Can the readership help be out with a couple of questions? I didn't understand a couple of plays from Saturday's game.
On the play where the Appalachian State kick returner muffed the catch and then ended batting the ball out of the rear of the endzone----why was that not a safety? He touched the ball in the field of play. Is possession required in order for it to be a safety?
Then on the Ross Comis late hit. I thought once the play stepped out of bounds, the play was over and so the late hit was a dead ball foul. Then after that there were multiple fouls in the scrum resulting from the late hit. The officials initially said the foul on Comis would be enforced, but then offset everything. I though UMass should have had the ball 15 yards from where the late hit occurred and then offsets on both sides. ..
