[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 78403, member: 231"] And here is why that claim is really really dead wrong . . . how the hell did the officials ever call it a forward pass to begin with????? Follow me here. The officials have watched both these teams running [I]option [/I]offenses all day long and KNOW that the intention is always to lateral the ball as a pitch to a trailing back. That is [I]always [/I]the intention of the QB and pitch man. Sooooo, if a bang bang pitch and catch happens where you think it may have been a forward pass or screen pass but it was "very close" then you by default should rule it on the field as a lateral and then sort it out by video review. Why in the world if it is such a close call would you ever choose the[I] least likely [/I]side to rule it on the field when the intention of the QB and the offense is clearly to be making a lateral there? To overturn it you know they had to have gotten the call right on review. But, it should never have been ruled a forward pass "on the field" if it was too close to call, imo. And also note that GSU to complain over this call being reversed actually have to be saying "no way, our QB completely [I]screwed [/I]up the play . . . and made a screen pass instead of a lateral, geez refs you couldn't see that?" It can happen that a QB turns what is supposed to be a lateral into a pass as we saw with Thomas and Snoddy but this is a very rare occurrence and never intended. [/QUOTE]
