"Here's what the rule says, when the offense substitutes a player, then the umpire is supposed to cover the ball and not let the ball be snapped until the defense has an opportunity to react to the substitution, so, by rule, technically, the ball probably should have never gotten snapped," Goode said. "So, is that an error, well, it could be."

Here is the entire article.

By saying could be he's trying to stay as neutral as possible. It's just a really nice way of saying "they blew it" in the land of Political correctness

Somebody in a previous thread cited a rule that when the referee says a game is over, the game is over. In my 45 years of watching college football (or pro, for that matter), I have never seen a review when the referee says the game is over. What is the rule covering reviews? Can the officials actually declare a game is over, and then review to see if it is actually over?

I am pretty sure they can. For reference, see the 2010 Music City Bowl.

The rule basically says he can't. Once he declares the game over, it's over, period. It seems like it always just us (and Kansas State) that gets screwed by the refs. I just can't believe it's happened twice this year. TWICE!!!

They showed the replay & he had the ball in his hand with 1 second & then spiked it. It makes me wonder how they added a second. Oh I forgot that they just screwed us.

Happened in the game that Texas got extra time on the clock in the championship game. The Ref signaled the end of the game but under review there was a second left on the clock when McCoy threw the ball. The rest is history.

I referenced the rule about covering the ball to allow the defense to substitute. Same as the LSU game.

This quote from the article was pretty telling.

"We had probably seven officials in the room, watching the game, and we're all scratching our heads, saying, 'wait a minute, guys,'" he said.

That's unbelievable. I hope this goes through some kind of review process and these ref's get some kind of penalty or sanction.

Most of the time I get over these losses fairly quickly, but this one still irks me. The officials call the game "over", then they do a review, but only to see if NC had enough time left to run a play. However, the review booth failed to see that there were 12 men participating in that last play, which is a 15 yard penalty, not a 5. I don't believe that they tried to screw us, but they did blow it. They didn't even look at the number of guys on the field, which they did in the LSU game.

And the next time you need to run one more play, just run up there with your center and quarterback and let them snap the ball while the rest of the time is running toward the sideline. You'll get a 5 yard penalty, but you still get one more play. One of the dumbest rules I've ever seen.

I know that if we do certain things, the game is over. But that still doesn't take away from the fact that the officials blew the game at the end. By all accounts, we did "win" the game. So to have it taken from us by the officials is something that we should be upset about.

If Lincoln makes the kick, the game is over. If the officials make the right call, the game is over. I don't understand why its wrong to question what they did.

BTW, if your son or daughter loses a game because of a bad call by an official, be sure to lecture your kids about "priorities" and leave the officials alone.

He goes on to say, "If he makes that extra point, none of this matters. Tennessee wins the game regardless," Goode said. "To put the whole thing in context, sure, the officiating could have had an impact on the game, but the missed field goal definitely had an impact on the game."

That's a good point that many have brought up but the problem is that the game was not decided on the merits of the teams play. Mistakes are made in EVERY football game. No team plays perfectly. For all of the crying about our weak secondary play down the stretch, I can point out a great play by our offense to pick up a 3rd down and in turn, bad play by there defense. That's called the game of football. And you should win or loose based on the play. Not officiating.

Agreed 100% I hate when it comes down to forces other than the two teams to decide the outcome of games. That's not how the game is meant to be played.
