@btrembly Cool, This is fun. Let’s continue. Now add Francis Brewu, Tae Johnson, Drayk Bowen and Jason Onye. Or are we talking about the guys who left the game that were actually relevant to the game? Stfu you stupid piece of shit. God, you Miami fans are all fucking mindless drones
Barely? They controlled the whole game and had Miami down 24-3. Miami got two TDs while Leonard Moore and Sanders (two starting CBs) were on the sideline dealing with injuries. Barkate beat our 5th string CB for a TD. Our OL and DL dominated.
Miami couldn't score from 1st and goal from the one yard line. They got zero sacks. Carr carved up your defense before the half in the 2 min drill. 3/3 in the redzone and 2/2 on 4th downs.
#ElijaLofton catches the football while in the air and has control, as he gets his feet down, the ball begins to move and he does not maintain control of the football while going out-of-bounds, and was about to drop the football regardless of the defender knocking the football away.
By rule he did not complete the process of the catch, therefore #incomplete is the correct call.
A clip of AJ Brown has also been shared supposedly equating the two plays. It is not the same as Brown has possession, takes at least 3 steps and makes a football move before having the ball hit out of his possession with the football going out of bounds.
Post updated with video evidence. This video loops 3 times. I only show where he was losing control before the ND player hit the ball. You can clearly see he was trying to maintain control of the ball.
Notre Dame v Miami Catchgate Update:
They ruled it not a catch because he didn’t have full control of the ball as he was bringing the ball down from over his head. Had the ND player then hit the ball after that or not, it would have been the same ruling.
Rules analyst Terry McAulay (former NFL referee) said on the NBC broadcast that Lofton bobbled/slightly lost control of the ball as he was bringing it down and landing, and that he never had it long enough to complete the process of the catch before the ball came loose. That matches what the officials saw on the field and on review.
The defender (Luke Talich) did contact the ball, but the ruling hinged on Lofton never fully establishing and maintaining control through the catch process, especially while going out of bounds. Simply getting both feet in and briefly having the ball isn’t enough if control is already slipping as you land or exit the field of play.
If you want to sound dumb...argue that it was a horrible call by the refs against Elijah Lofton at the end of the Notre Dame vs Miami game. Even dumber? Post a screenshot of 2 feet in bounds with football in hands!
If you want to sound smart ...say they got the call right but you hate the rules on what is a catch or not.
@profeta_sammy Smoke em if you got em. Told all week that they were going to be destroyed even without Toney. Now the excuses fly. Shit is stupidity at its finest. Just stfu and move along. Take your L and quit bitching
