Not game changing, or anything. But to those that watched the game: How bizarre was that officiating?

Just odd calls both ways. Odd reversals. Ghost running into the kicker.

Thoughts?

At least it wasn't Ritters crew.

Didn't the phantom running into the kicker call lead to an LSU touchdown when they would have settled for a field goal? If so, that wound up being the difference in the game.

Actually, Ritter's the guy in Birmingham who reviews all the controversial calls. He reviewed a couple plays from our game yesterday.

They tried to pull a fast one by taking him off the field but allowing him to impact the outcome of every SEC game.

Said it then and I'll say it now, it was incidental contact with the kicker after the kick. You know what that's called?
Running into the kicker.

The replay in stadium looked like he pulled up but still ran into the kicker. What was phantom about it?

Fournette's knee was clearly down way before the ball came out on his first fumble. They reviewed it and the play stood

Watching on TV there were no bad calls. I thought the officiating was actually pretty good.

I don't see how you can say this. There were some bad calls on both teams. And a number of missed calls that seemed kind of obvious to me, particularly the MSU fumble that never was, made all the more frustrating when Fournette fumbled later after his knee was down and momentum stopped.

I think the crowd got to the Refs more than it did Miss State. It was amateur hour out there in the first half especially.

I had no problem with the officiating. The running into the kicker penalty was called correctly as well as both the fumbles. There was a ton of holding done in the first half by LSU that did not get called once I don't believe. I won't see officiating was bad but it did not affect the outcome

It is not so much the on-field officiating, but the absolute corruption of the replay officials. We are constantly told that obvious plays cannot be overturned due to not enough evidence, yet these corrupt assholes overturn two calls in the game that had NO overwhelming evidence to do so.

I am fearful that ole Alabama will get some kind of overturn (or not) that benefits them in the coming seasons. Just watch, they always seem to get those calls while we are told the evidence was not strong enough to benefit anyone but them.

If anyone cannot see this bias, then you are part of the bias. It is like the replay goes in with a pre-determined decision that needs to be proven otherwise, call on the field be damned.

I felt the same way about the Bama-Ole Miss sequence where OM settled for a FG instead of TD - possibly game-changing. Refs called TD, but replay said his knee touched when ball was at the half-yard line. Fine, probably correct. Then before going down, OM back extends the ball over the goal line. Refs spot it again at the half yard line, replay says correct. Give me a frigging break. If they're gonna split hairs to help Bama, they better split 'em for everyone or there's gonna be a revolt.

I don't like the replay rules in college football. The ability for the "upstairs guys" to stop play to review a call takes away from the game and personally, I think at times calls into question the integrity of the officiating.

I think that they should adopt the NFL system of the coaches making the request outside of the final 2 minutes tied to time outs also let them review all questionable scoring plays.

I hate the Stabler rule for fumbles by the offense.

I was okay with everything until the Fournette fumble on fourth down. There was no way there could have been evidence to reverse that.

Do you know the difference in running into the kicker and hitting the kicker? Just because he sold it doesn't mean he didn't run into him. He did. Don't run into him and there's no problem. I can guarantee you that's what your ST coach is telling them today.
