Is skimming the top of the grass enough?

Seriously, how do you define your toe touching the ground? (isn’t grass part of the ground?)

If his foot did skim the grass, I think that’s enough. I don’t think that video evidence was sufficient even to determine that he “skimmed” the grass.

Just watched the 3rd down Pittman catch out of bounds review

Too Zapruder to overturn

And USC got extremely lucky on the long Pittman TD catch.

Easily could have been offensive PI.

Was called for almost the exact thing later in the game.

Maybe not offensive PI - but definitely went out of bounds on his own!!!

I think it might have been a catch. I think it is overturned 2/10.

I think you are correct. It may have been a makeup call.

My thoughts exactly

If you just think then they got it right

9/15/19 5:06pm

It really is that simple. I don't know why this is so hard.

9/15/19 5:21pm

And that’s rules of the game. Every team deals with it...

It doesn't matter if you think. You have to know.

9/15/19 5:20pm

That’s why I wish the refs only had 60 seconds per review

There should be a shot clock on video reviews. If you can’t see in 30 seconds, move on

9/15/19 5:47pm

I think 4 out of 5 times

Not even close to conclusive evidence that his toe touched. Easy "Call stands".

I think the question was control vs. timing of toe touch.

CosmoK

There is no definitive evidence of a toe touch inbounds

Watched it several times. I didn't see anything conclusive.

I don't think his touched the ground. It may hav skimmed the top of some grass, but it never touched down.

Probably. But w/ BYU goggles on it's not down if it only touches the top of the grass.

SpiffCoug

9/15/19 7:19pm

His left foot touched and propelled him out, but before he had control.

ochobeeguy

9/15/19 7:25pm

This is what I think. The left foot was floating not down.

kiyoshige

But you can't tell if he was still gathering the ball.

ochobeeguy

9/15/19 7:23pm

I think that gets overturned 0/10 times if the booth is doing their job.

Mojave

9/15/19 7:35pm

The point about extremely lucky is fair. Could have been called a catch and then indisputable goes the other way.

9/15/19 8:09pm

Exactly.

Refugee

9/15/19 10:28pm

Key word. "Think". Different from "for sure". That's why call stood.
