I saw that too! I think Da Boo Hoo was in their ear all night.The call that made me the most angry was in the first half. Slaughter decked a Clemson receiver, and the WR dropped the ball. A UT player picked it up and would have scored an easy TD. However, the refs ruled it an incomplete pass instead of a fumble. Replay showed it was a clear catch and fumble. Refs are taught to allow close plays like that to continue and then review them, but they didn’t. It was a horrible call to blow the whistle and rule that the play was over so early.
Maybe I need to go back and watch it, but it looked to me like the Clemson player only had the ball for half a second before it was knocked out. I agree that they shouldn’t have blown it dead though. Leave that up to review. I just don’t think it was a catchThe call that made me the most angry was in the first half. Slaughter decked a Clemson receiver, and the WR dropped the ball.

This. Clemson’s OL was melting down. I’d question their motivation if they didn’t hold to try and protect their QB once they realized they were waaayyyy out classed by our aggressive defense. It’s on the officials to see what’s happening and make the freaking calls..!!26 QB pressures and 4 sacks by Tennessee would seem to indicate the Clemson offensive line was struggling. Yet there was only 1 offensive holding call all game.
Make of that what you will.
He put the ball away and took a step. I don't know if that is a football move or not. I was a little more irritated they didn't at least review it... like they didn't want to consider the possibility.Maybe I need to go back and watch it, but it looked to me like the Clemson player only had the ball for half a second before it was knocked out.

Side bets being made? It certainly does smell.I almost started this thread before the game. I'm not sure of what's going on but every SEC bowl game I've watched so far the officials screwed the SEC team. This is statistically so improbable that it points toward an intentional effort.
