The spot from the refs to make a 1st down in the Georgia game

Even had a replay official take his time with it.

 

I already made my opinion on this matter known. Best case they "confirm" initial spot and ruling worst case the get the "call stands" due to not having indisputable video to overturn the call. And that goes both ways because the key to that review was the original ruling/spot on field was marked at the 1st down. Had it been ruled short originally I'd say the same thing.... no indisputable video to overturn call. It really made.it worse.when they re spotted it and placed it 2 ft further back from where the ball.really was.

 

Watched replay in slo mo several times. Very close and was a matter of 3” either way. How they overturned the call with “indisputable” is baffling and to make it 2’ short is borderline criminal. Changed the 4th down play call for sure.

 

All the UGA fans I watched the game with thought it was a first down.

 

It is not this play. Watch closely to every game we play. They mark us 2 ft farther back almost every play and their players 8 inches farther forward. It is not every ref in sec but every ref on each crew seems to be biased against us. It is getting old

 

Not sure what you mean. The rule is that you are down when any part of your body OTHER THAN your foot or hand touches the ground. (Emphasis is mine)

 

Every fan base says this.

 

If the refs had spotted the ball correctly the Gators would have won the game going away.

 

Called a first down on the field as I recall. I have no idea how they could've overturned the call based on video review.

 

Kirby apparently is a “ref” too!

 

Kirby got out there and specifically asked them to review- he put his full weight behind it.
The refs, frankly, are intimidated by this 2 time NC winner with the 25 game streak.
He talks- they listen. They are human- and the SEC office knows who has brought home the bacon.
Esp w/ Saban aging as he has. The refs want to stay in the SEC office's good graces.

So they saw what they wanted to see, and gave Kirby what he wanted.
I think CBN was so taken aback that he made a bad decision to go for it.
I'm sure it seemed so unfair- and it was. He thought he could right the wrong and erase the injustice.

He does need to change this way of thinking. IMO that was a mistake.

 

I thought the ball is marked at it's position when the knee hits the ground. The refs seemed to mark the ball where the knee hit the ground not where the ball was. It is all very confusing and inconsistent.

 

Are you really asking how the replay refs could get that wrong? Dude, we all saw the same thing — that whole replay scam was deliberate to kill our early momentum.

 

The worst part is that the ball is spotted where his knee is in the fram you posted. Not even close to where the ball is.
