Aside from ECU, the big story of the day is the controversial call that took place during yesterday's game between BYU and Washington, a game that possibly could end coach Tyrone Willingham's tenure at Washington.
Washington quarterback Jake Locker scrambled for a potential game tying touchdown. In the end zone, Locker was penalized 15 yards for what the officials called "excessive celebrating" with two seconds left. The penalty pushed the extra point back, and the PAT was blocked by BYU, preserving the victory.
This could end up being the worst call of the college football season. In no way should this have been a penalty. I want one of the refs to score a game tying touchdown with two seconds left in a game and see how they react. Any kid would have done the same thing Locker did. Absolutely horrible call.
Tim Tebow and the Florida Gators ended their slide against Miami, winning 26-3. I think every person living in America now knows that Tebow went to the Philippines in the off-season.
Michigan survived a scare from Miami (OH), winning 16-6. The offense looked a little better but still needs a lot of tweaking. I also think that Rodriguez should dump the two quarterback system. Bringing in Sheridan yesterday killed all the momentum Steven Threet had which led to Miami threatening to score multiple times.
You know who also survived a scare yesterday - Notre Dame. I can not believe this team almost lost to San Diego State, who as you might know, lost to Cal Poly.

This is not a horrible call. It is a horrible rule. The rule book specifically states that it is a 15 yd penalty for throwing the ball in the air as a TD celebration.
Don't blame the refs. They did their job. Blame the rule book.
