Missed call that everyone got wrong even after review

Refs on the field got it wrong, Birmingham got it wrong and TV got it wrong.

At the 14:25 #5 Ferguson caught a pass while in the air and landed on PJ Woodland who was laying out of bounds. They reviewed it and still got it wrong which shouldn't be surprise. I am saying this not to make a excuse, that drive resulted in a missed FG. I am just highlighting how poor the officiating is in the SEC.

Go to the 14:25 mark

Under NCAA rules, if an airborne receiver catches the ball and lands entirely on a defender who is laying out of bounds, the pass is ruled incomplete.

The Core Logic

According to NCAA Rule 4-2-1 and Rule 2-4-3, a player is considered out of bounds when any part of their body touches anything on or outside a boundary line other than another player or an official.
While touching an inbounds defender does not make an airborne receiver out of bounds, completing a catch requires the receiver to firmly secure the ball and touch the ground inbounds with at least one foot or another body part. Because the defender is legally treated as an extension of the out-of-bounds area if they are touching the boundary line, landing exclusively on that defender means the receiver has failed to establish contact with the ground inbounds.

Two things can be true. We played/coached poorly and the refs had a clear bias towards Kentucky. Makes it even more frustrating that Kiffin didn’t go for it.

Playing poorly is an over statement. Penalties and a killer instinct is what kills this team. They plat hard.

You obviously didn't even read my post. I said that one call didn't impact the game. LSU did not get the job done on the field coaching or playing.

I was just highlight how poor officiating is in the SEC

He didn't land exclusively on that player. His elbow hit the ground inbounds.

(Fixing body part that hit ground)

The way it was described last night, the elbow touching inbounds made it a legal completion. If the WR lands on the defender inbounds while part of the defender is out of bounds, and the WR fails to touch inbounds before rolling out of bounds, then it is incomplete. It's oddly worded and doesn't make much sense, but that is most rules in modern football.

It’s quite amazing the amount of false things said in this board even after watching. His elbow landed in bounds and no other part of his body hit in bounds and he fell on top of our guy first before his elbow hit.

In English, if the receiver lands on a defender who is out of bounds before a body part touches in bounds, he is out of bounds?

I was actually wondering this while they were reviewing. I thought that was the case but they never mentioned it.

He didn’t entirely land on the player. His elbow touched in bounds before any part of him touched out of bounds.

You are reading the rule incorrectly. Had he landed on the defender with nothing touching in bounds and then went out, he is out of bounds. Instead he had a body part come down in bounds.

It’s a stupid rule, sure, but it is what it is.

Sorry, elbow, I don't have video in front of me. I just remember some part of his body hit inbounds.

I will fix it.

This isn't hard. Correct call.

Did you notice where they started to talk about it where they said he fell on top of the receiver and then the sentence got cut short and they never spoke of it again? That infuriates me more than anything when announcers bite their tongue when they know something is wrong. It disgusts me on a cellular level

I thought that rule was changed a few years ago after an LSU game in which a recovered fumble did not count for us. Does anyone else remember this?

You're thinking of a loose ball fumble when a player out-of-bounds touches it before a player in-bounds gains possession. That rules it dead and the possession reverts back to the offense.

I think it was the 22 Bama game where that happened to us.

It's a different situation than what happened last night. At no time did the LSU player touch the ball last night.

Hope that helps.
