And that's the question...did he have full control of the ball while his knee was still down? Guess the officials thought so.

The problem is not what everybody is worrying about. It's that they OVERRULED the on the field call of INT. They need indisputable evidence, but you truly don't know if he has full possession until he picks up the ball. It should've stood as called, not be confirmed as called, and definitely not overturned.

When the replay is frozen, the ball is still on the ground. Again, this looks like it could be down, but are you absolutely SURE that his knee wasn't hovering a centimeter off the ground the very moment he lifted the ball? The ruling on the field was INT, and they overturned it. It looks like they got it right, but that IS NOT indisputable. It should've stood as called on the field even if more than likely his knee was down. ITS GOTTA BE INDISPUTABLE! It's too close of a call to overturn.

The call that gets missed that nobody has mentioned is the play that LSU blew up that got whistled dead. Then the official claimed that there was no foul on the play and let aTm play the play again. WTF was that about. You just saw LSU blow the play up WTF?

Nobody has mentioned this play.

The replay official is the real culprit here, for overruling the interception call and the 1 second call, as well as upholding the incomplete pass call

I never heard them reaffirm the incomplete pass call. Usually the official says the play stands as called. If he did this I missed it.

The big issue with the incomplete pass call is this- remember the first half? Remember when the A&M defender picked up a clearly incomplete pass and ran it back? The refs followed policy on that play- let the play continue and sort it out on review. And in that case, they got it right.

The ref blew the play dead with a late whistle after the Sternberger fumble. He inserted himself into the game and blew the call rather than letting it play out and confirming on review. If he had handled that call the same as it was handled in the first half the other way, it likely doesn’t get overturned and LSU wins the game. The huge inconsistency in how they handled this and the last two PIs (the last one on A&M was absolute bullshite too based on how they let them play all game) were the biggest problems. That’s not consipiracy. It’s incompetence.
