As usual the media has provided no insight on the ruling. What is the rule in college football for:
1. Forward motion stopped?
Irregardless of Dyers knee or wrist hitting the ground (or not), his forward motion was definitely stopped as he was on top of Oregon tackler. Even Dyer stopped running.
2. Wrist or knee being down?
Yahoo Sports Matt Hinton asks:
"Was Dyer's knee or wrist down on the 37-yard run that put Auburn in position for the game-winning field goal with two minutes to play?"
Knee OR wrist writes Hinton. Dyers left wrist most definitely touches the ground, his knee does not. So what is the rule?
