    WB,
    The idiot should not have been on the field. We are in complete and total agreement about that.

    The call should NOT have been overturned if the standard is indisputable video evidence. It just wasn't there. Maybe he touched the ball. Maybe he didn't. But it darn sure wasn't conclusive either way. If it's not conclusive, the call on the field stands, right? And the call on the field was UT ball.

    At the end of the day, it doesn't make a hill of beans worth of difference. The call had no effect on the eventual outcome of the game.

      I think after seeing the replays the officials saw all the players and coaches on the field and thought "damn we should have thrown a flag there" so they made up for it with saying he touched the ball and you get the same results. As bad as the overturn was it was just as bad as no flag was thrown.

          Ok why was the play reversed? And it cant be because he was on the field bc thats not a re viewable play, and he didnt touch the ball either so what was the reason? The refs said bc he touched the ball which he didnt

            Who the heck cares? It meant nothing in regards to the outcome.

              I definitely agree with you but see that is what is wrong about all this. The refs shouldnt have overturned that play and I think it was bc guys were on the field and not that they thought he touched the ball, but thats there own fault for not seeing it and throwing a flag
