You could take what I know about football, put it all in a thimbel, and it would still rattle around like a b-b in a boxcar. So enlighten me “touched the ball”....where why, how, and what does it mean?!?!?!

I still do not think that the coach touched it. Either way, it was a most unusual play. Why not name the coach because by morning he would have been outed by the national media anyhow.

Sorry, I was so rattled....Someone not a player touched the football on the field of play during the game and they keep showing his face and mentioned his name....Musberger and Hirbstreet are having an orgasm on the air...Clearly shadenfreud(spell)

...put it like this...the OFFICIALS, who know all about everything there is to know about football, all had the “WTF” look about them. It’s the screwiest play/ruling/ruling/new/ruling/ I’ve ever seen.

When the ball is in play, no one not on the field of play (legally) is allowed to touch the ball. Doing so is considered an illegal toching, and comes with an unsportsmanlike penalty.

Also on that play, it looked like half the texass coaches were on the field. That should have been a flag as well.
