It would matter in regards to wether it was a drop or not. If it was a drop, he'd have dropped it regardless. If it was a catch and then dislodged, which it was, that's a different scenario.

Are you serious? We all know you hate Orgeron. But you honestly saw nothing to indicate the A $M guy may have caught the ball?

My entire OP is evidence that’s it’s close enough and at such a critical point in the game that it should be reviewed. Look at the pics, the video, and consider the magnitude of that play.

A guy in the booth deciding the play won’t be reviewed is not the same as the play actually being reviewed.

He had 2 hand control, turned upfield and made a football move before it was dislodged.
He fumbled it once hit. That's how it was.

This is important because he shifted the ball and put his other hand on it. That’s the equivalent action as a handoff.

It’s a fumble.
We won the game. 8 in a row against A8M

That's not the standard. The standard is that the player must maintain "control of the ball long enough to enable him to perform an act common to the game, i.e., long enough to pitch or hand the ball, advance it, avoid or ward off an opponent".

I agree that this is subjective, but he loses control after being hit while taking his second step. Again, I agree it's close, but it is not egregious as many of you are making it seem.

He took at the very least one step and more likely 2.

You failed your argument.

LSU has been falling on the wrong side of subjective calls too many times this year.

It's not even close..There no doubt in my mind that this was a fumble.

Pretty evident that one step is not sufficient. You can review multiple calls during similar situations to determine this.

and more likely 2.



And was losing possession while taking that second step.

Well, you and I are both just posters on a message board, so our view and and quarter will get us something worth $0.25.

Bottom line = it was a close call at a critical time and it wasn’t officially reviewed. You keep saying it was reviewed which is nonsense. Deciding not to have the play reviewed is not the same as actual official review. They look at many different camera angles at different speeds, they might piece frames together determining when possession took place from one camera and when a step or move was made from another angle. They are not hurrying to decide because the play clock is running for the next play.

Even an O hater should be able to admit that play should have been officially reviewed.

You do understand that there are officials in the booth reviewing the plays, right?

Even if the call wasn’t that egregious, it was worth a legitimate review. Not a quick look. If you disagree with that, great. Just means you’re wrong.
