Upon further review… touchdown CAL!
(Written by kencraw)
OK, I finally got a chance to watch the replay of the “fumble” that was returned by Shaq for a TD. Sorry, that was a touchdown for Cal. Goff is a quarterback, he often holds the ball in one hand. There’s nothing to indicate in the video that when he had it in one hand that he didn’t have control of it and he was WAAAAY over the goal line before he bumps into a helmet and the ball comes loose.
Cal got the short end of that call on the field.
(I know, know, crying over spilled milk, etc.)

I thought so ! completely different game, even if you only say that has an impact of making it 21-14. True, we didn’t deal well with the adversity and this bizarre play totally changed the complexion of the game.

I agree that the reply showed it a touchdown. However, I think it was a stupid call. A QB sneak is a low dive, not a leap. Only running backs should leap over the goal line because they have two arms on the ball. QB’s carry the ball with one hand.

Completely agree Rick. It was a stupid call. On top of the low vs. leap, there’s the fact that Goff is NEVER and I mean NEVER under center for the snap. It’s just asking for trouble to have him go under center for any “trick” play.
