78aztec82 is 100 percent correct... what the hell were/are some of you watching? I replayed both plays numerous times and... unless you tell me that a block that starts above the waist can become an illegal block because a defender falls clumsily (sp) or a blockers arms ultimately slide down the body, then there was nothing wrong and it was a terrible call. and, agree on the pass in the endzone.. albeit (great word) I'll say maybe an inch at most going forward...forward is forward. the fact the ball went off Dingwell's back and went backwards makes it appear the ball couldn't have been going forward, but it was.. both the arm and the ball.

Not the correct call. Happens all the time and is rarely called if ever on a pick 6. Our guy hit him right around the hip and he went down. Football play 100% of the time. I looked at it several times, and I thought the first contact was with the dude's elbow and arm. Then, Beed kinda slid down and got him on his hip, then knees. It would have been a better no-call.

Sad thing is, he didn't even need to block the guy. I'm pretty sure he would have got in, without a block. Pretty sure? Replace it with 100% sure, he was already going into the endzone and the block was 15 yards behind the play. And it wasn't illegal, but much like Chad Bunn screwing us in Provo in 2010....it is history now, BYU gets another miracle call and "wins" again.

The Umpire made the call. I was at the game and the play happend right in front of me. He was trailing the play, so he saw the block from the back side view from a long way away. Horrible call!

It didn't seem to be below the waist, but I think they called it because he left his feet. By doing so it was considered a dangerous move. I do not think that it would have been called if he had not left his feet. Killer game changer call.

Calls get made all the time that are questionable, but even so, State had many opportunities to score TD's and walked away with 2 FG's.
