Anyone else still curious as to how Alto can hold a football with just 3 fingers, none of which are his thumb?

Don't you know a guy can run full speed, dive, get hit, supposedly switch hands in mid air while fully extended & grasp a ball with 3 fingers!

You guys are crazy to keep arguing this. I agree that the Pig fumble is closer than people want to admit and think there is an argument. But, you guys have spent three days arguing it.

Someone told me that the North catch may have been overturned in the NFL because they emphasize control in the hands. Evidently, when he had complete control, his feet were already out. But, I was at the other end of the stadium and just wanted to hear "call confirmed."

To me, it looks like his thumb is possibly cupping the top of the ball. But this has been rehashed many times. You could have 1,000 people watch something and get 100 different descriptions, so nothing is going to change.

I get it. It's been beaten to death.

I've moved on to figuring out how one of our own posters can hold a ball with three fingers of one hand, with no involvement from his thumb. I find that infinitely more interesting than whether or not Howard fumbled, and you should too.

Well, I think you could probably use the palm and three fingers without half of your thumb on the ball. Because a football comes to a point, it isn't impossible. The thumb can be off, and you can still manage to squeeze it in your palm. But, it is a bit ackward.

I've been running & diving for the pylon all afternoon trying to do the supposed hand switch & grasping the ball with just 3 fingers of my left hand & guess what....................I fumble every time.

Anyone got a video of the Benjamins hanging out of the ref's pocket that made those pro UGA calls at the end of the game??!

I agree, those were absolutely terrible calls.........unlike the subject of this thread
