Having said that. It appears to be a TD to me but it is 💯 not inconclusive.

No way that call can be overturned. The announcers got it wrong. They kept talking about the batted ball happening after the ball was over the goal line. But the batted ball sequence isn’t what caused the fumble. That came after the ball was loose. The initial punch as the ball approached the goal line is what caused the immediate loss of possession. It happened as the ball approached the goal line. I have no idea whether the ball hit the goal line first. If I had to guess, he was short. But it was that close. The call had to stand.

This is how I saw it, too.

When did the freaking whistle blow, though?
Completely irrelevant as the whistle does not end the play. Rule ends the play. But with that said, I don’t think the officials ever declared the ball dead because they had no clue if it was dead or not, and it looked to never be dead by rule until Auburn or Georgia scored.

The only call that really matters here is 17 Auburn. That's it. They deserve it.
No. Because if they do it to them, then they can do it to us. And have.

I’m sorry. I’m no auburn fan but, the ******* I n g they’ve taken over 2 games is egregious.

If we’re going to be professional football, let’s get professional refs.

The front office wants freeze out. No question.

Right is right and wrong is wrong.

How many times have we felt the same way?

It’s definitely not a clear and obvious touchdown like the announcers were saying it should be. It was too close to overturn. If it had been ruled a touchdown on the field, it probably would’ve stood. It was ruled a fumble on the field, so it stood.
👆🏼what he said.

You figure as much NIL $$$ Auburn’s QB is getting paid, he could run a QB sneak without fumbling the ball.

I have never liked the break the plane for a td, its called the goal line, you should have to cross it ball in hand for a touchdown .

Plane = goal line. It's just about whether the "goal line" is the front of the painted stripe or the back of the painted stripe.

It makes sense that it would be the front of the stripe in the same way that a player is out of bounds if they touch the front (or any part) of the stripe even a little.

Bet ya they would have liked to have that inch back the refs gave them on that crucial botched first down measurement in 2011.

They weren’t too concerned about scrutinizing a replay then.

I guess I was assuming they claimed an inadvertent whistle stopped the play. Since they ruled it a fumble on the field, what rule stopped the play at UGA's 1?
