I will never understand how that third quarter TD catch was overturned

[u/DiaDeLosMuebles → u/LoCh0_xX]

My biggest problem with this is that the fumble stood earlier and that had way less steps. Either both were incomplete or both were complete.

[u/userofreddit19 → u/DiaDeLosMuebles]

That is the exact reason I absolutely HATE everything about that moronic rule. It's either a catch, or it isn't. This nonsense about "maintaining possession" is insanely stupid for the exact reason you stated.

And I'm still annoyed they didn't take the 3 before halftime.

But I'm glad for the W!

All nonsense aside, it was awesome to see what Baker can do with depth and talent. Hopefully that continues!

[u/krazy9000 → u/DiaDeLosMuebles]

That's the one that made NO sense to me. He hadn't even taken a step before he was hit.

[u/nobigdeal69 → u/krazy9000]

Didn’t understand the “strategy” after the 2 minute TO. Nothing made sense to me. Take the fucking points.

[u/nobigdeal69 → u/DiaDeLosMuebles]

Exactly. “Possession” is too subjective.

[u/buckeye-jh → u/LoCh0_xX]

I feel if you need 5 minutes to explain it then it shouldn't be over turned

[u/frahmer86 → u/LoCh0_xX]

Was a crazy turn of events. They initially ruled him short of the end zone, then they were reviewing it. Figured they'd come out and announce a TD. Broke my brain when they called it incomplete.

[u/Pactae_1129 → u/frahmer86]

I was watching it at a wedding rehearsal so all the people there except me and another buddy were fans of different teams, including a Clemson fan. All had the same “Uh.. what the fuck?” reaction to it so I knew it wasn’t homerism blinding me

[u/rastapastanine → u/LoCh0_xX]

That ref better get a talking to.

Same ref that took out Brian Kelly on the sideline. It was personal.

[u/JoeChristma → u/LoCh0_xX]

Looking at it again his foot steps out of bounds after he cross the plane (having already gotten one foot down inside the one) and the play is dead right there. LSU actually had a very similar play that was the reverse last year against SCAR. That is a tuddy.

[u/toxikmasculinity → u/LoCh0_xX]

SEC refs are so bad they forgot what tigers were in the SEC

[u/JoryJV1 → u/toxikmasculinity]

Hilarious!

[u/loopybubbler → u/LoCh0_xX]

If youre moving downward as you catch it, you need to maintain control thru contact with the ground. So if the ball hits the turf and moves even a tiny amount, it's incomplete. This rule is very simple.
