Flashback to 2005

  • Seeing Roark running down the left sideline late in the 3rd quarter, I immediately thought about the play in 2005 when Woodson (also #3) was leading UK down field for a tying touchdown against UofL. Exact same place on the field where Woodson fumbled. UofL recovered and ran out the clock for the win. Fortunately this time it was not ruled a fumble.
    Considering UK's luck on the football field I was expecting the worse.

    Happened right in front of me in 2005 as it did yesterday. Can't say that the same thoughts did not cross my mind. BTW.. Woodsen was out of bounds touching the ball, should have been dead ball, UK possession. We got screwed on that call. So glad it did not happen to us yesterday.
    Go Cats!

    I was in the stands that day. That play was excruciating.

    In the press box Saturday, I never saw a replay of the Roark fumble but those that did were saying it was going to be UT's ball. I had one of those, "here we go again" UT moments. Thought that was the point the game was going to turn. That's the type of call that UT has gotten 1000x over the last 26 years.

    Not this time.

  • Watching the replay it was obvious that Roark fumbled. The camera angle wasn't the best in determining who recovered the ball. Somehow someway they gave it to UK. I guess this finally ends the anti-UK conspiracy theory with the officials.

    Looking at the replay i could SWEAR that a UK player flipped the ball to the referee walking away from the pile.
    I think we got it.

  • just to set this straight with regards to the Woodson fumble, after Woodson fumbled before possession could be regained by either team a player touched the ball in bounds while he himself was out of bounds. this should have caused the play and the ball to be dead and for UK to retain possession.

    *see the Raider/Chargers Thursday night game for the correct way to handle this issue (i.e. Vincent Brown WR for San Diego juggled and caught a TD pass, however before he was able to gain possession a Raider defender touched the juggled ball while also simultaneously being out of bounds. Ruling, incomplete pass.

    Didn't go into all the details but, right - I understand that..
    It also happened the very next week, Aub/LSU I believe and the correct call was made... If i recall correctly ESPN made a big deal out of us geting hosed on that call.
    Go Cats!
    cheers
