I remember thinking that was a great play but at the same time thinking he's going to get some future quarterbacks hurt bc defenders will be wary of the fake slide. He still had an easy first down if he waited, so this play probably will be shown to other quarterbacks. This is the first slide that a quarterback did too early that I can remember that cost a game

#3 from Pitt being the most selfish person on the team and the Pitt QB forgetting that running out of bounds to get the first down is a thing is pure comedy

[@MrTwarner]

The ACC woke up and chose chaos today (watching this as UNC loses to UVA)

[@jmg999]

The whole world saw what the Pitt DB did, so I wanted to highlight something that went under the radar. The play at 4:03 was a fourth-and-one w/ 20 seconds remaining. The game was on the line, and for the second play in a row, Ke'Shawn Williams made an important grab. After this play, he jumped up and ran the ball over to the ref, then ran back to his spot on the line in order to be set, when the ball was snapped. SO many of these receivers in recent years have been catching balls for first downs late in the game, then jumping up to throw their arm downfield to indicate a first down. Really?!? Who the F cares?!? You're losing, and you're out of time. Save as much time as you can, and put your team in a position to win. Stop celebrating every little action on the field and costing your team time on the clock.

If this was the NFL, sure. But in the NCAA the clock is stopped until they spot the ball, something the officials will have a hard time doing without the ball.

For those with no clue. A qb is rule down where he initiates the slide because at that point no one can touch a sliding qb so it’s not fair that you can get forward progress for doing something no one can physically contest.

[@keruetz]

Thanks for doing these. Fantastic ending.

[@EvanEscher]

The Pitt QB didn't need to slide. He could have ran out-of-bounds after picking up the first down since WF only had 2 timeouts left with :50 left. Assuming each play takes 4 seconds, Pitt would have run out the clock: -1st down (:46 left, timeout WF) -2nd down (:42 left, timeout WF) -3rd down (:38 left, WF no timeouts remaining, clock runs out) Even if each play only took 3 seconds, there would have been :01 left on 4th down, meaning they could have taken a knee.

I'm a Pitt fan and bullshit like this always happens when we play teams below the Mason Dixon line, its just the price of doing business in the ACC as an outsider.Take for example how Jordan travis (FSU-Duke game) initiated a slide a full yard and a half before the sticks and was given a first down on a critical 3rd down.The ACC protects their blue-bloods and shits on everyone else.@@markd.5471

[@isurrender3640]

If you watch the video it’s clear that he starts the process of sliding a yard before the 1st down.

[@markd.5471]

​@@isurrender3640 How does the rule define "the process of sliding?" I interpret a "sliding" to mean when a player leaving his feet. Technically, yes he tucks the ball and *starts* to slide before the first down. But the ball looks well beyond the line to gain, when he leaves his feet and holds possession parallel to the ground. Should football be so micromanaged?

[@FeezFBaby]

​@@markd.5471No reason to slides there bro! U pick up a 1st down & game is over! He had a blocker in front of him blocking the 1 defender that can make a tackle on him smh! Why slide???

Did they review the final TD? The ball looks a little short of the goal line when his knee touched. Also, that QB did start the process(dropping his body) of sliding about 1 yard short of the first down.

[@andyjackson4505]

They did and said the call stands. I’m a Wake fan and I don’t understand why there aren’t goal line cams at our stadium. It looks like the nose of the ball could be over the front of the goal line when his knee hits and from the angle shown it was inconclusive so it stands.

I love that the sliding shyt came back to bite a punk qb in the azz. If he runs the ball like a fkn man the ref doesn’t have to enforce that rule (fair rule I might add) where they rule you down where you start the slide. This in my opinion tells the qb it cost to treat you like a kid amongst men

It was the correct call. The pitt qb made a mistake.

[@nedcassley5169]

​@jwiles545 The quarterback wasn't at risk of being tackled and didn't slide. After making the 1st down he dropped to the turf so his momentum didn't take him out of bounds. The refs made a blunder by trying to make themselves responsible for the final score instead of allowing football players determine it by playing football.

[@jwiles545]

@@nedcassley5169 Dropped to the turf or slid is irrelevant. The rule is the same either way. But he actually did slide. And he started it before he got to the first down marker. Don''t like the rule, blame Kenny Pickett.

[@nedcassley5169]

@jwiles545 No. The rule is that the ball is placed where the runner was down UNLESS it's a quarterback advancing the football who slides to avoid being hit, in which case the ball is placed where the quarterback advancing the ball initiated the slide.

[@jwiles545]

Well, youtube won't let me post the link, but the NCAA put out memo after the Pickett incident that specifically states the ball is blown dead as soon as the player starts or begins to simulate a slide.

I didn’t watch the game but it definitely looked like the last touchdown, the receiver’s knee is down at about the one when he catches it.

[@fuckcensorship69]

it's where the ball is when his knee touches that matters

[@undisclosed3863]

Rule 4-1-3-r: A live ball becomes dead and an official shall sound their whistle or declare it dead... (r) When a ball carrier obviously begins a feet-first slide...... When a kid is sliding feet-first what you're looking for is when his butt starts dropping. That's what makes it obvious that he is sliding. In this case, when his butt started dropping the ball was short of the line to gain and was dead at that moment. So this was a great job by the ref who marked it short. The kid did not need to slide and could have dove or just kept running.

[@undisclosed3863]

And for those who wonder. The rule is different for high school. The ball would be dead when his body touches the ground. And then you ask where the ball was when that happened. So in high school this would have been a first down. Like it or not, that's the way of it.

I thought so to on the slide on the camera angles they kept showing on the replays. But i decided to go back to the actual live play and pause it and surprisingly enough he actually did start to slide about a half yard before the 1st down marker. You can see the spot alot better during the actual live play because the camera is straight across the middle from it. The ones they kept showing on replays were at a angle from in front of the marker and it looked like he was past it on those just because the angle view it had.
