re: Richt Gets Response from SEC Officials

I think it was just one of those calls that could literally be argued both ways to death.

And I know CMR (understandably) tried, but there is no reviewing that. It's just not possible.

True. The referees have a few seconds to make decisions. League offices can tear film apart to determine a correct call. Bad calls happen to everybody, and generally they even out. It cost us in this game. Hopefully it will even out later in the season. All the finger pointing and arguing in the world doesn't change the call or make us the winner. It goes down as a "W" for South Carolina. Time to move on and look to the next 2 1/2 months of football we have left.

I agree had it been a foot short it would not have mattered because there was no clear shot of the ball and where forward momentum ceased. Richt had to challenge though it was his last chance to stay in the game. That is the way it happens sometimes and if the situation were turned around we would be arguing with the Gamecocks as to why it was a first down
