Official Iowa vs Purdue Thread

Incredible. When will that rule be thrown out? The ball hitting the pylon and going out should be at the 1, worst case..
Nope unfortunately. The pylon is part of the end zone. If the ball touches the pylon in possession of an offensive player, it’s a touchdown. If the ball is fumbled and hits the pylon, it’s the same as if it rolled out the back of the end zone.

The call was correct. It just is amazing that Iowa continues to catch breaks like that.

Yeah. Anywhere else on the field a fumble going forward out of bounds comes back to the place it was fumbled. It would be simple to do that there as well.
It hit the pylon, which is part of the goal line. The kid would have been better to step out of bounce, but you cannot fault the effort.
If Purdue can continue to burn clock even if they do not score, EIU is in trouble. One more touchdown and its over.
