I know: The game is over, and Louisville won. However...

The Cards won by seven points that (in my opinion) should never have been on the board: The "scoop and score" by the defense.

I pulled up the replay on ESPN3 and took a video of my computer screen (sorry about the quality).

I must admit, it is a very close call either way you want to see it. One thing that is very clear though: The defender's helmet strikes Lynch's arm in the direction from his right side to his left. If his arm was not going forward before, during, or after the contact: How does the ball fly forward 5+ yards down the field? Remember that by rule: Any intentional forward movement of the HAND or arm starts the forward pass, and when in question, the ball is passed and not fumbled. My common sense (and the laws of physics) tells me:
If Lynch (U of M QB) is hit in an east to west direction, and the ball travels away from him in a south to north direction for 5+ yards, there had to be some forward motion of his hand or arm.

I know: "It is, what it is". I wasn't expecting to win this game. I actually wish the Cardinals all the success in the world (unless you're playing my Tigers). I simply would like to hear what Louisville fans' objective opinions are regarding this particular play...

The replay official verified. therefore it was a good touchdown!
