The dude says he remembers calling some of his JV games.

I guess he could be mistaken. Not sure it really matters…

It is very easy to trust one memory over another . . . he is official . . .

[RaginDave]

It was either step out of bounds or not get the first down. He got the first down & His momentum carried him OB. The first down won them the game flat out. There wasn't going to be a disaster because Dallas sent the message they were gonna throw their way to a win which was sure fire recipe for losing the game. And yes Dak Prescott is extremely overrated, especially in his own mind.

Not true, he got the first down by allot, he should have slid at that point, but as someone else correctly pointed out, Elijah felt he could have scored and that was what he was trying to do. It was 2 & 9, he got well over 9 yards, if he gets down right away after the first down the game is over at that point.

Go to the 13:32 mark of the above video, you can clearly see all he had to do was slide down and get touched and he would have been fine. He made a mistake, that is okay it did not cost his team. In the future I am sure he was told get down young man.

For how close he was to the sideline they sure seemed to go out of their way to say he made a mistake. Im not convinced. I havent seen an RB slide that close to the sideline. He was stepping on the hash lines. When someone slides one leg bends and one arm falls back, either could have still touched sideline even with a slide.

The other option was to cut back to the middle of the field once he had the first down and give yourself up.

As I stated he had the first by a decent amount at that point.

Instead of trying to say he did something wrong, too bad announcers didnt spend their time talking about this day: (how many times has a p5 qb that lost to the Cajuns taken an NFL team to conf final?)

[CajunVic]

. . . going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say the extra yards may have been more of an asset than the extra time . . . besides like the previous poster points out . . . He is awefully close to the sideline from far before the line to gain to assume one with pressure that close can go down without brushing the out of bounds line. . .

How many P5 QBs have lost to the Cajuns?

[RaginDave]

2 that I know of. And one of them did not make it to the NFL.

Also chase Bryce at app was a p5 qb at one time.

when an RB runs normally ball is held by arm closest to sideline. if someone cuts back now neither arm is facing sideline. wouldnt that make a fumble possible?

I don't know.

If the AD scheduled 3 a year, there would be a lot more.

ahhh nice tidbit, we will have to keep our eye on him

[CajunVic]

. . . no running back would cut back inbounds nor would one be allowed to under those circumstances . . . let it go . . .

[CajunVic]

ahhh nice tidbit, we will have to keep our eye on him

. . . what will he be doing when you keep that eye . . .

[Jacob81]

. . . what will he be doing when you keep that eye . . .

I was only referencing p5 QBs the Cajuns have beaten. Purdy is the only one to get to conference finals I’m pretty sure.
