Wrong, I responded to several of them with my post earlier today. A repeat:

quote:

Was at the game and just got a chance to watch it.

First, the first down call was correct. The TV line was wrong. In the stadium there was no doubt he got the first. Amazing that a lot of whining LSU fans on this board can’t do simple math. Even if you back the spot up by a full yard he still made the first by a yard. Not sure why this is being bitched about. Everyone in the stadium knew it was a first immediately.

Second, replay showed Mond was clearly down when he picked up the ball. Had he thrown a TD and it had been reversed Ags would have been pissed and LSU fans elated. But, the call was correct. Not sure why this is being bitched about.

Third, the ball was grounded with 1 second on the clock. They zoomed in it with the clock reading 01. Not sure why this is being bitched about.

Fourth, the call of incomplete on the Sternberger hit looks right. Watched it several times and it looks like the ball is moving between his hand and body when he gets hit. Ref made the call on the field immediately. I wasn’t sure at the game. Looked like a fumble initially. Now that I see it, it looks like he never established control. If you are an LSU fan I get you don’t like the call. This type of call is made all year long.

What about the illegal formation A&M was in on the last -3 seconds he threw in the endzone to send into overtime? That is a 10 second run-off.

Your call on the fumble is wrong; he did fumble.

In think the glaring issue is why the refs did not review these close calls.

It will correct itself when you guys come to Baton Rouge next year.

Good luck in your bowl game.

He had taken multiple steps and was in transfer.

This type of call is reviewed all year long.

3 seconds to line up and spike it with time on the clock is nearly impossible. But I’m not upset over that one.
The interception ruled down looked like he picked up the ball at the same time his knee came up bang bang. Seemed too close to call either way should have stood how it was called. Not incredibly upset about that one. What bothers me most about that is if they would have called him down the clock would still be running and y’all would have to rush to the next play. Difficult situation.

What really drove it in was the two missed false starts in that drive and the most ticky tacky pass interference on an impossible ball I’ve ever seen. That goofy bastard official obstructing our defense twice in a row was pretty golden too, loved that.
