And, what should have been a game ender for Cal was almost a huge mistake. :duh:

If I'm a coach I tell my kids to assume every ball on the ground is live, and act accordingly.

    It's happened 3 times in the last two weeks. I'm going to assume they didn't make the ball heavier this year, so I guess it is cool to drop the ball at the goal line. I miss Barry Sanders. :)

    There were also a couple of new dumb moves this year as well:

    The Western Michigan kid recovering a fumble as he is going out of bounds and throwing it back in play

    The South Carolina St. kid not downing the kick off in the endzone and throwing the ball to the referee

    I've never understood why a player would want to drop the ball right at the goal line anyway. It's so frustrating. Especially after everyone has already seen it turn into a fumble before.

    The ball may not be heavier this year, but what about the air they're putting in it??

    The WMU play blew my mind, almost had a meltdown had they lost.

    I think the kids today are much smarter. This has been going on for years. Back then you'd only read about it. Today, it almost eclipses the highlights on multiple tv sports stations.
