🏈 The replay ref in the game..................

[Southern Bama]

I still cant get over the two TD's ( Cooper and Marshall ) being called back......by the replay booth.....has anyone heard anything more on this ? Both of those seemed to be absolutely clear TD's under replay. Those calls could have greatly influenced the outcome had both teams not scored.

Yeah I still dont get it, they were both definitely TDs.

Worst call of the game was still the Illegal Motion on the 28 FG attempt.

 

[Crimson&WhiteGecko]

The phantom penalty was complete fodder..

I talked to a friend of mine who is an NFL ref about those calls. He said that if a player voluntarily leaves his feet before crossing the goal line, then he gives up the right to the plane of the goal line and the ball must cross in bounds AND either touch the pylon or in the endzone prior to the player going out of bounds.

I know at least in AC's case the ball didn't touch anything before his hand came down out of bounds.

But even in that case AC "voluntarily left his feet" because he was trying to score...
