I'd take the 2 points and the kickoff to James - but as there was no end zone camera on the line, how do you overturn the call with no video proof on ball placement?

ummm it would have been a touchback Gator....

probably the written rules say you can't, however, it's a travesty that the featured game on ESPN at 7PM doesn't have a camera on the goal line.

Except you'd get neither. You had possession and fumbled it into the endzone for a touchback.

What was your gut reaction when you saw the replay?

The original angle sure seemed to show him short of the endzone when #6 hit the ball on the other side of his leg.

A better question, how do you immediately call that a TD without consulting your compadres?

I was at a friend's dad's 80th birthday party, and only saw it on replay. Looked like it could have been fumbled prior to crossing the line, but the only replays I saw from other angles were inconclusive. Which makes it a TD under the current rules. i hope Doe runs steps until he pukes.

Go get more cameras or change the rules if you want it changed. Either way we are still currently BCS #1 with a Heisman candidate. I'll learn to cope with the rest of the noise.

I agree that they should have more cameras on the goal line, but that was conclusive to me. ESPN studio guys after the game also thought so - OK, that doesn't help my cause much. :tongue2:

A proper call there would have taught that hot dog his Leon Lett lesson.

I really don't understand why TV crews don't place a set of cameras on each goal line.....:(

Cost would be the drawback, but at least for big games, put a microchip in the ball which tracks the exact location and orientation of the ball for situations like those.

Regardless of my fan affiliation, that's still two sets of calls by two different crew's that have given the nod to UF while in a potential game changing situation.


Call it what you will, but it doesn't smell right to me.

Anybody remember the holding call the refs invented late in the 4th Qtr of the 2007 Backyard Brawl?
Shades of Big East wanting that BCS spot...

Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to idiocy, and all that. Especially in this case, as without the synched up frames from both cameras at once it was very hard to tell exactly where he lost the ball, since the angle on both cameras was terrible. As far as the cost of putting four cameras to watch each goal line from both directions - c'mon. Cameras are cheap nowadays, especially when you're not using them for broadcast. You could cover the cost for an entire conference by passing a hat at a single UF game, same with the Buckeyes and the Big Ten. I'd like to see more cameras for the replay people in general. And all you'd have to do to sell it is remind people "Hey, remember (insert famous screwjob)?" In Florida and LSU's case, Auburn in 2006 would be the selling point.

there were GREAT camera angles in both of those games.
as in every human being on the planet not employed by the SEC officiating offices was able to see plain as day that those were bad calls.

the ones in the LSU/Auburn game were not reviewable since they were [strike]rapings[/strike] penatlies.

but that incomplete pass they called a fumble in the UF/Auburn game was just atrocious.
Did the officials really believe that leak went through his entire throwing motion, right up until the point of release, then stopped the forward motion and dropped the ball?
and the ball somehow miraculously continued moving forward until it hi an Auburn lineman?
