Who cares. Auburn lost.

If one millimeter of the ball is on the line it's a safety
This is correct, IIRC.
If a part of the dead ball is on the ball carrier’s goal line, it’s a safety.
Otherwise, the entire ball must be beyond the goal line.

I seem to remember getting a couple of downvotes for pointing out that it indeed was a safety when it happened. It didn’t help that Fowler was busy getting the rule entirely wrong.

Much worse. No guarantee that AU would have scored if they got the ball back with 3 min left in the game. MSU lost because of that play.

That's not correct. The entire ball has to be out of the endzone to avoid the safety. Otherwise, it's breaking the plane, which is considered in the endzone.
I wonder if officials had this view during the game. I was flipping channels and drinking.
I agree that this is the rule.. but I don’t understand the rule at all.
If scoring a touchdown.. the tip of the ball simply has to break the plane.
If trying for a first down.. the tip of the ball simply has to break the plane.
If trying to avoid a safety.. the whole ball has to break the plane.
So why is the tip of the ball the spot on every part of the field.. except for your own goal line.
It’s a stupid rule imo.

It's pretty consistent IMO. If any part of the ball is in the endzone then the entire ball is considered in the endzone.

Basically the same concept as scoring a TD just reversed.

I get what you are saying, but I don’t agree with it being consistent.
The front tip of the ball is the spot on the rest of the field.. on a safety play.. it is the back tip of the ball.

Where would you spot the ball if only a portion has to leave the endzone? Everything is measured by the tip of the ball in football, so would you place part of the ball in the endzone on the next play ? It is pretty clear why the rule is written that way.

Ok I’ve let it go this long after I saw my mistake to see if anyone caught it.
#92 on defense is being held. Spot of the ball wouldn’t have even mattered then.

Yeah, the tip of the bal, and that's what confirms that officials are "corrupt"

Not corrupt like they were back before replay but some of the things they are missing are so bad and so easy to get right.
I don't want to slow the games down anymore but there is no reason not to use replay to get bad calls overturned.
That NFL experiment with regards to pass interference was a disaster but it still should be in play to prevent what happened against Saints in NFC champ game.

you're right, the big bad SEC officials have it out for Auburn when they're playing a

Big 10 team?

I thought it was close, but I’m not gonna complain about it. Penn state got hosed twice. What I will complain about is the damned targeting rule. McClain had two options on that play, do what he did, or let the guy score. The rule needs work.
