Runner fumbles the ball, recovers it, crosses endzone with control throughout the ground and it's called a touchback. Absolute insanity.

I think the tall guy, he needs thrown out of officiating.that crew needs suspended after that one
That is Hochuli's crew, and he's responsible for them.
It's not like he fumbled it on the ground. He just temporarily juggled it then regained full control before hitting the pylon.Runner fumbles the ball, recovers it, crosses endzone with control throughout the ground and it's called a touchback. Absolute insanity.
I was at the 2014 PSU/O$U game and it was the first game I ever saw where I thought game fixing might be present. This is the second. That was so egregious either the referees should be fired for absolute incompetence OR absolute corruption.
Fouts not ok with it. Just called it one of the worst calls he's ever seen.One of the worst calls I've even seen, and the announcing crew seemed ok with it. This is like psu 2004-2009 replay officiating stuff, the irrefutable evidence thing, means "eh, maybe."
Edit: Fouts (?) said it was the worst call he had ever seen, at the end of the game.
the overturn call comes from the league office and the head of officiating. Not those on the field.
The people doing league review are referees. The point stands. And it would most likely be easier for a gambler to influence them than a whole on-field crew.

Too many tv talking heads not understanding the rules. He caught the ball and just before crossing the goal line the ball was stripped. he lost control of the ball. when he recovers his own fumble he STILL NEEDS to establish control of the ball IN BOUNDS. He didn't. He regained the control in mid-air and landed OOB across the goal line. Touch back.
i never said that he didn't have control when he hit the pylon. what i said was that he didn't have control of the ball AND establish himself in bounds. Again, its the same as if he was catching a pass. Yes. he caught the ball and crossed the goal line, but he made the catch IN THE AIR and didn't touch the ground in play.
Show me a picture or video of any part of the Jet touching the ground IN PLAY after he regained control. None of the replays that i saw showed him touching the ground anywhere other than when he landed out of bounds.
They need a seeing eye dog!Retired referees. Not good enough to cut it on the field anymore, so they put them in charge of the most critical plays in every game every weekend.
They blow!i did see it. he never touched the ground in bounds after he reestablished control. I'll try this one more time:
Everyone agrees that the Jet caught the pass and then lost control of the ball. The only dispute is the recovery. If there is no indisputable video evidence of the Jet touching the ground IN BOUNDS after recovering his own fumble then the refs were forced to call it a touch back. You are asking the refs for Indisputable Video Evidence of the WRONG thing. They weren't reviewing a touchdown. They were reviewing a fumble recovery.
HA!I have tried watching this game. I don't know whether it's the two teams playing or just my preference for college ball but now I am binge watching Big Bang Theory.
But it was ruled a TD. Has to be the replay official who is crazy!I think the tall guy, he needs thrown out of officiating.
