Why won’t anybody bring up the missed (incredibly obvious) pass interference the play before that gave mich the ball?

Mich should’ve never even had a chance to run that play

Officials did everything they could to keep the corn and blue team in it and they still never led for a single second

Needs to be removed from the game...

edit: I am pulling for TCU. Mich was robbed
I saw the replay a few times during the game and couldn't understand how it wasn't a TD. After the game, I watched the replay a bunch of times and sort of understand why it wasn't. The receiver was falling as the ball came down, and his entire leg was clearly down when the ball hit his hands at the 1/2 yard line. The problem is he appeared to briefly bobble it as he rolled backward. He clearly caught the ball and was well into the endzone at that point. They must have believed he had full possession when it hit his hands (which it didn't appear to me). That would have been a TD in the NFL. I don't think there was enough on the replay to overturn the TD call. Maybe someone on here has better insight on college rules.

You showed exactly why replay needs to go. It took you how long to see what was called? Replay was supposed to "right" what was indisputably a wrong call...

How it is used, however, is to micro manage a game. Every play and every touchdown does not need to be reviewed. If a review needs to go frame by frame to see if a call was correct then the play stands as called.

Do like the NHL, there is a booth and their only responsibility is to do replay reviews. They have 30 seconds to make the reversal, if they can not see enough evidence in that amount of time, the screen goes black and the call stands. Each coach has 2 challenges per half and if wrong a time out is charged. The game officials do not have to go to a small screen and watch the review. This is killing the game.

Yes, this is it. If the play had been a sideline pass for a completion on his possession or not, it would have been incomplete! Possession was completed out of bounds! Possession on this play was completed in the end zone, so a touchdown! The bobble as in the pass has to be completed on the ground. Which is where he had complete control in the end zone! A bizzare situation, I admit for the officials, but it was first called a touchdown!!!

100% agree. These 5 minute reviews are ignorant. If you cant tell in 30 seconds then move on with the play stands as called.
