Well, some say you play to the whistle. Some say the ball was not in possession when the MISS player touched it &#8211; he didn&#8217;t hold it, he touched it, and that doesn&#8217;t equal possession, even though the guy was on one knee, which totally looks like he&#8217;s &#8220;downing&#8221; the ball.<\/p>\n<p>But the ref threw the beanbag?

Or did the MISS player down the ball correctly? Or did he down the ball incorrectly?<\/p>\n<p>What if he picked it up and gave it to the ref? Does that seal the deal on the punt right there?<\/p>\n<p>Man, that stadium was off the hook.<\/p>\n<p>PS: look closely, is there two number 4&#8217;s on the field&#8230; uh&#8230;. how&#8230;. did&#8230;. that&#8230; happen??<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the most talked about college football touchdown I have seen in ages.
