He trapped the ball. Refs should've reviewed the play! ****!

No targeting? No review.

Looked like it hit the ground on the replay...
Crew didn't even think about reviewing it.

Can Anyone post a clip?

Officially, all scoring plays are reviewed.

This one CLEARLY wasn't!!

The refs never review anything against Bama.

So we not have a designated person who just watches on TV and alerts the coaches to raise feel when something should be reviewed? That TD, the TUA first down, etc...

You would think with all the ****ing money we have we can afford it

It was good. Take your maroon colored glasses off and you can see it better.

BOOM. Thanks to Third for posting this on Premium.

Clearly a dropped/trapped ball. It's terrible that the TD was not reviewed. It likely wouldn't have changed the final outcome of the game but it wouldn't have given so much momentum to Bama and put us immediately into catch up mode.

What's amazing to me is that during and after the game, I never found where any media acknowledged it was an error by the refs and review team. And that's terrible for the college game.

Eh I don't think there is convincing evidence on that view, they would likely go with whatever was called on the field.

He has control before he hits the ground and no obvious loss of control after he hits the ground. Play stands.

Yep! It's clear the ball left his grasp just before impact with the ground, after which he regained control as he bounced and smothered it with his body. Yet one more example of the lack of integrity in NCAA sports. The "Joneses" almost always "get the call"!


Edit for spelling

Pretty sure all scoring plays are reviewed. DId look like it should have gotten a little more attention than it did but how about our DB's be within 3 yds of the receiver for a better shot to break up the pass. Problem is our DB's just aren't fast enough to cover their top receivers and Tua has a strong enough and accurate enough arm to take advantage of it.

given all our great technology, we evidently can't produce enough video footage to overturn a close call.

we should just do away with instant replay until the technology catches up

Reviews are done in the SEC offices located in ........ Birmingham. No way they would take that away from Bama.

100% Drop

Should of at a minimum BEEN REVIEWED as a SCORING PLAY.

There's nothing obvious about that video.

Maybe there's a simpler explanation as to why NO ONE talked about this. Maybe instead of there being a vast conspiracy, the media included, to prop up Alabama...

Maybe it was a catch.

Why do you care?

We lost by 3 touchdowns.

No one has claimed a conspiracy of ANY kind. Why the red herring?

Just because YOU cannot see the ball drop does not mean others of us can't. It's clear as day to me, although it's a very brief moment (milli-second) just before impact with the ground that the ball is seen to be moving rearward, and out of his grasp. The ground allowed him to regain control with his RIGHT hand after impact as he rolled over. All of that is clearly visible in the slow-mo footage.

Blown call, not surprising.

People are suggesting that if it wasn't Alabama then it would have been overturned...that's a conspiracy isn't?

I mean...several people in this thread alone have suggested a conspiracy by the media and the refs to support Bama and keep poor A&M down. And people suggest these types of things in pretty much every thread like this.

Do not conflate human nature (the tendency to give a prohibitive favorite an advantage or benefit of any doubt- the Michael Jordan effect) with some kind of conspiracy. It's also the "homer" effect. It absolutely occurs, but it's not a conspiracy! It's simply human nature. But, it should be recognized, and called out when it occurs.

But, regardless of the motive/cause, get the call right!

It can be argued that the refs actually care about us. See, the sooner the game got out of reach, the sooner they pull Tua from the game.

Did you really want that dude playing in the 4th quarter?

I know your;e joking but yes. If he was still playing in the 4th quarter it means the game is within reach.

I believe the outdoor board says they're magazines

If ALL the calls in that game were corrected, we won! Maybe.

Imagine he is wearing maroon, then you will see it was good, unfortunately

Think on the potential positive: As the team improves and is built into the new system it will require more and more bad calls and 'bama no looks to out score A&M.

Still on track for a good possible 8+ win season now that the majority of the nasty is over for a while.

I think you jumped the gun. I was thinking the same thing as you but that clip "ags win" posed shows that he traped it. I don't think it's a bama conspiracy or anything but it looks like it was a missed call.

Also caring about Aggie football is literally the purpose of Texags. Well that and therapy for people who can't stop thinking about Sumlin, Manziel, the B12 and Kyler Murray.

This is actually one of the more interesting topics from today because I completely missed this when I watched the game live.
