re: Advocate ref expert says all calls were fine except pass int on Greedy!

Oh you mean the Ref that caused this?

Not illegal to have more than seven on LoS, only illegal to have LESS.

I think the worst call was stopping play for nothing on a play that we blew up in the back field

This.

the worst calls of the game were the last three turd run plays Les Miles hacked into the headsets and called for Burrow to handoff/run right into a pile of humanity. Pick up a first down and get out of there with a W. Everything else, every crappy call, no call, bad bounce, whatever, after that is sequella from that awful series. We had the ball and an opportunity to run out the clock.

Sternberger caught the Ball...took 2 steps...got HIT...FUMBLED...Game over

Coming down with ball facing sideline he gained control by time left foot touches ground, turned shoulders closer to facing goal line, took full stride with right leg with right foot landing becoming his 2nd foot down while also putting 2nd hand fully on ball & moving ball forward to then start to move ball to his left side with both hands, and then hit during 2nd stride with his left leg now moving out front (the ball is also moved more to left and lower) and then fumbles.

It’s not even about LSU. To the ground should be for toe taps and/or coming immediately all the way down to ground with ball after leaving ground to catch or being tackled immediately not after strides with the football controlled in hands.

If he had been hit and lost ball immediately when left foot landed (and maybe even before right foot completed stride if turning body not enough of a football move) I can see it not being a catch and fumble, but being hit after landing on 1 foot, taking one stride that was completed with 2nd foot landing, and in the middle of 2nd stride all while turning to end zone and moving football from chest to under his arm is a completed catch and fumble. Probably more obvious than Chase’s against Miami. It’s just Chase’s seemed more obvious in real time because he went more vertical, landed, and then stretched for pylon. This guy caught more in stride, turned up field, and hit seemed to come quicker & harder, but with replays it seems just as obvious if not more.

Unless reasoning was 100% due to a whistle it was also dumb to not force review.

That's was another thing I heard it couldn't have been reviewed or overturned bc the play was called dead and they don't overturn that or review it or some BS. It's all BS if you ask me. They broke rule putting that last second on the clock. I've never in my life have seen that in any sport anywhere except when there was a penalty. In live action if the clock hits zeros, that game is over, period, end of story, suck it up butter cup. Not in this case and even worse they allowed A&M all that time to regroup, calm down and play another down without having to hurry.

They actually let them set, sat on the ball for forever then let them start the play. It was the most obvious hack move I've ever seen in sports, besides three others, which LSU was also involved in.
