ReliaQuest Bowl- Miss St vs Illinois

[Nerwen Aldarion]

That was a big flop LOL

 

[BreatheUT]

How pissed are the Illinois fans now that they've encountered the cowbell? They are probably like wth? These southern hillbillies.

 

[TrueOrange]

Nice acting Rogers.

Why argue about that now? It’s already a very short game winning FG attempt down the middle to win the game. You and the team are already good.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Icing the kicker always annoys me.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Good for Miss State!

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

It’s good!

 

[TrueOrange]

And that’s likely going to be it. FG is good to make it 13-10 with 4 seconds left.

There’s a pirate in heaven swinging his sword and smiling

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Why do such a bad punt?????

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

3 seconds, Hail Mary time

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Whiaaaaaamm

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

What the **** just happened?!?!?!

 

[TheDeeble]

Lol. That’ll go down as the oddball play of the year.

 

[malinoisvol]

Fawking AWESOME! And the Pirate smiles.

 

[TrueOrange]

“Yeah! That’s right! The game wasn’t even close! They never had a chance.”

-Mississippi State fans now after the very last play, probably

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

the ball was thrown around everywhere, miss state scooped the ball up and scored

Now a big fight on the field

 

[loservol]

Wouldn't be a Mississippi State bowl game without a game ending brawl.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

That was a pretty epic ending

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Final score 19-10 bulldogs

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Illinois was +4? Lol, bad beat if so.

Lol. That’ll go down as the oddball play of the year.

ODD question I guess. The ball that hit the ground and was picked up and returned for the TD, was it a backward or forward pass? I thought forward. If it was, would it by rule be returnable? Funny if it was not legally returned with all the bets on the 3.5 point spread. I would have thought it would be an incomplete illegal forward pass and the game end at that spot with the penalty declined.

Anybody know for sure on both counts?

Edited to add.... went to a replay and it was by inches if not feet a backward pass. Good thing cause I believe the following rule would have ended the game at the spot the ball was thrown if it was forward an inch....

Spot Where Run Ends ARTICLE 8. The spot where the run ends is the point: a. Where the ball is declared dead in player possession. b. Where player possession is lost on a fumble. c. Where handing of the ball occurs. d. Where an illegal forward pass is thrown.

No reference to any action after it is thrown, bur there might be another obscure rule where it is a live ball...

Illinois was +4? Lol, bad beat if so.

I saw +3 so a push turned into a loss
