It was the correct call not to overturn. The call on the field was incomplete. The replay guys made the right call in not overturning because it is not clear that his left foot did not come down first out of bounds. It looks like his left foot is OB and the way the rule is written it would have to be abundantly clear that it was not OB. Too close to overturn. Correct call.Coach34 said:the SEC is wasting money by having a replay official...they are obviously not there to get the calls correct
because you sure as hell weren't watching the same one as the rest of the country. Or perhaps you just have the same replay feed as the replay officials, which is to say the one that doesn't exist. Hell I didn't really care one way or the other who won that game, but number 7 caught the ball and clearly had one foot in bounds (you know, huge divot and all, but don't let facts get in your way), which kicked up all sorts of dirt and it looked like he had a second foot in bounds as well. The second foot you can argue, but that first one was a whole half foot or more in bounds.LR1400 said:It was the correct call not to overturn. The call on the field was incomplete.

I think the rule is a good rule in that the on field refs make the call to the best of their ability in accordance with the speed and play of the game. You don't override them unless it is 100% clear that the call was incorrect. This you could not DEFINITIVELY say that his left foot, which came down first, was in bounds.
It's almost like that's what he was thinking - "no way I'm overturning this here".Todd4State said:Let me put it this way- if I was the replay official, I would have overturned it, and would have been able to look myself in the mirror the next day.
