On that debacle in the end zone when Bryce was sacked…throw out all the bullshite they called then overturned. Why was it not called intentional grounding and therefore a safety?
Bryce was clearly throwing the ball away to avoid a sack. He did not get the ball past the line of scrimmage, it’s debatable whether or not he was outside the tackle box, and there was no receiver in the area. The only thing I can come up with besides the total incompetence of the Bi XII officiating crew, is the ball hitting the Texas player’s helmet before hitting the ground. I’m not certain if there is something in the grounding rule that negates the grounding if am opposing player touches the ball first. Anyone???

The ball hit off of a Tejas helmet.

Bryce was never down and it appeared there was a back in the area he was trying to get it to and sort dinged off the Texas guy.

Don't need a rules expert.
*Bryce wasn't down
*Bryce was throwing the ball toward our player
*The ball was deflected by their player to make it incomplete.
There is no grounding when the QB is throwing to a teammate and the ball gets deflected by the opposition.
So it was an incomplete pass.
They did the review to determine if their was targeting after the incomplete pass. They determined there wasn't targeting so no personal foul.
Since no foul, it us 4th on the one yard line.
It isn't even that hard or complicated, it's just the refs did a bad job explaining and Alabama haters (plus anti-SEC broadcast) wanted to cry about something.

I never said Bryce was down, I just wanted to know why grounding wasn’t called. He was all but down and threw the ball away to avoid the sack. I don’t think anyone including Bryce knew where it was going, he just heaved it towards the line of scrimmage. I will accept that the fact that it hit a Longhorn in the head first negated the grounding.

I mean, that is the rule...

There’s an angle floating where Bryce appears down, but it doesn’t really matter because the roughing the passer holds in that scenario. So it negates the safety
I think that’s why the ruling took so long, they needed to check whether he was down (does roughing apply) and then the validity of the throw itself

You can't add intentional grounding after a review if it wasn't called.
Why was it not called?
Camp 1: He was throwing the ball forward and it hit a Texas player.
Camp 2.: The original penalty was roughing the passer with targeting. This was overruled. If the original penalty was intentional grounding it could have been called. The fact that it wasn't means you can't call it after.

He was throwing it towards an eligible receiver (Jase)!
