I think it looks pretty clear that the Bama receiver lost control of the ball just before he landed on his back. You can see it best in the last view on the video below. What's the opinion of the rant on this play?

People argue over it, but you can clearly see both battling for control on the ball while going to the ground. and Eric Reid won.

Interception..BUT:

If the refs call that a catch on the field, they wouldn't overturn it to an INT. That's how bang-bang that play was.

clearly that was the case and it was an unbelievable play considering he was guarding another man when the ball was thrown

Looked like Williams had it in his hands when he landed on his back to me. I thought that was down but guess not. Props to Reid for pulling it off.

Must have control of the ball through the contact with the ground. By the time that happened Reid had it. Plus, he was not fully in control. Reid won that battle. Correct call.

Reid had one of the best defensive performances in one game that I've ever seen. Seems like he was in on every big play last night.

My opinion was Maze floated the shite out of that pass Oh well, I would have probably missed Williams all together.

You have to control the ball through the whole play for it to be a catch. The bama player lost control as he hit the ground and the LSU player caught it, therefore LSU ball... Take away the LSU player and the bama player loses the ball as he hits the ground, and it's an incomplete pass. Good call by the refs

The receiver has to have control of the ball through the play. He lost control either falling or when he hit the ground. Since the fell into the lap of the DB then it's an interception. Very clear.

I think if it had been ruled on the field as a catch for Bama then it would have been reviewed and reversed to an incompletion. But the int ruling negated that and there wasn't a way they could overrule that and say it was a catch.

If he hadn't bobble the ball then it would have been a catch for Bama.

Reid left his guy and chased this receiver down. Just "boring" ole defensive play that people don't like to see and that doesn't win championships.
