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

No it wasn't. You could not clearly see where his knee was. Assuming his knee was up because of the other evidence in the video is not INDISPUTABLE evidence. You cannot assume anything, it has to be clearly shown.

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, I mean the replay. The play would've stood no matter what the call on the field was, because there was not indisputable evidence showing anything.

one view showed knees up. One view showed ball across the line at the same time. That is indisputable. Same thing happened in Bama vs Miss state. They used two views to make a reversal

If it was a missed call, then that means LSU scored. They scored and didn't get the points for it. They were cheated out of 7 points.

I never saw a replay with his knee clearly up at the same time the ball crossed.

And by crossed I mean barely grazed on the pseudo goal line cam

I just fricking watched the replay. His knees did not hit the ground until after he was hit at the goal line.

"Cheated" implies to me an intentional screw-job, but I think we're just arguing semantics.

Regardless, we have no idea how the game would have played out if it was called a touchdown.

I agree with all of this. But when we actually have full evidence from two pictures that he scored, just say it is a missed call and be honest. Dont dance around it

I am over it. I didn't even care about that game.

But don't sit here and tell me there is no evidence when I was looking right at it.

Just be honest.

so how far past the goal line should you have to get for it to be a TD in your biased little world ??

Considering the video evidence, how can you say it was not an intentional screw job? It was a TD. If you say otherwise, you're either a troll, blind, or a SPED kid.

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.
