Seemed like the only view ESPN gave was field level looking down the 45 yd line from the LSU side.

At first, I thought AU had made a play. On first review, I didn't think there was conclusive evidence to the contrary. But upon furthre review I think the AU kicker touched it prematurely.


This. Although I'm 99% confident that he almost had to have touched it before the 45, I don't believe the replay actually does show him conclusively touching it - because we have no depth from that angle. I was very surprised that they overturned it.

Wow. So much ignorance in this thread

Yes, an onside kick can be returned

The ball has to CROSS the white line to be legal.

Since the tee is placed on the line, the ball must go 'at least 10 yards' which would require the entire ball to be across the line.

The picture of the onside kick really isnt close. He carried that ball at least a yard before it was legal
