you people are straight clueless if you think that was a td by the rule. stupid rule but stop being dumb.
What if he had taken 4 steps before going to ground? 5 steps? 20 yards? At what point does it cease being “in the act of making the catch”? There is no interpretation of the rules that would make going to ground relevant once a player has maintained control of the catch long enough to make a move common to the game. It’s a misinterpretation of the rule to think otherwise because then you would have to apply it even if the receiver went to ground 99 yards down field after catching the ball. It was a TD by rule unless you don’t think the time he had to take 2 steps after the catch was long enough to make a move common to the game.

The people arguing it was the correct call and posting a rule that isn't applicable and calling other people morons are my favorite.
If he would have caught the ball in the endzone then yeah they would have an argument and the rule would be applicable (I would still say it was a catch).

He possessed the ball breaking the plane of the goal with foot down
Touchdown!
Touchdown!

We can. They can't. I guess it's by design.

My take is this, if they had called it a catch not one person would be arguing or saying anything. It was a catch 100%. Being they have no clue what a catch is, everyone will be talking about it.
They got it wrong and thankfully it didn’t burn us. Those points would have been really nice to have

I have the simple solution. On plays where there is a question as to whether or not a catch was made when going to the ground, a minimum speed on replay needs to be established. There is no way anyone could look at a frame by frame replay and accurately judge something like that that happens in real time. The argument there needs to be that there should be proof that a catch was not made. The standard has gotten too high and it's only going to get worse. We're about to get into "that depends on what the definition of is is" territory, and that's just absurd.

The "SEC" didn't make the determination; a person did. That person could have done it for any number of motives:
quote:
The SEC football replay official procedure involves three main components: three officials in the central SEC Video Center, one in-stadium replay official, and the game's on-field referee. The SEC uses a collaborative system where the video center officials monitor games and work with the stadium official and referee to review plays for clear, indisputable evidence to confirm or overturn on-field rulings. A sideline monitor allows the referee to see the video evidence being reviewed, enhancing communication.
the bottom line is this ruling is made by committee, although one person may have final say, no one is risking their position for some petty personal bullshite
Granted there was a time where the League showed favoritism to certain crimson clad programs. However Lord Saban is gone and between ESPN, The Conference Office and the member schools there is so much money riding on the perception of integrity of the product to risk that for practically any reason is outright foolish. That being said, if you believe the SEC Office itself is corrupt, and would allow the integrity of the games to be corrupted, then why are you watching the games?

Imagine, there’s players that cross the goal line and immediately drop the ball and celebrate but that’s not a fumble because he crossed the plane with possession.
Brown catches the ball, crosses the goal line with possession, falls, tumbles out of bounds, the ball moved, he regains full possession and they call no catch.
Our RB dove into the end zone for a TD and the ball popped out when he hit the ground. He crossed that goal line and it was TD. Should be the same thing with his actual catch. So yea I agree with you.

Because the games are entertaining. Were you seriously confused about that?

This wasn't Mike Pereira. He's on Fox and way smarter than the other experts. Although even the ABC moron got it right. That's how obvious it was.

D...and it nullifies the other 2 pieces of crap.

Shouldn’t the play be over when he hits the pylon???
No.
The catch is not concluded and possession not determined just by crossing the goalline.
A running back carrying the ball has possession of the ball so that when he crosses the goal line it is automatically a touchdown and the play is over.
A receiver must complete making the catch before possession of the ball can be satisfied. A catch has several sequence requirements that must be met after the ball is in the hand(s) of the receiver.....assuming no bobbling of the ball during this determination period.
One sequence might be going to the ground w/o bobbling the ball. Another might be making or attempting to make a 'football move'. Another might be taking 3 steps after securing the ball in his hands.
There are multiple possibilities of actions/events taking place that would satisfy determining the catch.

I think it was a touchdown, but at this point I have given up trying to search for a consistent interpretation of what "a catch" is.
I'm just glad that it didn't matter in the end.
GEAUX TIGERS!

This, which is what the in booth official said was the case here. Football move, cross the pylon of the endzone, touchdown. Play over.

False, only had one foot in then second foot was out of bounds. Watch the slow mo. Still believe it’s a touchdown though
Can you read or are you still drunk?
I never said anything about all three steps being in bounds.
It doesn't matter if the receiver gets at least the one (first) foot down in bounds.....the other two steps can be out of bounds.

When I saw it live, I said that is TD. Other fans members around said he did not catch it. The ref marked out at half yard line. Then I saw replay. I knew it was a TD. All of us cheered.
Then I saw the replay continue and I said the refs will overturn it. SEC officials do not understand what a catch is. They don't understand that he possessed the ball and crossed the goal line making the ball dead. They were going to say he did not secure it going to the ground.
That was the up there as one of the worst calls I have seen in football. The SEC will send some BS response to BK about it. They won't hold the officials responsible.

He didn’t. He took 1 in bounds step while falling
