The rules of crossing the plain in control or pylon is TD.
Or so I thought lol

But like he's pointed out, this is what the reviewer looked at: *Brown "gets" ball, one foot in. So far so good. *Brown crosses plane of goal line with ball in control. So far, so good.

And once crossing the plane, ball is dead, TD.
End of story.

Where do you get this? What in the rule says that running with the ball is part of the process of making a catch?

As part of his momentum that led to his hitting the ground, his feet "hit the ground" twice in that process (of falling to the ground). They were not voluntary, "football move" steps. Therefore, he did not complete the definition of completing a catch.

A similar scenario happened last year at South Carolina by Kyren Lacy (not a TD) and the officials reviewed and got it right. Once a football move is made, surviving the ground is not part of the requirement.

IMO the official simply botched the rule interpretation.

There is no understanding this call in anyway.

It is just like the Patrick Peterson interception in the Alabama game, which Patrick was clearly in bounce and one foot in before going out.

Which everyone the next day called it in and in clear wonder how the replay officials called it a out.

100%??

I don’t think you can prove that lol. Looked like it was moving around to me…

But I don’t know for sure. Call on field was TD so I thought it would stand.

He has to “catch” the ball for this to be correct.

Per the rule he did not catch the ball.

They questioned the ball and its contact with the ground


I know what they saw but it’s an overly lawyered interpretation of the rule.

I love this reply:

Humm a voluntary step rule, vs the real rule of a football move, which means near everything, turning, leaping, stepping, jumping, being pushed, etc.

So, if a player is pushed across the goal line, which is not a voluntary football move, would not that then mean it is not a touchdown?

No. I wish and thr rule is dumb.

Because it's a catch, the whole "is it a catch" has to be satisfied.

Everyone watching, including the rules expert (Pererra), thought that part was satisfied. The official who reviewed did not.

The problem is, all those dumbass rules and "definition of catch".

Used to be, did he catch the ball and get 1 foot down (2 for NFL)?"
And yeah. He clearly did that. Even the Clemson db would acknowledge that.

LSU won what was clearly a fixed game. We have a so,I’d team and more importantly, the coaching has turned a corner

Ultimately we have money (gambling, etc) to blame. That's why we have all these mental gymnastics to do, when objectively anyone would agree he caught the ball. But he can't just do that, he has to "control through the ground", or "make a football move" etc.

Ok simple question:

Did they count the score?

Why did they overturn it? Did they say "we dont like LSU"?

No, they didn't say that. They said he didn't complete the catch.

None of us agree with that, but that's the rationale for overturning it.
