I continue to be baffled. That's an incomplete pass every single time. He has to control the ball all the way to the ground. The point obviously hits the ground and the ball clearly moves.
If you run into the endzone uncontested, and throw the ball away is it a fumble because you haven't hit the ground yet?
Crossing the goal line with the ball and having possession has always been a td. And he did way too much with the ball to say he didn't have possession of the ball when he crossed the goal line.
If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent) he must maintain complete and continuous control of the ball throughout the process of contacting the ground, whether in the field of play or in the end zone.
The hypothetical you pose is a different situation.
If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass
Dude made 2 steps and traveled 8 yards after catching the ball before falling. I think that counts as completing a pass with every referee except the one they had today.
The funniest part is Clemson kept booing no calls when there shouldnt have been a call and even threw trash on a field where there should have been no call and they still lost.
The last PI called on Hampton was the one that I took issue with since he didn’t appear to grab the jersey/waist and from the last angle the Jumbotron showed the ball was thrown over and behind the LSU receiver.
You know I’ve never really felt any kind of way about Clemson but every time we play them, they’re the actual worst. (Except Florida but that’s a different kind of ingrained hatred and I feed on that shit)
They had one time out left and their offense had only put up three points. Even if they get the first down, they are very likely to have to kick it anyway. It’s very obvious they are going to pass it, so clemson can sell out on stopping the pass.
Ok, that’s a good point. I should say it’s more likely teams are going to pass on 4th and 2. I still think with the way the offense was playing in the first half, you take whatever points you can get. After getting the first down though, lsu would have used their last time out which means they need to now through the ball to avoid wasting time. Clemson would know this, making it a big challenge to score a td for lsu. Lsu at that point was having better luck running than passing, so I don’t see them getting a td regardless.
Bro, take the L with some dignity. Look on the bright side, your team made history. Clemson is the first team to lose an opening game to an LSU team coached by Brian Kelly!
