After further review

[Lord of the Styes]

Jonathan Williams did get the first down on that fourth and one. Isn't the spot of the ball reviewable?

[SemperFi]

Yes, I believe that the spot of the ball is reviewable. JWill was on top of a Bama defender and stretched the ball out to where the first down was. The replay official should have called down and stopped play and confirmed, but didn't.

Penn Wagers and his crew are terrible at their jobs. I actually thought that he was just slanted towards the Alabama schools, but the truth is that he is just so incompetent that he can't get it right. The unsportsmanlike against Dan Skipper was BS and the replay showed it. Hopefully, Coach B will have enough taped evidence of Wagers and his crew's incompetence to get them removed from their jobs permanently. They stink up the SEC.

[Lord of the Styes]

There were some questionable spots in this game. Luckily we overcame the others, but this one killed a momentum swing.

[incHOGnito]

I thought so too, but we never got a good enough look to know for sure.

[Piggfoot]

Was there a single review in the game. Alabama's first TD should have been reviewed.

[Ex-Trumpet]

I believe it was reviewed and the call on the field was upheld.  Cost us a time out.

[Rocket23]

It was reviewed.

[bpoecell]

He laid that ball right on the first down line. They never showed a replay from the side, just from behind the Bama line where the angle obscured the forward progress. ESPN moved on from that one as fast as they could. Couldn't take a chance of showing how crooked the refs are in their golden conference.

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

In order to grab our first SEC W, we have to leave no doubt and take it OUT of the official's hands.

[Pigdiana Jones]

Yeah that turd of am official is a moron. That first "fumble" wasn't a fumble. I watched it on DVR over and over and in slo-mo. He was never in possession of it. That call at the end where it was an incomplete pass was BS. The guy would have come down in bounds but was pushed out. That is a complete pass, period. The penalty against skipper was absolutely atrocious. The on top of it all, players were lining up in neutral zone and they let them get away with it.

This is not a rule.  You still have to come down in-bounds or it is incomplete.

[010HogFan]

We got hosed.

[HogFanatic]

This is not a rule.  You still have to come down in-bounds or it is incomplete.

You sure about that? I don't think you can just shove a receiver out of bounds and the pass be considered incomplete. I mean if so you could just catch the receiver in mid-air and run out of bounds with him.

I think in the NFL that flies, but not in college.

It's not a rule. Come down in bounds or it's not a catch. Simple as that. The defender can shove someone midair as much as they want.

You have it backwards

[HogFanatic]

You have it backwards

Ah. Ok. Thanks.

[arsuperhog]

After watching the replay on the SEC network, JWill did in fact reach the ball across the first down line before his knee touched. The spot, like about 75% of the spots, was wrong. There were several running plays where the pile was 5 or 6 yards from the line of scrimmage, only to have the ball placed for 1 yard gain. Absolutely atrocious

Here is the rule.

Incomplete Pass
ARTICLE 7. a. Any forward pass is incomplete if the ball is out of bounds by
rule or if it touches the ground when not firmly controlled by a player. It also
is incomplete when a player leaves his feet and receives the pass but first lands
on or outside a boundary line, unless his progress has been stopped in the field
of play or end zone (Rule 4-1-3-p) (A.R. 2-4-3-III and A.R. 7-3-7-I).

Unfortunately, it was the right call according to the rule.

That didn't cost us the game.
1 fumble out of ez 7 pts
2 muffed kick snap 3 pts
3 missed try 1 pts
4 2 dropped INTs
5a fumble in open field
5b 2 fumbles not covered
6 miss use of TOs
7 abandoned the run game
The officials will always be a thorn in our side but they had nothing to do with the outcome.

[MojaveJoe]

I thought I was just being a homer, but I saw a ton of bad spots.

And the personal against Skipper was BS. He never had possession on the TD fumble either, but I could see how that one would be hard to overturn.

[threeNout]

we challenged a spot earlier, it was upheld and it cost us our challenge.

after our challenge ability was gone, it seemed the spots kept getting worse, we couldn't challenge the JWill spot, and they knew it.

[Poker_hog]

Not only that but on the game winning TD cbb ran 30 yards on the field trying to call to.  How can you not see a 350 lb man with a bleach white wind breaker sprinting towards you.
