I thought it was supposed to be a statute of liberty play, only nobody came around to take the ball from MC. Clearly should've been a TD for the good guys.

It was either that or Corral was the only guy on the field that thought the play was blown dead. Either way... how can they rule forward progress was stopped when the guy with the ball loses awareness and isn't even trying to advance the ball? Plus the official standing right next to the QB immediately turned and ran with our guy when he scooped and scored.

Including the spot on the play that triggered the stuff being thrown on the field. The play was short by about half the length of the football (based on the location of the yellow line to make), but the refs spotted the ball about a yard short.

The yellow line was about half a football short.

How was the stripped ball not a TD. It looked like a botched play, trick play or very least qb sack w/ fumble. Refs said forward progress. Dude didnt even run but looked lost & lost ball for TD.
very confused

In Heupels press conference he said the refs told him it was an unreviewable play. It was a pure BS call. Even Jordan Rodgers said it was.

Nope. The explanation was that forward progress was stopped and that there was no fumble. That ruling made the play unreviewable.

Makes no since. How can they call that when he was standing there with the football hidden . I bet if he would have took off running and got a touchdown it would have been called a great trick play.

Corral was using that same "technique" all night. He'd keep the ball low and stand there like he didn't have it on play action to throw off defenders, and then suddenly raise and fire it. Likewise he would often continue plays even using a throwing motion when he didn't have the ball.

The one friggin' time we made him pay using that that deception, they call it back. That hosing by the SEC refs rivals that of the Gaffney debacle at Neyland, a horrible call which changed the outcome of the game. The zebras took the game out of the hands of the players all night.

It was a fake hand off and the refs were faked by it, too. Corrall had the ball on his hip and was about to run and the forward motion stopped was the RB who didn’t even even have the ball. Whistle blown mid play when a person who the refs thought had the ball was stopped. Corrall heard the whistle and stopped because he thought the play was blown dead. That’s how incompetent the refs were in this game and should never be allowed near a field again. That’s my take on it.

Terrible call. If a QB is called down anytime his forward progress is stopped Corral wouldn't have got nearly so many yards. Terrible call.

I'm still not clear whether the whistle was blown because of forward progress or if it was an inadvertent whistle because somebody thought the dive back had the ball and was stopped.

They acted like they weren’t going to give us that safety call either.

They wanted to put him on the 1 yard line. The back judge came in and was pointing at the goal line. I don't know what he was looking at. He was 2 yards in the endzone..

It just seems like a ref shouldn’t be able to retroactively call a play dead. Blow a whistle or the play is not dead, just like you do on the 160 plays of the game. Terrible call.

Clemson ran a gimmick play Friday night where they snapped the ball and none of the offensive lineman moved. Just stayed in their stance for the play. Their refs weren’t so stupid, ours were.

That's just stupid.

Did the refs commit clear holding penalties on back to back 4th quarter possessions to kill any momentum?

Did the refs fumble a punt and give Ole Miss the ball at the goal line after the defense basically stopped them twice?

Did the refs drop multiple passes that should have been big plays? Or overthrow receievers that didn't have a defender within 10 yards? Or practice the vaunted Ole! pass blocking technique letting OM get pressure with 3 (three!!) rushers vs 5 linemen blocking? Or let Matt Corral run QB draw for about a trillion yards?

No, of course not. We do not have the talent or depth to shoot ourselves in the foot repeatedly and beat a decent/good team. We had a ton of chances to win and could not finish... not for lack of effort.

Those refs sucked tonight but being incompetent does not make you a cheat.

Depth should not be a issue with ole miss. That is bama or uga. People been riding the depth coat tail for 15 years now. I'm sick of hearing depth. If depth is the issue than UT sucks at handing out scholarships. I guarantee that if you put half of these kids on another team they are all Americans. Proof is Bailey. In my opinion if you put Bailey in another school that has winning ways, he would be front runner for Heisman. UT does self inflicted wounds, but it's not because of depth. The play calling last night, mostly in 1st half when Milton got sacked 5 times, is what lost this one. When you know half your line is out, why not move the pocket? That's what happened the 2nd half. Quit using depth as an excuse. It's not a depth issue, maybe a talent issue but not depth
