Barn TD at the end

[MDVols]

I'm happy with the win but...... was that a catch? No review, no nothing. I dont think he had control of the ball, should have been a pick or at least reviewed. And I guess the Barn bought the holding get out of jail free card today.

 

[chattaboogie]

I think it was a td

 

[JCHateSteve]

It didn't look like he had possession to me. But I haven't gone back and watched it again.

 

[Cornvol]

I didnt think it was. Certainly would have been an int in NFL

 

[Electric Orange]

I was thinking that too. It didn't look like he had possession. They sure took their sweet ass time to decide that was targeting a few plays prior. Why not take a second to verify its actually a catch?

Gaffney thinks it was a TD.

That whole last drive Auburn seemed to have quite the helping hand.

 

[vollygirl]

He never had possession. He twirled the ball around his body like he was a majorette with a baton.

 

[VolFootballIsLife]

Clearly a catch to me. Held it behind his back and when the D player tried to swipe it he justcket him have it.

 

[james_govols]

They did show a replay of the catch, and it was definitely a catch.

 

[wmcovol]

Refs stopped the clock twice when forward progress was clearly stopped on the field.

There’s a reason why it’s tough to win Alabama. Refs are 1reason.

 

[Hacksaw]

He never possessed the ball. Should have been an INT and Tennessee ball. But it was far from the only bad call the refs made.

 

[Orangeslice13]

Had they hit the ground it wouldn’t have been a catch as he didn’t maintain control
Even after watching the replay I’m not sure it would have been called a catch with an official review

 

[BJSforVols]

Did not look like he ever had control to me. Should have at least been reviewed. A lot of things went in favor of the Barn at the end. The clock was operating in an Auburn manner for the last 2 minutes. The no catch TD was just the topping.

 

[GAVol]

I thought he had it, butThe ball never really seemed to stop moving. Can't believe they didn't stop to take a look

 

[C-south]

Yep. They stopped the clock when a guy’s forward progress was whistled dead in bounds. They stopped a clock when a guy was clearly tackled near the sideline but in bounds. They stopped the clock on the 4th and 4 first down and didn’t start it back until they snapped the ball.

 

[Gandalf]

While everyone (including me) was already in shock and giddiness about the win - Pruitt was pretty unhappy about their last drive and mentioned it first thing in his comments coming off the field.

 

[UTK]

It was close but I think he possessed it just long enough for it to be a catch.

 

[TNHopeful505]

I initially thought "that's not a catch, that's an INT."

But.....watch the guy's body language. He knew he made the catch, and so when the defensive player started off with the ball, he made no effort to catch him.

If there would have been doubt, he would have instantly gone after the ball, but no. He caught it, and he knew he caught it.

But who cares? WWTFA

 

[lukeneyland]

Refs were trying to screw us the whole game. But we weren't going to let them beat us. So damn proud

Watch it again
The Barn receiver does react and starts to chase the Vol defender

He caught it at first but i dont think he controlled it, just kinda let momentum take it down, I think thats why he did act that way.

 

[vol-un-tear]

SEC refs see what they want. That guy never had possession and they didn’t care to review. That head ref is one of the worst!

I’ve seen obvious catches be reviewed. This questionable catch should at least been looked at and I honestly don’t think he ever had any control of the ball.

 

[maotai]

That whole last drive of Auburn smelled of some home cookin on the plains. Luckily we wouldn't let'em.

 

[Alto1]

Never had possession of the ball and should of been an interception.

Blown call on out of bounds tackle call that was not. Tackled in field of play clock should of keep running.

Officiating sucked the last couple of minutes. Both plays should be reported to SEC.
