[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 274961, member: 2843"] Did anyone else notice this on last play of OT in SC v USF game? ...and what would be the 'correct' ruling? The game ended without any replay or discussion and I'm not even sure I saw it this way.... but I'm asking IF it occurred this way, what is the ruling. Scenario: USF scored a TD in the first possession of OT. On SC's possession, they needed a TD to stay alive in the game. It got to a do or die 4th down. The SC QB is sacked and may have been in process of passing the ball. It may have been ruled incomplete on the field. In that case, the game would obviously be over even if replay overturned the pass call (into a fumble) on the field because the whistle would have meant a dead ball. However, let's assume it was actually a fumble by the QB. A USF defender (for some dumb reason) chose to pick up the ball and run with it rather than fall on it. In my mind, he clearly possessed the ball, was hit and HE fumbled it. I think a SC lineman may have fallen on that fumble. Would that not mean.... a 1st down (fresh set) and SC maintains possession?? I know that would be the ruling in regulation and I believe OT possessions are treated the same as regulation. If so... I'd love to see the sequence again; and can you imagine if the game turned that way? [/QUOTE]
