Except he was right. That was totally a catch. I've never seen a player hold the ball that long and it not be called a catch.
In slow mo? Cause in slow mo it looked long AF. In real time I thought incompletion right when it happened. The former official they have commenting for them thought the same thing.

I’m sure many of you remember football before video reviews. Your opinion; better or worse? I’m not sure. It’s good to correct the egregious stuff, but all the hair splitting gets old. Gotta love how that play gets overturned and the no call on the PI in the OU game stands.
I liked it more before replay. The call was either good or bad and you dealt with it

Ya. Could have gone either way, so surprised they overturned it.

Well then that’s fine. Get rid of slow mo in instant replay because that crap happens all the time where a ball looks incomplete in real time but called complete in slow mo.

Couldn't care less what Bill Lemonier thinks, I've thought he was wrong 95% of the time before this game; and nothing he's said in this game has made me change that opinion. I thought it was incomplete at first, but I also couldn't see anything live, I just assumed the ball came out right away. However, the ref standing right there thought it was a fumble, and the replay showed him holding the ball more than long enough to be a completion.

A little surprised OSU didn’t go for two. Fourth quarter is usually when “conventional wisdom” says to start going for two, up one point.

That was the reason I was upset. Because it was overturned
That's what I don't get. The ref standing right there, who appeared to be able to see the ball, thought it was a catch and fumble in real time; and as far as I could see, the replay did more than enough to reinforce that thought. How was there enough to overturn?

These OSU receivers are pretty good. I am impressed with the technique of the DB's as well.

I will admit I was wrong about one thing. The crown did hit, I hadn't seen a good angle of the replay. Doesn't change anything else about what I said though. "Leading" means he intentionally lowered his head and lead with his helmet. Watch the freaking replay and take off your blinders. He lowered his shoulder to make a tackle, now I might be mistaken, but I'm fairly certain the head is attached to the shoulders, so the head followed. When he lowered his shoulder to make the tackle, Lawrence was standing at full height. All things being the same from that point, his shoulder hits Lawrence in the torso. Instead, Lawrence started to duck when he saw the hit coming, causing the helmets to hit. It most certainly does matter, because it's the difference between intent to do something wrong, and incidental contact because of the way Lawrence moved.
Intent has nothing to do with it.

Agreed, there's essentially no advantage to being up by two instead of one. Seemed like going for two there made sense.

Agree, that call on the field at the very least had no business being overturned. Seemed like a little rigging/shafting on the refs part there. That was the biggest play of the game I thought.

Yes it does. That's the whole point of the targeting penalty. You are intentionally targeting a player with a hit meant to cause injury. He lowered his body to make a tackle, and Lawrence lowered his head to where they were going to contact heads.

Fine. Find the rule and point out where it says "intentionally" and I'll agree with you no problem. You're arguing about a rule that has been consistently called for years now. None of us like it, but that's the way it is. If you're still arguing about this you must have an OSU blankie.

Are you two really still going on about the dam targeting call???

I think OSU should have gone for it on 4th down. Clemson is going to drive the field and kick a FG with under a minute left now.

OSU up by 2 points and Clemson has the ball. Can they drive down and win the game or will OSU shut them down???
