Eric Reid interception - what if the on-field call was different?

If the actual call on the field was not an interception but a Bama reception, and the play was reviewed, would they have overturned the call on the field and given LSU the interception?

Was their enough evidence that their TE bobbled the ball? The bobble seemed so subtle, that it may not have been enough to over turn the call on the field. Thoughts?

According to the ref, yes it would have been over turned. Why do I say that?

Ref: "The call on the field is confirmed." Meaning they had conclusive video evidence that the call was correct.

I don't think there was enough evidence either way to overturn either call ...it was sweet revenge though for pp7 missed int. Two years ago I'm glad we sold it to the refs so well if bama had gotten up pissed and screaming we would have a conference then a replay then who knows

The ball was coming out as the Bama guy hit the turf

He did not have control of the ball

for a moment I was worried, but the replay in slow motion is good evidence the correct call was made on the field.

If the call is overturned, we lose.

I don't know if there was sufficient evidence if the call was a WR catch for it to be overturned.

hmm, I saw a call earlier today in the Michigan game that sure looked like a catch to me, but after being reviewed, the play stood as called, incomplete.

Call could have gone either way. If ruled a catch, it's not overturned. they score. we probably lose. Especially in Tuscalusa, we were veeeeeeeeerrrrry fortunate.

You could clearly see that as they hit the ground it was moving in the WR's hands. Whether the review official had the guts to make that call in Bama is another question.

New rule...A catch has to be maintained through the contact with the gound. The reciever didn't do that, and Reid took it.

Good pic. The ball was moving at this point. A moving ball means no one has control. As the offensive player hit the ground, the ball was moving, so both players had "rights" to the ball.

Is Reid the Other honey Badger, and takes what he wants too, just like Claiborne?
Are there really 3 Honey Badgers on the LSU D?

I was too busy yelling the a bomb of all f bombs while it happened because in live action it looked like dual possession and I turned my head .278 seconds before Reid was shown with the ball. My buddy who's a ref called it and I almost hit him for screwing with me. The slow motion reverse angle was indisputable evidence that Reid had the interception. I'm pretty sure if they over ruled the call on the field Bryant Denny wouldve burned to the ground twice tonight!
