According to a report by CBS, both national coordinator of officials Rogers Redding and Big Ten supervisor of officials Bill Carollo believe the wrong decision was made when the SEC crew officiating the game said after a replay review that Ross didn’t catch the ball.

6. The onfield ruling is a catch fumble
7. The fundamental principle of replay is the ruling on the field is correct unless there is indisputable video evidence to reverse.

Thus, regardless of the ruling on the field on this play, replay should have let that ruling stand.

3. The receiver loses control as his 4th step comes down
4. In real time the player loses the ball quickly
5. The NCAA catch rule is quite subjective

This is a great angle. There is absolutely no way replay should have reversed. Indisputable video evidence is simply not there. https://t.co/q77FD1IYJ7

Final thoughts on Officials...Replay official was awful

1) Needed to CONFIRM all elements of targeting...if there is any question he is supposed to leave player in game
2) Call on field was catch and fumble...video was not indisputable and yet still overturned

overreach on both
