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.
I saw that too! I think Da Boo Hoo was in their ear all night.

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 catch

I should also go back and watch it. The way I remember it, though, the ball was clearly caught, but I guess it could be argued that he didn’t make a “football move,” or whatever that stupid language is that determines whether it’s a catch or a fumble, before he dropped it. The bottom line, though, is it was still a terrible decision to blow the play dead so prematurely.

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.
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..!!

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.

I saw holding on almost every play on both offensive lines. A lot of no calls. When they did call them it was mostly on UT. The ref in the Clemson secondary called one on the UT oline.

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.

USCe- 8-73
ND- 4-40

UF- 11-82
Or St- 7-50

WFU- 6-58
MU- 9-85

KU- 4-34
Ark- 7-61

TTU- 3-15
OM- 7-81

UT- 6-80
CU- 3-30

Total:
SEC- 48-462
Opponents- 27-227
Side bets being made? It certainly does smell.

I would personally like to thank the officials of the ND South cackalaka game. Didn't watch but Beamer lost. Lmao
They were certainly trying to eliminate the cocks. There were at least 3 targeting calls made in that game.
