Anybody else here think that punt went out at the 2" line. Isnt that something they could have reviewed? That was at a key point in the game and could have made the difference between winning and losing.
I thought the exact same thing. But then I realized that it is the SEC officials duty to negate a good play for LSU
The ball clearly went right over the pylon which makes it a touchback. But, a review of the play wouldn't have killed them.
Remember, the guy in the both is an official and he most likely looked at it 4 or 5 times before the next play was run, at least. Just about every play is reviewed and if the guy in the both thinks there is enough evidence, he calls for a field review.
I don't remember them showing a replay from an angle that provided a definitive answer one way or the other. The zebra was standing next to the pylon and had the best look. When I saw it live, I thought it went out of bounds before the end zone. When I saw it in slow motion I wasn't so sure.
I watched it several times in slow motion last night. I can not tell for certain one way or the other. The ref had a bettter view than any camera had, that's for sure. Good call ref!
When you watched it in slow-mo, did anyone else notice that the ref wasn't even looking at the ball rolling. IMO, he missed where it went out of bounds. It was inside the pylon IMO.
