LSU scored and they didn't get the 7 points for it. They were cheated.


There was no indisputable evidence showing that. Watching the replay and using common sense will lead you to determine they scored, but the officials are not afforded common sense. They are instructed to only go by what is 100% clearly and objectively shown on video. They got the call right. Get over it

The evidence was 100%. I don't know how you can argue that. The two synched views show that. Just admit it. It isn't a big deal, bad calls happen every game

The officials are allowed to piece together different views to come to a logical conclusion.

It's pretty simple.

From the side view, we see the ball cross the plane right before he gets hit. But we can't see his knees.

From another angle, we can see his knees did not touch until after he gets hit... but we can't see the ball.

But piecing those two angles together, we know the ball crossed before he gets hit, and we know his knee touched after he got hit.

Therefore, the ball crossed the plane before his knee hit.

Touchdown.

Agree with this, if by "the call" you mean the replay decision. Regardless, LSU was not cheated or screwed. It was probably a missed call and was not blatantly wrong in real time, or anything like that.

Yes they are, they just choose to hide behind "indisputable evidence". Spineless.

They admitted they blew the call the next morning.

The rules of official review are flawed. That is the problem.

The LSU play was a touchdown. The replay official should go into the review with an open mind, and call what he sees. If he ABSOLUTELY can't tell, then the ruling on the field should stand.

Again, my problem was not necessarily with the call, but more so with just the rules in general.
