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.

That is total bullshite, I hate it when people say things like that. The play was called a catch on the field, there was absolutely NO indisputable evidence to overturn that call. The call should have stood and worse case it looks like you tie the game and it goes into overtime and personally I think you guys had the MO. But Stanford didn't beat you guys you were in a position to tie it up and go into overtime. Whether you like it or not the Zebra's beat you guys.
