The ball would have been at the USF 19. The play was difficult tos see full speed, but in slow-motion replay, it was clearly not interference.
I would like an explanation was well.
FAU should remember USF's final TD. That was classless and I'm sure for poll points.
No offense, but if you guys were concerned about it… stop the run. Hell you did it all damned day against us, as my chewed up fingernails will attest to.
If FAU's defense wanted to give up and stop playing ball with 50 seconds left, then I have no problem with putting another TD up on the board. We didn't pass it, we ran it right at you. What, is our running back just supposed to fall down?
It would have been nice to put a backup RB in there at that point, but we didn't have one. Ford was suspended, Taylor was hurt after a late whistle allowed a dogpile on his knee, and Plancher is injured. So Ben had to keep running it.
Anyway, it's done. People can complain and moan all they want, but the game's over. I'd like to complain a little bit about that punt that should have been downed on the 1/2 yard line, but it matters little at this point.
GO BULLS!
It is what it is. We woulda done the same thing.

We could have burned two timeouts and they still could have taken a knee–there was only 29 seconds left! USF was only thinking about themselves and their Top 10 ranking! We would not do the same thing–HS would not do that!!!!!!!! They wanted the pollsters to only see the score and believe that it was not close! That's the bottom line!!!!!!
I'm looking forward to 2010!

We will also remember the score being run-up on us with 29 seconds left in the game.
:
You had me till there…. we RAN THE BALL…. you DIDN'T TACKLE… how is that running up the score? Also, If I remember correctly, it was still pretty close at that point (23-28 at the time). Your QB had been throwing lasers all afternoon and any crossing pattern could have changed the game. Your kicker missed what? 3 field goals? I wasn't the only one in the east endzone praying in those last few minutes… Your team played a hell of a game and will be a force in the next few years. FAU's fans seemed knowledgeable and courteous and other than a massive sun burn we had a blast. Good luck in the future… but let it go.

I hope we have many great years with USF. It appears Coach L. and Coach S. have a mutual respect for each other. Best of luck to both teams - it was a GREAT game !!!
GO OWLS !!!!!!

The runs were sweeps. The QB could have taken a knee or handed off up the middle.
Karma, baby.

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Actually.. that punt should not of been on the 1.5 yard line.. He had the ball in his position when his shoulder touched the line… touchback.

If we were in the top 10 for the first time in school history and played a tough game against unranked and little know program I would be upset if we didn't put some points on the board at the end. That's real college football, let's not get high and mighty about what we or Howard would do.
If we executed on a few plays and/or got a break on a few calls we would/could have won the game we should be extremely proud to be an OWL right now!
GO OWLS!
