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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely not. This is NOT what our Founding Fathers had in mind, not that they are not turning in their graves with this socialist mess we've gotten ourselves into. I don't play football, I don't/can't go to the games and so this is taxation without representation.

Each game we are getting better and our Defense is just as strong as they were the first game. It is only a matter of time for the Offense to open up and showcase all the young talent on the team. Not to mention every team left has struggles with stopping offenses. Our D will shut down their runs.

I think they'd be able to get to something like 7-5 if they still had some offensive weapons. But the lack of receivers and backs is going to make it difficult. If they do get to a bowl, it will be due to the defense.
