Anyone have a take on the Stanford vs. Washington ending?

Seems to be a bit of hush-hush about this game. Very similar to the Wisconsin vs. Arizona State ending without all the noise. Washington QB Price looked great and LSU got some mention during the telecast since we played them last season. I must admit I turned the game off after Price threw INT w Washington driving mid-4th qtr down 2 scores. They were in great position to win that game if not for the replay override. Never did see reason to overturn the call but I guess the kid did not make the catch. Hope Washington can bounce back against Oregon but that's much easier said than done. What up w that call?????

I thought they got screwed on that replay call, but then again, I also couldn't see straight at that point in the night after the State game.

The call was a little questionable. I thought it was for sure going to be one of those plays that whatever was called on the field stands. That being said, it did look to me like the ball hit the ground so I didn't get worked up over it. Could've done wonders to LSU's BCSNCG hopes if Washington upset Standford, considering we need both Stanford and Oregon to lose.

Washington got Stanfordized. ISU got Texasized, and Northwestern got OhioSstateized. like when we play bama, there''s always a blown call favoring them..from the latin word bamaized

Great game and certainly back and forth, I thought it was a catch and it was ruled a catch on the field. Even the ESPN announcers did not think there was irrefutable evidence to reverse the call but the PAC 12 replay booth did just that. It was close but again I felt that Washington got the hose.

all bad calls favor the higher ranked and favored team - just look at Wash/Stanford, Ohio St/Northwestern, and Texas/Iowa St this weekend.

That's very Ron Burgundyish.

My thoughts exactly! It appears as though the ball "might" have hit the ground and the receiver wasn't exactly selling the play either. If he caught it he would have been jumping up and down. I just didn't see a reason to overturn the call if there was no indisputable evidence. Maybe Washington will take out Oregon this weekend. The QB for Washington looks great plus he can run! Oregon is going to have to play well. Washington has good defense as well. Just ask Stanford.

Incomplete, nothing to talk about.

Personally I think it was bullshite overturn, ruled catch on the field they showed every single angle and the bottom line was there was no evidence to overturn it. Even the announcers were saying there was nothing to overturn it. I know people don't like to think of conspiracy theories but that conspiracy all over it. No way Washington makes it to the BCS NC game, but the winner of the Oregon/Stanford game has a damn good shot but not if Stanford has a loss. To me that was so controversial on top of the fact that he took forever for the ruling, just proves the point. It has to be conclusive evidence to overturn the call on the field "which was ruled a catch" if it is overturn-able it should have not taken 3 minutes to figure it out. I wonder if any phone calls were made during that 3 minutes. There is just so much money in the BCS NC game and BCS's games in general that making sure you have at least one team involved in the mix it is minimum $5mil to the conference and if it is in the BCS-NC it is almost $20mil, that induces a hell of a lot of cheating.
Also the Ohio St. game was controversial to keep Ohio States chances alive. Northwestern made that first down it was clear a can be and they didn't give it to him, what a crock of shite. Again what are the chances of Ohio St. making it with one loss. They are just about guaranteed if they go undefeated.

That picture isn't really definitive in my opinion. It's hard to say the ball even touched the ground.

If the player has control of the ball when he is going to the ground that is a catch, the ground can not assist in the catch. The key is, does he have control there, that is not conclusive which it has to be to be overturned.

Exactly, which it has to be to overturn the call on the field. That call stinks of conspiracy all over it. I think there was $20mil reasons that call was overturned. UW got screwed simple as that.

You can't trap the ball. IF the tip hits the ground and it it's not corralled than you can't call it a catch. However, I have seen nothing definitive and the call was a catch. It probably shouldn't have been overturned but we have no idea if there was another angle, as the announcers even conceded.

I thought it hit the ground, but couldn't tell 100% for sure. You can still catch the ball and control it, even if it does touch the ground.
Bottom line though, it was called a catch on the field. In order to overturn the call on the field (by a referee who had a much better view than the camera angle), in has to be indisputable evidence. If you ask 100 people, 100 have to agree on the call. I don't think the case could be made about that.
If our special teams didn't suck that day, we would have won anyways. We beat them in 2 of the 3 phases of the game (outgained them 489 to 279), but they smashed us in the 3rd phase.

The problem with this analysis is that they did beat you with special tams. That gave them a two score lead for most of the second half. If the game had been tied, Stanford doesn't go into a shell offensively. Shaw called that game not to lose. In the end he didn't pay for it.
