Good, I hope they fire up the media too. Honestly, I don’t care about the call on the field. I’m just hoping they light a fire under the SEC to change their officiating on the field and in the booth. All season the SEC has missed huge fouls or made terrible calls that ruined games. While I enjoy the fact that Ohio is feeling the pain, I do hope maybe something will finally be done

I was surprised they let an SEC crew referee a south vs north game.

Ohio St has nobody to blame but themselves. 3 fgs instead of tds in the 1st half, and their offense stalled in the 2nd half. I thought all the calls were the right call. although the completion/fumble call was close.(prob should have stayed a fumble since it was called that way on the field) I thought it was incomplete in real time. Things get skewed when you replay it in slow motion.

That was my complaint. The video was insufficiently conclusive to overrule the call on the field. I'm still wondering about that one.

Watching the replays, the officials made the right calls in both cases. Just typical whining by THE Ohio State fans.

I don't understand how anyone is saying it was a "clear fumble". I've watched it a dozen times and the receiver never has possession. In both real time and slow motion, I don't see how anyone could conclude that was a catch. The only rationale for not overturning would be "insufficient video evidence to overturn".

Feels like people are claiming it was a catch by watching it in super-slow motion and concluding that's real time. In real time, the entire sequence is less than a second. The receiver never makes a "football move". He has the ball, takes one step, and it's immediately dislodged. All of that happens in less than a second. It's not a catch.

Yep. Doesn’t tuck it away, doesn’t change direction, doesn’t stop his momentum, just continues the process of the catch and loses the ball.

I honestly don’t think this would be controversial at all without the TD on the recovery, which makes it a (reach of a) “what-if” for the losing fans.

When it happened real time I saw it as a drop, in slow-mo it looked like a catch then the defender knocked it loose. When they played it again at full speed there's no way it was a catch. If you imagine the scenario where the receiver is in the end zone, would he have had possession long enough to signal a TD? I don't think so.

Ohio State did get screwed by the overturn. There is just no way you can overturn that, in fact the video showed enough evidence to confirm the the catch and fumble....and honestly it wasn't even close.

It was very close, but the officials will usually stick with the ruling on the field when that's the case.

No they didnt. Overturning the fumble return for a TD would take indisputable evidence. It was not indisputable.

Asking the SEC to officiate a game is like asking Bill Cosby to watch over your drunk wife while go run some errands.
