Not true. The entire ball has to get out. I think it did but it was very close. They should have looked at it

Think of it like a touchdown. If the ball crosses the plane, it is in the endzone. Same coming out. If any part of the ball is crossing the plane, its a safety

The UK back had the ball out of the end zone just prior to the hit from #9.

I thought it was pretty close. It may have come down to whether or not the ball was in an upright/more vertical position vs horizontal. If it was being held in a more upright position he probably had it all the way out but you couldn't tell from the camera angle.

Definitely was worth another look.

Oh trust me I noticed.


The safety thing. Him talking about the QB needs to protect the ball and not take a sack because they’re in FG range when it would’ve been about a 80yard FG. Said another 3 and out for Auburn right after we got one or two first downs on the drive.

It almost felt like they were watching another game on the side while announcing ours

Oh, I totally agree with this. However, after they reviewed a clear KY touchdown and said it wasn't AND THEN called that bullshite targeting on the interception return, replay proved it was a waste of time Saturday.

Dude clearly didn’t get out of the endzone completely with the ball

I thought the same until I saw the replay from a different angle and it certainly looked as though he got out.

However, I do think they probably should have taken a quick look at it.

I’ll disagree here. The RBs initial momentum took him even or just over the goal line. Watched it twice.


That's the way I saw it. His initial surge just got the ball out from the EZ line. Anything after that didn't matter.

Also, once the call was made on the field, even a review would not have been conclusive to overturn it. Not with the camera angles.

Not as clear as I initially thought. His knee gets real close to the ground before he gets stood up. Still haven’t seen an angle that definitely shows the knee down or not.

I think he got in but I understand why they stuck with the call on the field.

Again I see it. Think the rule is bullshite and it’s a weak call but I see what they saw which made them call it.

You had a camera angle that showed past his back while he was carrying the ball in the left hand?

Produce it.

No camera proof to remove all doubt. Play on the field stands as called.

The ball is under the same rules as a touchdown. If the tip of the ball is over the line it's in the endzone. In/out doesn't matter it must cross the edge of the line closer to the one yard line. Out entirely. In by an eyelash.

There should have been a review ....But no one would have seen enough to overturn the call on the field.

He corrected himself right after that.

You just can't tell if the balls out or not with the angle in the gif. His head/shoulders, which look to get out, but the ball is tucked and lower, so if we had an angle the other way, we'd have a better chance of knowing.

It still amazes me with the money that's in the game now why we(power 5 conferences as a whole) can't have high def cameras all over the fields for these reviews. How do we not have at least two cameras right down the goal lines?

Seems to be a lot of confusion on what is a TD with the ball and what is a safety with the ball.

The front part of the white line facing the field (not the endzone) is the endzone plane.

For a touchdown only a portion of the ball has to break the plane from the field to be a touchdown.

On a safety the entire ball has to be across the entire field side plane of the goal line for it not to be a safety. If any portion of the ball is touching the plane of the field side of the goal line it is still a safety.

Let me clarify. The ball was in the runner's left arm. Based on the camera angle the left arm does not go past the goal line. However, there is no view allowing for the call on the field to be reversed.

So like was asked should it have been reviewed. Absolutely. That was my point

I'm not sure what the replay officials use, but an excellent 4K resolution camcorder runs around $3 grand for a Sony, even less for a Black Magic or equivalent. With 4K you can digitally zoom in with virtually no blurring of the image.

It does defy explanation as to why there aren't small high resolution cameras with deep focus lenses mounted on the goallines and attached to the down and distance markers for every televised game.
