I know you posted it but you gave no comment. Clearly looks like a TD to me too. Here’s my opinion as it has been for years with officials. The official made a call, live with it and move on.

You can’t see from that video if he did or not. But I guess it’s possible. Does it matter if the ball crosses over the sideline in the air before crossing the goal line plane?

They really didn’t have trouble moving the ball all night on the Memorial D I was very surprised that VL didn’t score on the pick in the 3rd Quarter. Heck, it was 1st and goal after a couple of plays after the INT. And the missed FG drive too, since VL was driving the ball well. The sideline was visibly upset after the 4th and Goal call. Vincennes made a lot of mistakes in the game last night, same with Memorial, but overcame them in the 2H. Pretty sure both teams had 11+ penalties throughout the game too.

Every time we play Memorial it’s….Mr. Hurley.” That’s pretty low-rent there, Coach. I’m surprised he said that publicly.

Good question for @Bobref Does it matter if the ball crosses over the sideline in the air before crossing the goal line plane? The answer, of course, is “it depends.” If the runner is grounded, as long as he crosses the plane inside the pylon the goal line extends, and the ball can be outside the pylon. The plane extends through the sideline. If the runner is airborne, however, the ball has to pass inside (or over) the pylon for the TD. Otherwise, it’s out of bounds where the ball crosses the plane of the sideline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had someone send me these screen shots from the video clip from twitter. Based on your explanation, and by this picture, should’ve been a TD. And again, why some frustration is probably warranted from Coach Salters. What would that have made the score at the time? Obviously would be a momentum shift either direction based on the call, either a TD or 4th down stop. Not surprised by the answers from the Memorial faithful though, I wouldn’t want to admit it was a blatant missed call that went in my favor either. And with that, it’s on to rivalry week!

I never knew that the runner being grounded or airborne makes such a critical difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see a Memorial sideline video of this, but I’m looking at a TD right now. I believe the call on the field said he stepped out on the 2 when he lunged forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, if you can make that call from 2 still pics, we need to sign you up and get you a whistle! Unfortunately, there’s no official at the pylon where we’d like to have one.

Goal line mechanics require the wing official on that sideline to move from the 5 directly to the goal line as soon as the ball is snapped. 11 minutes ago, FootballFan2000 said: here is clip of the play you can slow down and try to see.

Error in goal line mechanics by that wing official makes it easy to dispute the call. Sometimes we are our own worst enemies. This is from the C&P Article: On fourth-and-goal, Vincennes quarterback Xander Hunt — who Memorial coach John Hurley said he's “not too sure he’s not the most athletic kid in our conference" — dove for the end zone, knocking over the pylon on the goal line. But he was ruled out. The officials appeared to have said his diving attempt was out of play, which is what Hurley thought before the referees indicated the call.

Not surprised by the answers from the Memorial faithful though, I wouldn’t want to admit it was a blatant missed call that went in my favor either. The two pieces of info we can glean from those pictures are that (a) Hunt did go airborne, and (b) the ball hit the pylon from the inside. But we don’t know whether or not his foot touched the sideline or if the ball crossed the sideline plane before doing so. If it did, it was down at that point.
