The interception

[Baxter48]

Can someone explain to me why the pass to Lloyd was an interception, I was always under the impression that a simultaneous catch goes to the offense? The defensive player didn’t have possession until he wrestled it away on the ground, one the receiver hits the ground isn’t the play dead?

They said Lloyd never possessed the ball. He got lazy on the catch and never fully possessed it.

What was your opinion? I thought he caught the ball but didn’t hang onto it like he should have

I thought he never had control of the ball, defender made a great play. Learning lesson, be aggressive go get the damn ball

It was close to bobbling it, not having possession, which unfortunately he did not. The defender got his hands on it, rolled away to give him more control of it than Lloyd.

The same with #2 not getting the interception. The receiver stripped it out his hands before he could control it.

It's not just a body part hitting the ground. He has to maintain possession all the way through the catch, which he didn't.

I notice there were comments from coaches and Raiola indicating the ball was slightly underthrown. It's nice to defend teammates but Lloyd had the ball ripped out of his arms. It should have been a reception.

Lloyd only had one hand on the ball the defender had 2. It was called an interception if the referee calls it a catch it would have stayed a catch.

I think most people were surprised DR came out for that series. Good learning lesson for all Huskers involved. Close doesn't always work.

 

[HBK4life]

He had to get his first one out of the way sooner or later. Better it be a questionable one in an game that was already over.

Are you suggesting because of the interception he was pulled for the next series? If so, I respectfully disagree.

 

[SickOfPractice]

I thought it was a fair call. The defender made a great play wrestling the ball away to possess it solely.

At one point as they are going to the ground, both of Lloyd's hands come off the ball. After that, it looked to me as if the DB got possession before the wrestling match started.

I hated to see Raiola get an INT, but the call was correct in my opinion.
