I guess we saw a different replay.

I've watched it several times. Oh well, congrats to Reid for coming up with it.

The call was made on the field. The replay booth confirmed. That's the harsh reality. I'll never bitch about it, and any Bama fan that does is just a pussy IMO.

If Reid had ripped the ball out at the end, it would have definitely been an incomplete pass because Williams didn't have control as he took it to the ground. Because Reid took the ball while Williams didn't have control, it was an INT. People are confusing simultaneous possession with two guys fighting for the ball. Simultaneous possession only occurs when both players firmly have control of the ball. Neither player had control of the ball until they hit the ground and Reid took control without the ball hitting the ground.
