There is a NCAA rule against "throwing the ball high in the air"
Of course the ESPN guys say that the throw wasn't high in the air.
All I know is that it was high enough to leave the viewing area. We need someone to time how long it took to leave his hand to when it landed and then calculate the height of the throw. So many pussies. I hope Locker takes responsibility for being a moron. |

I just saw the other thread with the Pac-10 official's quote.
I think it's really silly that ESPN Mark May is saying that it wasn't a high throw in the air that qualified for a penalty. |

The announcers are acting like a regular PAT would have been a chip-shot. BYU blocked the kick. It's not like it fell short, because the kicker had too little leg. I know the trajectory changes slightly with the greater distance, but that kick is blocked whether it was spotted on the 1, or the 45 yard lines. BYU's front blew up the kicking team. Blew up.

Not only that, but the extra point was to TIE the game. Given BYU's offensive success, does anyone think UW could have stopped BYU from the 25? Really? The game should have ended with Unga. Right result regardless. BYU outplayed them and deserved to win.

Congrats on your less than impressive win over a high school team and a squeaker over a suspect PAC-10 team. But, hey, whatever it takes to finally get an non-conf. road win.
