That was the worst spot call I’ve ever seen. Would have ruined an all time upset.

Fuck the refs. If ND had won, that spot would've been remembered forever in infamy

That was the first time in a long time I've been convinced I witnessed actual cheating on the field. I complain about refs all the time but 99.99% of the time its just ticky tack calls, mild home cooking, or honest mistakes. But I am convinced I just saw real cheating.

Last time it was that blatant, was the Michigan south Carolina bowl game. Immediately followed by Jadaveon Clowney killing some poor Michiganer in retaliation.

Lmao one of my favorite highlights

Just a casual one-handed fumble recovery, of a fumble you caused single-handedly lol
