I have the game recorded and would like to review that one play without having to watch the entire game. I tried fast-forwarding it to catch it where I thought it was, but no luck.

It was a missed targeting call. The commentators both agreed it was a missed call.

I actually really like the commentators that have done these learfield games this season. It’s refreshing to have them admit when a call is or isn’t good. They noted on the first JMU drive, the missed PI call.

An overall **** show by the refs.

Did they comment on it after the benefit of replay? Have people seen a replay they could post on here? (I wasn't able to record the game). From my vantage sitting right under the press box I thought the guy led with his shoulder, but hard to tell at full speed from a distance.

Doesn't matter if it was his shoulder or not he hit Hyman square in the head in a defenseless position. I watched it a bunch of times and have no idea what the refs were looking at.

I agree we would have scored. I wanted that window dressing score.

Can you imagine if this was a one score game and that happened? They took the ball from one team about to score and then give it to the other team with a first down and 15 extra yards. YIKES!

When I watched the Tivo’d broadcast it appeared to me he lowered his head and went helmet to helmet.

Haven’t seen that specific clip online, but the whole game is watchable at CAA.tv archives. Hopefully this link will work: https://portal.stretchinternet.com/caa/p...Type=video

The hit happens at 2:12 into the CAA video (about 6:16 left in the third). It looks intentional, and he clearly felt the hit to his head. The replay captures it pretty well. Maybe they weren’t looking, but that one was blatent and should have been called.

I recorded the game and watched the play in question a few times one time in slow motion. Definitely a helmet to helmet hit. In slow-mo I could see an official about 5 yards away watching the play with perfect view of the hit. Only pass I might give the official is that he was watching to see if the ball was dislodged during the hit. Still should have seen the helmet to helmet contact though.

Forgive me if this was already posted, but according to jmurivals website, the targeting call against Maginley has been overturned by the CAA. He will be eligible to play next week. Great news and good job by the CAA by getting it right.

I mentioned this before. I'm in 103 behind the defensive bench - 4th row. I happened more or less right in front of me. The Field Judge was getting an earful from the coaches and he was literally grinning as he was patting his shoulder. Don't know if the shoulder-patting was to indicate the Maine guy led with the shoulder or that our WR got hit in the shoulder. It sure looked like textbook targeting to me.

Either way, as the idiots in the booth made all too clear in the 4th quarter, the refs upstairs are supposed to be looking at those hits and correcting targeting calls that get missed on the field. It will be interesting to see if the league retroactively assesses the targeting on the Maine DB and he sits out for a half. I believe they can do that, right?

Good news for Maginley though. It boggles the mind how the refs can get both calls exactly wrong with the ability to review on replay.

Houston has commented about how he shared some encouraging words with Harysimiak after last year's game at Maine. Something to the effect of "keep doing what you're doing".

This year I saw them have a lengthy chat at midfield after the game. I can definitely sense a lot of respect between the two coaches. If he weren't Maine's HC, Houston probably wouldn't hesitate to have him in his group of assistants.

My group had the same thought.

I've been thinking the same thing lately. He needs to win more in Maine first. Get to the playoffs a handful of times.

The only problem with Harasymiak as a future potential candidate to replace Houston is going by his bio all his ties appear to be to New England.

VU survives a bad Lehigh team but plays Temple close. I think we beat Maine by 2 TDs, but I could still see a world where they finish tied for 2nd or 3rd in CAA play.

I think SBU is going to at least tie for 2nd place..We'll see a couple of months from now..
