Must be nice to be an elite.

Refs are actually calling penalties on Bama.

Other than that face mask on Burrows 3rd down run.

I missed the explanation on that complete pass. What did they say? It looked like he was forced out but never established himself back in bounds before making the catch.

Agree. The offiicials never explained it - just confirmed it as a catch. That was a bad call.

You and about 20 million others missed that explanation. He wasn’t forced out. And there was never a split shot of his toe and the catch to show he even got back in. And even if he did, its illegal touching for him to be the first one to touch the ball. But somehow it was still “confirmed”. Pretty damn crazy.

My tipsy analysis of it.... He caught it but the refs missed the illegal touching call and you can’t throw a flag on a reviewed play. So it was a missed call on the illegal touching. But because they didn’t throw the flag during the play, you can’t reverse the catch

Calvin Ridley wasn't forced out either, so who knows what that term even means.

No "home cooking" this game. The Bama mystique is gone

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

The replay ref was only reviewing if he made the catch in bounds, and had control all the way to the ground. They can’t review illegal touching, or any other penalty revealed by the replay. My two cents
