****College Football In-Game Thread****

I thought BYU hurt. Both were seen coming a mile away. I guess the one good thing is that my Tigers get to play these clowns instead of a team with 10+ future first rounders. Sorry to all that had dreams crushed. My pockets certainly are feeling it. Anyone got Trader Joe’s address. I had Clemson and Under for weeks until the most persuasive arguments I’ve ever encountered swayed me to Bucky.
 
What y'all are ovelooking about the catch/fumble call is that -- if it was a catch -- the correct call was Clemson ball at the spot of the catch because the ball came out after forward progress was stopped. If he took three steps, they were three steps while being pushed backward.

So we can discuss this again. He took 3.5 steps. This stuff needs to be cleared up in off-season imo. This "football move" stuff is stupid. I do like your angle though there.

Did the WR take three steps before contact, or did the contact force the 3steps. That was not a football move. Defender struck the WR as soon as the ball arrived, forcing the WR to take the steps.

But I think the official either has to blow whistle or otherwise signal the play dead, which did not happen..........ultimately, they need to write the rule so the officials just need to make this type of decision based on whether the receiver clearly controlled the ball......
 
It's true that once it goes to replay, the replay official can't make a ruling on forward progress. But the complaint is that the replay official's call unfairly impacted the game, and if someone claims that we need to look at what the actual correct call was in the first place.
 
I think if the tables were turned you would feel completely differently about the call.

They did not blow the play dead. They did not say that his progress was stopped. They said it was not a catch. It was most definitely a catch. Live it happened fast but in slow motion it was obvious and they didn't come back and say forward motion was stopped they said it wasn't a catch. There was no way it should have been overturned. I'm sure it will be addressed over the coming days though.

In the offseason they need to address targeting too. I guy who is in the air cannot change directions - if a player moves so that targeting occurs it should not be targeting. I have always said that but this game cements it.
 
Lawrence didn't move

I know that. And you know that the replay official says it wasn't a catch. Why is the onfield officials' ruling that forward progress wasn't stopped sacrosanct, while the replay official's decision is open to question?

You can't have it both ways. If you want to evaluate whether the officials made the right, you need to determine the right call without using the officials' calls as part of the basis for your determination.

I don't see his progress stopped either. and 4 steps. It was a catch - I hope you are at least honest that you would 100% be arguing the other way if roles were reversed.

I totally disagree. I thought it was incomplete watching the game and texting with @HUNT and said it then.

What is so deceiving is that the call while both hands were on the football the”football move” was determined as having the ball IN BOTH FULL CONTROL AND MOVING FORWARD. As he attempts to bring the ball into his body the ball gets knocked out and he’s going backward.

I get why people don’t like the call, but I don’t even think according to how THE RULE is written the overturn was incorrect. The ESPN ref specialist IMMEDIATELY said incomplete too.

the ESPN ref specialist...
 
I had no dog in the fight in the 2nd game and think Clem and Ohio St would BOTH be worthy of playing LSU

If that isn’t a catch in that clip takeit posted then I honestly don’t know what a catch is. I’m sure someone will come in and site rule 203b section 4a
But JFC. That’s a catch to me.
 
Also, with this many people arguing over whether it was a catch or not most likely means there would not be INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE it was not. The call on the field should have stood.

The game is over and besides some of the shitty calls by the refs it was a good game. Again - I'm all over LSU for the ship. This will be my biggest bet of the year.

Watching live i thought no catch. In slow motion i thought coin flip.
 
There are terrible calls every game.

With regard to forward progress:
1. That is not reviewable
2. I can see a small argument but would disagree with it

With regard to SEC refs:
1. They called it a td on the field. Was the review booth SEC?
