Jabar Gaffney's 2000 TD vs. Cody Blanc's Dropped Pass

[DERELICK_MY_VOLS]

If Jabar Gaffney's TD catch in 2000 was good enough to decide a football game in Neyland Stadium....then Cody Blanc had a reception yesterday! There I said it....had to get it off my chest.

Great victory! Go Vols!

Ehhh we won yesterday, doesn't matter. At least the Pig fumble debate was about a call that directly impacted the outcome of the game.

Neither was a catch

Maybe I am just plain dumb or something but this went over my head!

Edit! I am dumb. I get it now

This.

They didn't have replay in 2000 and if they had, they would have overruled the TD catch.

Everyone had replay in 2000 except the officials.

Al "candy" Matthews was the difference!

I really thought it was a catch by Blanc. But as for Gaffney there wasn't any instant replay back then

The gaffney DROP was one of the worst calls in football history! They also blew a call on a TD that Travis Henry scored, but they called him short. Two bad calls=14 pt swing. If I recall correctly, the margin of victory was less than 14 pts.

Interesting side note:
The following week the same officiating crew blew several key calls in the BAMA/Vandy game. May very well have cost Vandy a huge upset. I read somewhere that the crew was benched the following week by the NCAA or sec after having questionable calls reviewed.
