[QUOTE="str8shooter, post: 78441, member: 1759"] The rule is pretty plain. It says that based on the call on the field, there must be "indisputable" evidence to reverse it. As you look at the play when it happened, two officials immediately blew the ball dead and called it an incomplete pass. The replay official reversed the ruling by saying that the ball was released on the 27 yard line and touched by GT on the 27 yard line, making it a lateral. The ruling on the field takes precedence here and the indisputable evidence must be there. So what if the ball was an inch or two, or even a half inch forward of the QB when touched? That would make it a forward pass. Frankly the ruling on the field should have remained, since this one was much too close to call. As many have said, the video evidence was not clear enough to make that exact judgment. GT fans don't want to hear this, since the play went in their favor. What would they think if the roles were reversed? The word "indisputable" has meaning, and I'm not sure that it was properly used in this instance. It's over and done, but GT got the benefit of the doubt on this one. [/QUOTE]
