Boone's school "will move on," he said, but the incident proves replay "is not foolproof."
Ole Miss Athletics Director Pete Boone said:"With regard to the call at the end of the game, after further review of the Ole Miss SEC replay decision-making process, we have clear and convincing evidence that it's not fool-proof," Boone said. "It's important for us to stick up in situations like this. We have been good citizens of the SEC. Let me tell you, there's no better place to play ball than there is in the SEC. And this is not an indictment at all against SEC officials. We've got to have the best in the country."

They changed the title to this story since this morning. It was Controversial finish, Saban's comments stir Ole Miss emotions

He had to resolve two issues: did the receiver go out of bounds on his own (a huge majority think that he did) and did he touch the ball before the defender did (which is less clear cut). The official staked his reputation that the video evidence was conclusive that Hodge touched it first. and this was confirmed by his superior. yet even had the replay guy ruled in Ole Miss's favor, there was another issue: many of us think that Mitchell was down with posession of the ball and Hodge ripped it away after he was down. This was never ruled on, because the earlier ruling made it unnecessary.
Get over it, Rebs. Een if this call was wrong (it wasn't) it is far from being the worst call in history (I would give the nod there to the one at the end of the Fla/UT game a couple of years back).
We all have bad calls against our guys that we remember. I personally stil think that Joe Namath got into the end zone against Texas in the 1964 season, which would have won the game for us, and made us the undefeated and undisputed NC that year, instead of sharing the title.
