So it was the right call after all? I swear, you people

Of course this mother fricker is going to say that...being a Bama grad he’s going to take care of little brother aTm and POS Jimbo .....I wouldn’t have expected him to state anything otherwise... his answer to every questionable call was in favor of his pets ( Refs) and aTm.... he’s not going to say they really did frick up becuz then he knows they cost LSU the game and it would fit the script of all the corrupt BS that is going on in this bias league... frick him and the whole SEC...

He didn't take two steps
2 steps. WHat is this nonsense?
Let's say the WR makes a catch identical to this on the sideline and puts one toe in bounds.
Where are the 2 steps? Should that be an incompletion
Utter BS

I have never said it was the wrong call.
The Mond call was wrong. The PI was wrong.

If they can say Kellen Mond had possession of the ball when he instantly touched it with one hand with his knee on the ground; then you have to be consistent and say that Sternberger had possession with both hands on the ball and turning up field.
In that case every dropped, or deflected, pass would be a fumble. We don’t need consistency between two unrelated things.

I don't what some are calling possessed the ball. He absolutely possessed and had 2 steps.
Sequence:
1)Caught the ball with the hands chest high....no juggling, ball was secure at the moment he caught it.
2) Left foot comes down after catch, while he begins bringing ball down with both hands
3) He turns shoulders down the field and continues to move ball to left side away from defender. There was no juggling, ball was secured.
4) 2nd step (right foot) comes down he continues process of moving ball to left side
5) Right before 3rd step comes down helmet hits the ball out.
He clearly controlled the ball from the moment his hands touched it. He turned shoulders with the ball (football move) and took the 2nd step. There was never a time where the ball was moving around uncontrolled.
I don't see how anybody can say he never possessed. He controlled the ball for 2 steps.
At the least the main issue with this call is that the play should've been allowed to complete and then review. That is my biggest gripe. Instead they call it incomplete and the play is dead and can't be reviewed.
The refs were careful to review the Knee Play and Spike play to get it right. But they couldn't let this play finish and review it to get it right. 2 plays they reviewed were game enders for A&M, the play that was a game winner for LSU, they couldn't review it.

Using steps as a basis for possession is inane. Hypothetically, what if a player caught a ball and then just stood there? He's not in possession yet?
Rewatch the full instructional video. He goes on to give an example of a football move as taking “a step or two”. Everyone has their opinion, but to insist it is incomplete with no doubt is immature at best.

He caught the ball over his shoulder with his hands and chest/chest plate, took a step after the catch while turning his body up field, then moved the ball from his chest out and back in and absolutely tucked the ball onto his side while taking his SECOND STEP which would've been complete in the NFL. I will say that he didn't have it tucked away properly, and that's what caused him to fumble, but to say that it wasn't a catch because he didn't tuck it is ludicrous. I've watched it several times, and he caught the ball, took two steps and tucked it away loosely and incorrectly with both hands still supporting the ball which is what caused the fumble. Upon the defenders contact with his right arm, the right hand still supporting the ball caused the ball to spin from his hands.
Its a travesty that they didn't even review. I can understand a mistaken call on the field. It was incorrect protocol not to let the play play out on the field, and give the ability to review and overturn, but then to not even give LSU the review after the improper protocol was taken on the field is disgusting.
Its hard to "let it go"

that call is a fumble 99 times out of 100

He did tuck it. He also turned and ran toward the endzone. It was a fumble all day. They are just saying whatever they think they have to say to reduce the heat.

This is true. Hate that the officials became part of the game but LSU should have never let them complete a touchdown pass with 1 second left.

Complete bullshite proved by evidence.

Yes and I thought he admitted the Greedy PI call shouldn’t have been made.

Was listening to Hester and Flynn, two guys who've played a little football. They said refs are trained to call those fumbles, review the play and correct it if needed.

yup. this is the most damning part.
this gets called on the field a pass > fumble, it gets reviewed and is upheld.
called incomplete pass on the field. no review.
however, what are the rules regarding challenges in college football? can an opposing coach even challenge an incomplete pass?

Possession is 1 foot in college and he took two steps. The hit caused the fumble.
