re: Honey Badger's punt return blunder

I read on ESPN that it did go out the back of the endzone

Technically it went out on the side of the end zone near the ref with his hands up.

would have been UGA's ball had it been called a fumble.

It would have been called an illegal forward pass as he threw it forward, the move was controlled.

Actually,looking at the replay, I thought he flipped the ball a smidge after the ball broke the plane of the goal line, ergo touchdown. In any event, it wasn't reviewed.

Thank you for clearing this matter up and whoever said the ball went out of the back of the enczone is flat out lieing so Tigers bal l back at 10 or 15 and we score anyway. Thanks and Tiger fans please enjoy the victory.

If that play had been reviewed it would have been Georgia's ball on the 20 yard line.

And Gary and Verne were practically pissing their pants pointing it out 20 minutes after the fact.

All of you are wrong. The official had already signaled touchdown, and Mathieu was responding to the official when he released the ball. A replay cannot overturn players' responses to officiating. A common example of this is when an official accidentally whistles a play dead prematurely; the play is dead when the whistle blows, and a replay can't reverse that even if the player with the ball kept running long after the premature whistle was blown. A kind of similar situation occurred last year when T-Bob Hebert threw his helmet after the first "final" play (against Tennessee). Since the officials signaled "game over", he was allowed to commit an infraction without penalty, even though the game ended up being extended...

He only pitched th e ball when the ref threw his hands up

You are either out of your mind or blind.

Maybe illegal touching on the ref. he was standing out-of-bounds.

I thought all plays are reviewed in cfb. Thus, there was no evidence to overturn. The ref had. True angle, you cannot always tell from a camera angle. Unless mounted Nd in direct line, a camera lens will bend light. That is why golf shots never look straight, even when they are.
They can dis this team all they want to. They just keep whippin arse an overwhelming opponents. We beat bama by 14
