- Fisher01 - 11:27am 11/17/24
- Fine, but also make the fair catch call under the existing rules. Clown show. [NT] - Frank L - 12:52pm 11/17/24
- Right, so then give all 11 guys on offense receiver numbers and tell the defense to figure it out... - SteveM - 9:16am 11/17/24
- Worth a shot…but seriously, the rule deserves a look at the end of the season… - TyroneIrish - 11:25am 11/17/24
- The play is fine if you have the correct lineman numbers on the field. ND did not. - McIrish - 12:29pm 11/17/24

- That’s what Freeman was mouthing. [NT] - whatsamataU - 9:42am 11/17/24
- ND probably did not specify to the refs the number of players who would wear receiver numbers. [NT]

- I had wondered about this detail. Perhaps small but very important - ndphysics - 5:12pm 11/17/24
- The ACC is no friend to Notre Dame. - AlbanyIRISH - 7:50am 11/17/24
- It would appear that way… [NT] - TyroneIrish - 8:27am 11/17/24

- “Cost/Benefit Ratio” for continuing the debate isn’t worth it…we won handily. [NT]

- Yep. Also besides pass interference so inconsistently called, I hate inadvertent face mask - THEISMANCARR - 11:14am 11/17/24
- Could not agree more… - TyroneIrish - 11:33am 11/17/24
- The calls weren't "facemask" penalties. They were for illegal hands to the face - McIrish - 12:22pm 11/17/24
- Yup, and the ones I saw looked like legit calls, especially the one on 78 bringing back - Frank L - 12:50pm 11/17/24
- Didn't 78 basically extend his arms sideways and the defender ran into his hand? Even if it was - THEISMANCARR - 1:09am 11/18/24

- I've heard several explanations & none that put the play to rest. - ELP - 7:34am 11/17/24
