That's what I was thinking..."how can you "BLOCK" a guy and he falls toward your "BLOCK"???

I was also screaming at the tv that that was a hold. Ridiculous.

There was one holding call called in the entire game and it was called on Tyler Marcordes. Ugag ran 67 offensive plays in the game.

What's funny about that is that on one of the dwag rant sites, one of the Walmart employees (uga fan) asked how GT could play an entire game and not have a single holding call against them, because all teams hold on almost every play. It must have been those biased refs that were trying to give the game to Tech.

My own thoughts:
1) There's no way the replay booth was going to overturn the fumble on the goal line. The problem was that the officials on the field didn't blow the whistle to stop the clock. I supposed it's possible for a replay official to study the frames and determine if all forward progress is stopped but I don't know if he would even have the authority to overturn the call based on that. The fault in this case goes to the refs on the field.
2) Justin's play was a fumble....plain and simple. I don't like that it happened but it did. Watch how far his arm goes past where his normal release point was. He pump fakes and tries to pull the ball down. By the time the ball comes out of his hand, it's down near his leg...and no one throws a pass from down there; not even Tim Tebow with his awful throwing motion. If I had been refereeing the game, I would have ruled it a fumble as well, despite the fact that it nearly snatched my heart out of my throat, threw it on the ground and stomped it flat.

+1. Everyone gripes about the refs. apparently, few gripe about them after a win as much as we do. to be honest, though I rarely ever read other boards unless someone has a link. the few instances of laughter are not worth wading through a ton of B.S.

The whistle on forward progress is one of those judgement calls and it is up to the on-the-field refs to make it live. Not reviewable.
It is just like a PI penalty; even with zero contact, the penalty can't be reviewed and hence can't be overturned.

I hadn't noticed the hold there until you pointed it out. Good eye!

Just to be clear, I was pointing out the irony that the dwag fan was complaining about GT not getting called for holding because almost every team holds every play, but uga didn't get called for holding once either.
As a matter of fact, I seem to recall CPJ making the comment earlier this year that during a 3 game stretch against 3 teams that threw a lot (including Duke) that holding was not called once against the other team, and that was with 60+ passes being thrown in those games.

PI is reviewable to verify if the pass was touched upfield of the PI. But, the PI itself is not reviewed.
