruled that as soon as USF gained possession, game is over?

Good point, the scenario I described shouldn't apply in overtime. Once USF gained possession the game was over.

I'm not sure of that. I mean do the rules specify change of possession if one team has converted and the other not? This seems like a crazy thing to have covered in the rules, not saying its not possible.

I'm honestly not sure either. I think what I said before was correct, however, I would need to read the rules to be certain. I've never seen something like that in overtime.

Probably broadcast rights and add revenue are enough.

Not to mention sponsorship money from companies.

Dang it looked like I missed a great ending. I fell asleep when I thought USF would run away with it....that will teach me to stay up all night binge watching Stranger Things
