"In disputable video evidence" redefined

[volmoon]

Until tonight, the rule for overturning a call on the field required "indisputable video evidence." Tonight, the call was reversed without video evidence of THE BALL advancing for a first down. There was no video evidence of the ball crossing the first down line.

Even as a Tennessee fan, Carta-Samuels clearly crossed the line.

 

[allvol123]

This times a million. That guy should be fired.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

If you don't think he reached the line to make, you need glasses. He got the first down.

 

[VolinMichigan]

Yeah, he was over. he would have had to been holding the ball by his knees for the original spot to stand.

 

[deezvols]

There's not many people who will sensibly argue that the spot was in our favor, but the issue is the fact that the replay official overturned the call with indisputable video evidence that the ball crossed the line.

 

[TrueOrange]

Indisputable is one word

 

[GAVol]

It was obviously a terrible spot before the review.

Even as a Tennessee fan, Carta-Samuels clearly crossed the line.

he crossed the line by 2 yards.

 

[o3marine52]

I hate it, but it was absolutely a first down.

 

[865dude]

The line judge tried to give us the game. But I knew he clearly had it.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

That was clearly the right call. You're missing the biggest issue. The game should not have been that close.

 

[Kook]

Sure, It looked like a first down, but you couldn't see the ball cross the line. if you can't see the ball cross the line, you can't over turn it. That is how the rule works. period.

 

[titansfan2104]

I have never seen a spot overturned in a sneak/ running situation with even better video of where the ball was!!

Yes...we had home cooking for 30 seconds on that call.

 

[SmokeyFTW]

The yellow line is not accurate. So with that said you can't go by him getting to that line. And with that said you can't clearly say he made the first down marker without seeing the ball. That was a bad overturn.

 

[volmoon]

Indisputable is one word

Sorry. Auto correction on tablet. Will correct it.

 

[dphammer]

If you don't think he reached the line to make, you need glasses. He got the first down.

Thats the key though I did think he crossed the line but the spot was short and there was no view of the ball so there was no evidence. That is what everyone it upset about

 

[volchemist11]

Yes I do believe he crossed the line but the ball was spotted short and there was no replay that actually showed the ball. You can assume the ball was somewhere but if you can't actually see it then you cannot overturn the spot no matter how bad it was.

On that last Vandy drive, deep in their own territory, Jaq blows up the play to the back in the flat, but he had a CLEAR push directly in the back by the OL. That would have pushed them back another 10yrds or half the distance to the goal. Ref's never called it. I was blown away. The called Pig Howard on a questionable block in the back, that erased a winning score...and refuse to call a classic block in the back, right where the ball was.

We can't catch a break from the officiating crews this season

Even butch knew

Clearly?

No

 

[bud0323]

It was a first down, but it should've never come down to that. During the drive one of our DBs was called for a face mask, but it was the receiver who grabbed the face mask.

 

[VinylVols]

Yes we all know that it obviously went past the line, but I think the issue people are having is the initial call was that he was short, and in the replay you actually never see the ball. So i will agree he obviously had it, but it was not indisputable.

 

[SmartVolFan]

Even butch knew

Did he tell you?
