    When you come OVER the top of a pile you are going to get that call no matter what. I agree, he really didn't light anyone up, but it was the intent to do so. There is a right way and a wrong way. The refs are trying to cut down on concussions, and he could have done that to someone...or maybe himself.

    Lol you are right, 2-14.

    Nah this team has had a chance to win the first 3 games and Minnesota is a tough team. Maybe 5-11 or 6-10 realistically.

    not when you're trying to avoid contact, which is what it l'd think he was trying to do when he makes the effort to jump over based on him turning his body and arcing to avoid contacting people in the pile. By the letter of the law(or nil rules) they are not supposed to throw that flag if there isn't forceful contact to a defenseless player and Lewan made NO contact with anyone not on their feet

    When you run full speed at a pile of players and go over the top of them...it's pretty hard for them to read his mind and believe he was only avoiding contact. 9 times out of 10 it's getting called.

    Lewan's reputation I'm sure didn't help either.

    There is zero chance you good run a play and get the next play off in 5 seconds. You might have 4-5 secs run off the clock on a 5 yard out (clocks are not digital) and no chance you get that wr and everyone else lined up and hold for 1 count to hike the ball in 5 secs. 8-10 secs is the fastest Ive seen in college and when you go that fast under that duress (last play of the game), you have a high incidence of false start which is game over. Or someone misses a block or runs the wrong route. Only time I'd try this is to shorten a fg try and then you gun an out. Either he catches it and is instantly out of bounds it you throw it over his head.

    We've seen plenty of teams try this, get the first down but don't get the last play off. That would make this loss even worse!
