re: Summary of LSU-Bama officiating errors...WITH PHOTOS!

I also think Bama got robbed on the spot that led to the LSU safety. An LSU player was standing at the 4 yard line, the ball hit at the 2 yard line

except McElroy threw it when he was just short of on his knees and all wrapped up in a tackle.. doesn't that make it grounding? And was he possibly not outside the tackles?

Nice...

Clearly, Peterson had control and had "at least" one foot in bounds, if not 2-3 feet down in bounds. Only question is whether there really is an "interpretation" of a "football move", such as "tucking the ball". I am not aware of whether this is required or not. Is the receiver or interceptor required to tuck the ball completely into himself in order to establish "possession"? Regardless, it appears that he did "all of the above".

Insofar as the block in the back on the Jones 75 yd. dash, this is pathetic. Anyone who thinks that this did not allow Jones to run right past Taylor is an idiot, and certainly NEVER played football before. I guess Taylor was supposed to be strong enough to tackle Jones with his fingertips then, huh??

Given the evidence, this "block in the back" was the real game-changer. Until then Julio Jones was lucky to catch anything for more than a few yards. And, certainly too bad for Taylor - he did not deserve the wrath of the media on that play. I wonder how well McElroy would've operated with a 10-yd. penalty that backed them up inside their 20 with a 1st and 20 instead of a long TD?? I guess we'll never know on that count either, will we?

Complete BS.

On the downed punt, I did not notice anyone touching the ball on the 4 yd line. If that happened then we need to acknowledge it. However, a sack in the endzone, intentional grounding from the endzone or the obvious flagrant holding in the endzone (not called, of course) all result in a safety. Thanks for your candedness on PP's interception.

Even Kige knows the NFL rules =/= NCAA; but apparently you don't.

You have a picture of the right foot that clearly shows it's not on the line..."green between"?

---

Don't need the right foot b/c you've already got the left inbounds when the ball touches Peterson's hands. He didn't bobble the catch after that, so that foot counts. You don't need possession first and then a foot inbounds. It can happen simultaneously.

You don't have to tuck the ball and then get a foot inbounds. PERIOD. The catch of the ball begins when the ball is touched by the receiver. LEARN the rules!

at 40 seconds onhe has the ball with his left foot inbounds. its clear. in college football you only need 1 foot in. at 41 seconds you can see his right foot in bounds. clearly an int.

---

I've looked at it frame by frame in HD. At 40, he grasps the ball. For all you LSU FanTards, that doesn't equal a catch. At 41 he's demonstrating possession and control, but by then his left foot is long since off the ground. Now he has to get his right foot inbounds to complete the requirements for a catch.

Please post a clear and in focus picture that shows his foot is not on the line. Thanks

Exactly. These people commenting otherwise are full of it.

Please stop Arakkis. This is stupid. It was an interception. End of story. There is no debate, the case is closed. Now we merely await the SEC's response.
