The NCAA ain't about to take a trophy away from any SEC or Big 12 school.

We'll this NCAA administration cant walk and chew gum at the same time so I dont think any of these schools have anything to worry about.

UC football coach Tommy Tuberville mentioned on his weekly radio show Thursday night that the Big Ten had notified the school this week that the incorrect call was made on the Munchie Legaux touchdown reversal in last week’s game at Illinois, a 45-17 Bearcats loss.

Tuberville today declined comment when asked to elaborate, but a UC source confirmed that the Big Ten had been in touch with UC to say that the replay call was wrong.

UC athletic director Whit Babcock said in a statement today:

“I’m certainly disappointed, as it really impacted the momentum of the game and our kids fought so hard to come back from down 21 (points). But there is nothing we can do about it. We will focus on what we can control, and that’s the next 10 or 11 games of the season.”

In the game, UC’s Tony Miliano made a 37-yard field goal to pull UC within 11 points, 21-10, with 11:02 left in the third period.

A key sequence came just a few minutes later, when Legaux appeared to score on a 1-yard TD run. The PAT would have made it 21-17, but the TD was overturned upon review, with the call that Legaux actaully had fumbled the ball forward.

UC then nearly got the ball back again when linebacker Nick Temple appeared to possibly recover a fumble, but that review also went against UC.

In his postgame press conference, Tuberville said:

“(Legaux) said he got it across and one of their guys ripped it out. Unfortuantely they reversed it, but it’s got to be conclusive. It just took the air out of us.”

One day later, Tuberville said:

“I’m not gonna throw anybody under bus. I was on the national rules committee when the (replay) ruling was put in. … There must have been some different angles they saw it from, because the ones we got on film, there was nothing there you could reverse it on. In the pressbox they must have had another one.”

There being many other plays in the game, Tuberville made another thing clear:

“Just to put it bluntly, they beat us pretty good.”

The Enquirer also has contacted the Big Ten office for comment. At this writing, there has not been a response.

is it?

not sure why A&M keeps giving Bama those uncontested passing routes. Its like they are playing prevent from the start of the game

[aTm]

I don't know about any prevent but it was clear that if you ranked the talent on any random play when Bama had the ball that at least 9 of the best 11 were Alabama offensive players.

[eCat]

A&M was giving Bama 8 -12 yard passes in the first half and I don't know why other than they were scared of getting burned on a big yardage situation

Still, I thought A&M played one helluva second half against the #1 team in the nation.

[aTm]

Out of curiosity, was that the worst defensive performance in Alabama history?

[aTm]

Or rather, most yards by an opponent not really worst performance.

[AlabamAlum]

Yes, total yards-wise. Coincidentally, the second worse was against Ole Miss and we won that game, too. I guess defense is overrated.

[AlabamAlum]

Apparently, we gave up 611 yards to LSU as our #2 most yards given up. We lost that game. 606 yards was Ole Miss game. So we are 2-1 all-time in games where we allowed 600+ yards.

[Jungle Rat]

Why did Bammer let off the gas?

Die Kansas

Why does Rice hate Charlie Weis?

He eats to much rice?
