For those at the game, did any official not follow the play to the endzone? Did they wave their arms or blow a whistle or even start to run in to spot the ball?

Please just the facts, no need for another diatribe thread. I am looking for any reason to support the RULING ON THE FIELD statement after their team meeting, right or wrong. If he had been down or otherwise supplied video evidence BY RULE it would have been OK. I fear it was the result of the hour or so of consultation and input Kiffin had with his personal official along that sideline that those in the stadium did not get to see. A really bad look that needs addressing.

Thanks....

Couldn’t see from the tv but the one consistent thing was the ref on the Ole Miss sideline always spotted TN short and Ole Miss long. Go back and watch the game and you will see. When both refs came in with the spot he was always short.

At least one if not 2 was following the play to the endzone. They then proceeded to spot the ball for the extra point. After, we were lined up for the point they had a long meeting and waived it off.

This was a 4th and 2 play. There's no way Corral would just stand there and not be trying to scramble toward the 1st down line. There was no whistle of the play blown dead. The other 21 guys on the field were still playing. Kiffin was crying that Corral thought the play was blown dead. They were setting up a deep pass play, the QB was surprised by how quickly our linemen were on him, and he just 'froze' hoping they wouldn't notice he was still holding the ball.
We then sacked him and stripped the ball. The play was never whistled dead for forward progress. No whistle. No official went to mark the line where Corral was sacked, and the back judge ran with Baron all the way to the endzone. We were robbed of what ended up being the winning touchdown. Plain and simple.

I don't remember, did we score on the ensuing drive after they overturned the scoop and score?

They said “forward progress” isn’t reviewable but we scored. Scoring plays are reviewable and so are turnovers. So why wasn’t it reviewed?

The refs stole 6 points from us and we lost by 5.

No but iirc we punted, got the safety on their next series and then drove for a td. So we kinda got 9 points instead of 7. The question would really be about momentum that would have given us

I was at the game and no one heard a whistle whatsoever. It was TD no doubt about it. Worst part is both teams lined up for the extra point and that was when the refs decided to change the play.

This would have made up for the muffed punt which is a mistake you cannot make in a key SEC game. Anyway this call will be one of the all time puzzlers involving SEC officiating.

Both officials in the offensive backfield ( referee and back judge) ran with the play to the end zone and neither made any gesture to indicate the runner had been ruled down.

Given the lengthy delay before the announcement that the whistle had blown the play dead, hard to come up with any explanation but replay officials at the SEC office got on the headset and told them to disallow the TD.

And if that play is the benchmark for when to blow the whistle when the QB is tackled, how could the whistle not have been blown on the safety before he was able to throw the ball?

That is the rub with me. They did not say the play was under review, or attributed the change in the call to replay, but that it was judged on the field he was in the grasp or whatever they call it today and as you said after everybody lined up for the PAT.

I’m sure they’ll review it today and say it was a mistake and yet still think it was wrong for the fans to show their displeasure last night. The definition of a double standard. Refs need to focus on doing their jobs and not what they can get away with. Go ahead and threaten a forfeit. It won’t happen anyway because of the money the networks will lose. If refs can’t call a game fair then I’d rather take the forfeit than continue to certain loss and risk player injury. Vol fans should do the exact same thing when they bring that sh*t show back to Neyland against the Bulldogs.

I said the exact thing about the safety. Oh well it is what it is. Nothing will ever happen

I don't recall them saying they whistled the play dead, as no whistle blew. They claimed they ruled the play dead. They just didn't tell the players or follow any actual rules of football. The play doesn't end when the ref thinks it's over. It ends when someone whistles the play dead or at the very least signals it dead. Neither happened.

Watch the above video. Watch the player in motion. Watch the other QB set a pick block. Watch the QB eyes.

Tell me this wasn’t a Statue of Liberty type play.

Tell me this wasn’t designed.

Tell me we didn’t blow it up.

Tell me one other player stopped playing.

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.

WR had an easy TD.
