How was this pass ruled incomplete?

I watched and watched and watched.  I saw it ruled a catch...until it wasn't.  13:05 in the first quarter. How is this ruled not a catch? (Video is timeset to the play in question.)

That one had me calling livid. Felt like the refs were sending signals that UAT had an extra player...

I felt like the fix was in. No kidding. The SEC was gonna get bammer a playoff spot without them winning their division or the SEC Championship. Again.  I am very glad to have been wrong.

I’m still not sure what happened here. From where I was sitting it looked like the official who was right there called it a catch, which begs the question how was the ruling on the field an incompletion? Such bs.

They called it a catch on the field but another ref came in to over rule it incomplete so the review was for an incomplete pass.  They then said there wasn’t indisputable evidence that he caught it.  It was definitely odd to have the original call over turned for no clear reason.

It looked good to me. His foot wasn't out and I knew we weren't getting any calls after this one.

“They” meaning both with the best views.  It looked like the plan was to get it so a standing call was not in our favor.

That one made me fume. The ref in front of the receiver (the best view) ruled it a catch and the ref from the back came in and somehow was allowed to overrule him. The ruling on the field stood, but because of the camera work, it would have stood had the ruling stayed the way it was originally called as a catch.

We thought it was a catch too, but after watching the replays on the Jumbotron, it looked like his left elbow hit the ground out of bounds simultaneously with the catch. 

If that was the case, the ref would have said “the ruling on the field is confirmed”.

Pausing the video at 0:50, when he cradles the ball, his foot is out of bounds. That's assuming these videos are properly synced. It was weird to have two refs get overruled tho. Not sure what that was about.

That is what I thought I saw too when I kept replaying it.   The front official was paying attention to the catch and he did catch it.  However the back official saw that he was out of bounds as he controlled the catch.  Therefore they called it incomplete and the review let the call stand cause the video was not overly conclusive which is what they need to overturn it.

if there were to be any complaint about the refs it is how they completely blew the end of the first half, but that worked out in our favor so it is ok to make that screw up.

I get what you saying about blowing the first half, but that is not the first time I’ve seen something like that with the clock and replay. Overall, that crew called a fair game, and it was nice to see for a change!!

I agree about calling a fair game.  They really let them play out there.

Wrong. His right knee was immediately down when he caught it. His left foot touched out of bounds a half second later.

We will agree to disagree. 

Honestly, I thought his left foot touched the sideline before he gained possession. Not gonna homer it .

I couldn’t tell where the other ref (one that called incomplete) was positioned, I wish they would clarify what made it incomplete during the replay call. If a play is that close they should have never changed the call on the field and just replay it. 

That was the beginning of the reason I can’t talk today.

A freeze frame still photo is not evidence. Thusly, it's called video replay. I didn't have an issue with the ruling.

If the refs would’ve kept that as a catch on the field then they wouldn’t have overturned it with review because there wasn’t enough evidence to do so.

I didn't have an issue with the ruling either. Just showing freeze frame evidence that the left foot did not touch out of bounds prior to the right knee (and left knee) down in bounds. In the 3rd image I posted, that is CBS' synced slow mo.

I get that, but possession requires a minimum amount of time and can't be proven in a still frame. Shed was on his left knee when the ball arrived, so that still frame could be just at the moment the ball was cradled. Live replay, it looked to me like his left foot was on the white by the time possession had taken place.

 

Hell of an effort nonetheless..
