I'm trying to tell my buddy who is a big Florida fan about the "phantom catch" of 2000. He says it didn't happen. I've tried googling and YouTubing it and I can't find the video anywhere. Does anyone have a link to it?

So, it probably wasn't a catch, but it's not like UF wouldn't have scored on the next play or at worst sent the game into OT with a chip shot field goal. That play definitely didn't lose us the game like some people telling the revisionist history would have you believe. Also, even in today's game with instant replay, the call would almost certainly have stood. There is nothing close to indisputable evidence for either side, just the close up shot from behind the play, and the far off shot from the sideline broadcast camera. How CBS didn't manage to get a better camera angle is beyond me.

We definately should have won that game. I agree that one play shouldn't have even mattered.

Sorry, replay would have overturned that call. The indisputable evidence shows he never controlled the ball. And you can say that one play lost the game because it put us down with 14 seconds left. I would rather it be the correct call and make them beat/tie us rather than hand it to them.

It never should have come down to that. IIRC, we had the ball inside the 10 on MULTIPLE occasions, and just kept walking away with field goals. Just one touchdown on any of those opportunities and the game would have been out of reach. AJ Suggs also threw an awful pick 6, and in spite of all of that, if we could have just converted that 3rd and 1 with 2:30 left, UF would have had to burn all the timeouts just to have a prayer of getting the ball back. There is almost no way they could have gone 90 yards with no timeouts. UT had about 10 chances to put that game away, and simply never did it.

None of those camera angles show the indisputable evidence that is required by rule to overturn a call. You can put the pieces of several different angles together and pretty much know for certain he never really held it, but that's just not the way replay works. Without a close up camera angle from the side that shows the recievers hands and the ball, that call would have stood, even if everybody, even the officials pretty much knew he didn't hold it.

the whole point is
that the ball was never in his possession because he never made a "football move" which is required of challenges of possession now. It hit and went straight.down to the ground. I don't care what team it is or would have been, I would say no catch in real time as well as replay.
But it is what it is.

I agree with this. However, if they had called it incomplete on the field, that couldn't have been overturned either. Another factor would be that in today's time, I'm sure the networks bring several more cameras to the games than the did over a decade ago, so the close up angle from the front of the play wouldn't be missing. I was just saying that with the camera angles that do exist, there isn't any 100% proof for either side of the argument.

terrible call...I forgot how awful that call was...but I agree, a correct call here does not promise us a win...it would have been 3rd down...we should have put that game away! Travis Henry was a BEAST that day.
