re: Why wasn't Duke Riley's stop on 4th a fumble vs Bama

I am an official of 34 years and I saw the same thing you saw. I think his knee came down first and then it touched down again. That was not a fumble. I think they may have seen what we both sex and and correctly ruled him down.

There appeared to be a hold in the touchdown play, but it was an easy play to miss if you are blocked out or are pout position. The play broke down and it can cause you to be out of position.

Of course, I will never convince the ignorant on this board of which there is a substantial amount and basically fans of any team that there is not a preanned bias out there just like the idiots on the Arkansas board who said the same thing about the game in Sunday.

We officials have way too many responsibilities to be planning an outcome of a particular game and we have too much to lose y doing so, but I will never get the masses of the ignorant to understand such, especially since most have never put on a striped shirt.
