That's on the WR. You have to know where you are on the field. It was a great throw. You gotta stay on bounds.

I'm not an athlete in the slightest, but all he needed to do was move his left foot like 6 inches further in bounds and it's a catch. Looks like he caught it basically in stride too

Its not a great throw. Its a ball out of bound vs cover 0. He needs to keep in anywhere away from the sideline

No it wasn't. If he would have ran up the hash he would have caught it in bounds.

“ Its a ball out of bound”

Except it’s easily in bounds with even mediocre footwork.

He didn’t exactly earn the benefit of the doubt throughout the rest of the game, but yeah this is a tough one.

Yeah but that's what you wanted him to show when the game was on the line. He looked like total ass for most of the game but at least he was able to put together something.

Didn’t he hurt his throwing arm earlier in the game?

I saw his reactions and looked for the flag display because I saw the same thing.

The fact there wasn’t a hold called on this play is still infuriating.

you basically have to kill a dude to get holding called in big 10 games, they called one on each team today and both were comically blatent

And one of them would've had Hoover flat on his back already if we wasn't being egregiously held.

This game ending would've been controversial af if they got away with it.

That was the best ball he threw all game. His arm hurting, 3 defenders in his face and still throws an absolute dime. The receiver was wide open

People just love to act like players are in madden and can’t have human reactions. Dude stood in there and threw it giving his guy a real chance. Didn’t pan out and was close it is what it is.

That’s what I’m saying Marsh supposed to be a 1st round pick you gotta drag that toe big dog in that scenario Hoover had the whole defense in his face.

He got fucking pummeled like three plays before too

3 defenders being held but what gives
