Opinions on that INT

Brad Van Vark better hope he doesn’t run into me at the Pizza Ranch restaurant back home when I’m there for Christmas because I will block the broasted chicken until I get an explanation.

Let me know where this is and I'll make sure he doesn't even sniff the desert pizza.

Lol. Sure you can make one handed catches. But you cant make one handed catches into the dbacks chest with both his arms around the football. Thats not control of the football.

I think I see part of the problem for some of you. People keep saying "dual possession". There is no such thing in the rulebook. The statute is "simultaneous possession". Meaning two players gain possession at the same time. If one player gains possession (which requires control) first then you cant have simultaneous possession.

Watch the replay. The first person to gain control is Murdock. He makes contact with the ball and pins it against the defender's chest. Murdock has control at that point even if it's on the defender's chest. The defender is second to the ball with his right hand. He attempts to get two hands on it but he can't because Murdock has more control with his right hand. The first point of control is Murdock pinning it. So according to your rules, it's a Murdock TD.

Where do you see the OSU defender first gain control?

Lol. You can’t control the ball against the defender anymore than you can control the ball against the ground or the goalpost or anything else.

Apparently he's not going to answer your question.

Defender never put the ball away or finished the catch and the ball clearly ended in Murdoch's arms, if you want to say it was out of bounds, I would get it, but not an INT
 
You know you’ve lost the argument when you have to resort to bringing up obvious typos/bad autocorrects.
You’ve yet to post anything suggesting it was an INT, so there hasn’t been anything to do but make fun of you. Please, you need to do better or this isn’t going to work and you’ll need a new moniker.
 
And neither of them completed the process of the catch prior to going out of bounds. That's textbook incomplete pass.

Dual possession means at least one receiver completed the process of the catch. Murdoch had clear control of the ball against OSU's chest all the way to the ground (while OSU is trying to slap his arm away instead of trying to possess it himself) and didn't lose possession of it until well out of bounds. AT MINIMUM Murdoch completed the process of the catch.

Dual possession is a completely made up term, is found no where in any football rule book, and has no place in this discussion.

Oh, really?



"Dual possession" is synonomous with "simultaneous catch".

Your troll game is weak and you should quit while people just assume you're stupid instead of you continuing to remove any doubt that you actually are.

I go back to it should have been an incomplete pass. OSU guy never had "control" his hands on the ball, and according to the rule book: If a forward pass is caught simultaneously by opposing players inbounds, the ball becomes dead and belongs to the passing team.

Would have been the safest call the officials could have made as well. Just "replay," don't decide the game.
