Once you establish possession and have two steps in, going to the ground is irrelevant. Going to the ground is only relevant when you establish possession in the air.

Everything is reviewable during a review, the booth reviews potential scoring players without challenges.

Watch the PennState highlight reel and you see 3 TDs that Penn State made that very similar to the TD that LSU made and was taken from them. It will make you even more pissed.

Correct. It was not a TD. Change the rule.


You saw indisputable evidence he lost control of the ball?

Because everyone is disputing you…which makes your position seem to be the one that’s incorrect.

Call to Birmingham” is a great way for the conference to control the outcome of games. Amazing how it’s our own conference doing this shite against an ACC team on the road.

Yeah, that last bit should cause you to recheck your assumptions.

NCAA Rule 2-4-3 — Catch Elements (2025)

According to the official definitions:

*A catch occurs when a player:

*Secures firm control of a live ball in flight before it touches the ground,

*Touches the ground in bounds with any part of the body, and then

*Maintains control long enough to perform an act common to the game (e.g., pitch, advance, ward off an opponent), and

Satisfies the following:

(b) If going to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact), the player must maintain complete and continuous control throughout the process of contacting the ground. If the ball is lost and touches the ground before control is regained, it is not a catch. If control is regained while still in bounds before the ball hits the ground, it is a catch.

(c) If control is lost simultaneously with touching the ground—or there's doubt about whether control was lost during that contact—it's not a catch. Slight ball movement doesn’t break control unless the player truly loses it.

(d) If the ball touches the ground after the player has secured and maintained control, it’s still a catch.

When in doubt, it’s ruled not a catch.


Based on this, it was a toss-up, which means the call on the field should not have been overturned.

No Conference should be the authority on replay. Each Conference has replay capacity - rotate week to week by Conference

Holy Smokes! Think about this for a minute. It’s the end of a season in which Ohio State and LSU are in contention for the last playoff spots and LSU has a big game with Ohio’s conference in charge. Still want that rotation? They might actually cheat.

I’m more pissed off about the targeting no call than this one. You’ll never convince me that Satan and his staff didn’t suggest to their group of mental midgets that someone needed to take JD5 out of the game. In two years, he had no answer for him.


Compromising player safety to assist in a result the SEC desires is not uncommon. Remember, Bama has taken many a QB out with blatant targets and got away with it many times. The same weekend they suspended Devin White, Mack Wilson literally decapitated UTs QB, concussed him, and if memory serves, broke his collar bone too, and nothing. No flag, no review, nothing.

This conference is disgustingly biased and yet you still have supposed fans of this team defending the SEC and buying into their latest lie.

This is plainly wrong. You could get 17 steps in while you are falling and you were still falling. If the catch is made while falling - and the way they define it, it was - then you have to survive the ground.

This entire issue comes down to one thing: Did he maintain control when the ball moved as he hit the ground. I did not see conclusive evidence that he lost control, the call on the field was completion, so that part of the call should have been left as a completion and the mark at the half yard line should have been overturned. TD.

The referee never did look at the player to see if he held onto the ball.

Yes, of course. There are multiple replay angles that show it very clearly.

People are very emotional and see what they WANT the rule to be.

The same exact thing happened with the Dez Bryant thing 20 years ago. Everyone freaked out and went on and on about how it should be a catch. But, it wasn't by the rule.

Change the rule

I don't know why people aren't understanding this. Everyone is too focused on what happened before he went to the ground. The ball bobbling a little as he hit the ground is the real debate, and I agree with you. He had it secure enough to keep the call on the field as is.

Birmingham was trying to entice Dabo and Clemson to the SEC.

That photo doesn't prove he lost control of the ball. He has a hand partially beneath it and pinned against his face mask.
