The ref made a judgement call on whether he was forced out by contact and ruled that he was. Replay confirmed he was touched. Whether or not we feel like he was forced out has no bearing, it's up to the official. The ruling stands.

The ref called it as he saw it within the rules. This is a judgement call made in a split second.

There was contact.. Until they come up with a better review on these controversial plays, the call stands!

if he was just touched, he had every right to go out and come back in. besides, check out 3:46 left to play, Moore gets his arm held right in front of the ref and there is no call. Would have been a touchdown for sure.

The cornerback did what he was taught to do which squeezed the receiver out. Reilly made a great effort by reestablishing himself inbounds and caught the winning touchdown.

Ask 1982 Penn State's Mike McCloskey if it was a legal catch.

To me it clearly shows the defender making contact with the receiver and in my opinion the defender was running along side of the Rielly at an angle that was forcing him out of bounds. Like everyone is saying Nebraska has had it fair share of shady calls. Good call, live with it MSU.

If you look at the replay from a different angle, which was never shown by ESPN because they didn't have it, I am guessing....It is clear he was forced out by the MSU player...it wasn't incidental contact at all and he even fell into Reilly . The Ref made the right call

it is a judgement call. when a defensive player squeezes the sideline "urging" the offensive player out of bounds. if it is ruled forced out of bounds and their was contact it is the correct call. Mich St fans won't like it but they got away with calls we didn't like too so yes, I feel it was right.

The trajectory of the MSU player at the beginning of the play appears to be angling the NU player out of bonds by slight contact.

by the letter of the rule, it was the correct call. iintent or degree is not relevant. reilly went out due to contact, end of story. touchdown huskers

Any contact is contact. The rule doesn't say it has to be a hard push.

It was a fair call. Every team has been screwed by a refs call at some point. (Anyone remember the last second added on for the Texas game a few years ago?) We've had our share of shady calls. Deal with it.

While it was harder to see from the tv angles, there were fans who had their camera phones shooting from the north end zone. The MSU guy clearly bumps Reilly off his route and o.o.b. Intended or not, contact is contact.

The defensive players contact changed the receiver's direction of running toward and into the out of bounds territory.

Who was in a better position to see the play (a judgement call), the referee watching from 10 yards away, or the television commentator relying on three angles that proved nothing definitive? And remember, there were still 17 seconds left in the game and the Spartans were reeling.

No. The review of the call was correct. Not reviewable but the call was incorrect. Glad we won!

the rule doesn't say he has to be forced out. It says he went out of bounds, and there was "contact". it was the correct call. No where does the rule say "forced"

I'll take the win, but didn't look to me like he was forced out. The referee has to make a split second call, so either way. If he calls it the other way is there enough to overturn it and call it a touchdown?

His call wasn't reviewable once they established that there was some contact. If he'd gone the other way, there also would have been no review.

NU needs a freshman to have a big time impact. Hopefully this is the one.

I've given up any hope of anyone being an impact player until they prove they can actually perform. Too many "BUSTS", including the team, overall.

Having watched him several times now, he needs to develop physically, and even more importantly, must focus on the mental game. He has too many lapses at the high school level. That will be magnified in the B1G

The only recent freshman I thought would be an impact player was Raiola. Barney was a pleasant surprise.

We replaced 3 coordinators and basically lost our d-line. I haven’t seen any evidence that our o-line will be good next year. We also lost most of our running back room. We’re probably not going to be much better next year than this year.

If Coach Ruhl had made more changes after year 1 (OC, special teams) I would be more optimistic for year 3. But after three games, extra practices, and a bowl game (barely) this year, I haven't seen much to make me think things will be that much better next year.
