NCAA Football Thread 2014-2015

Idk. You couldn't see whether his knee was down or not. He basically didn't get in anyway.

Image taken from http://247sports.com/Bolt/Vote-Should-L ... n-34248466. There is a video of the first pic, to make things clearer.

When looking at any one image by itself, you cannot tell. For instance, in the first pic above, you can clearly see that his knee is NOT down. But you can't tell where the ball is. In the second pic, you can clearly see that the ball is BREAKING THE PLANE, but you can't see his knee (the circle that someone drew may or may not be his knee).

However, look how far the ball is ABOVE the ground in pic 1. It's actually a little lower (a couple of milliseconds later in time) than in pic 2. And, his knee is not down in pic 1. That means that, when the ball is 9"-12" off the ground, his knee is NOT on the ground. Then looking at pic 2, the ball is clearly 9-12" off the ground, and it is BREAKING THE PLANE. Since the ball is the same distance above the ground, you can conclude that these stills are taken at the same moment in time.

At that moment, his knee is not down and the ball is breaking the plane. How can this be any clearer?

Does the NCAA only look at 1 camera angle at a time? They don't have multiple monitors that they can sync together to run simultaneously, then stop, and analyze a single instant from multiple angles all at once?

Or, is that tech too advanced for the NCAA, but me (some yahoo with a basic computer at work with 2 monitors and an internet connection) can muster?

Stanford feels your pain.

Where is his other knee? I honestly can't tell. But even if he made that touchdown I think ND wins that game.

An I see it now. That cleared it up.

That's part of the game though. Sorry
