The catch not catch in 4th

Call on the field would not have been changed, either way. That's how close it was.

I do believe the nose hit the ground.

Butvyes. They showed that angle

You’re better off just not even playing along with them. It was extremely close, the rear angle from behind the receiver definitely shows the ball grazing the grass, but the sideline angle looks like it may have been on his arm at the time. Kind of impossible to square the two unless you have a frame-perfect sync of the two shots to determine which happened first.

BUT, the fact it’s that close means you can’t overturn the call on the field. It was the right ruling.

Everybody hates Georgia and if any close call goes UGA’s way, they’re gonna try to turn it into the scandal of the century. Nobody’s gonna talk about Lagway clearly fumbling earlier in the game or the phantom false start for Gunner “clapping too loud. They see what they want to see.

Truth.

Bama goes on a 10 year run of unchallenged supremacy and the media falls all over them. We take them to OT in 2017 and Bama still finds a way to win. Undying ESPN adoration.

We get it together and win back to back titles, the first against Bama, and suddenly were talking "Georgia fatigue" in 2023, and without Saban in 2024, suddenly Bama is some scrappy upstart, underdog story.

It's mind boggling.

I think it was a catch. Gunner would have won it even if they did overrule it though

Gonzales Post Game Presser

Fwiw watched tv replay just now on way back home, they did NOT show the direct shot from south-north directly facing the player from upfield on the replay they showed in stadium.

It was the first or second replay they showed in stadium and actually you can hear UGA fans cheer when they show it. It more showed the ball hit ground between arms. They only showed it once.

Just making the observation the most definitive view wasn’t shown on tv but in the stadium once and the cheer you hear on TV was UGA fans.

Agree, Lagway didn’t fumble.

In the Lagway case, it didn’t come out enough imo prior to ball hitting ground and his body touching.

I thought the full real time clip is better as you can see the ball bounce into his pads. It obviously hit between his forearms and bounced up.

Interesting. The main espn broadcast I recorded did not show that view. Must have been an alternative feed.
