I posted this comment on YouTube video:
2024 NCAA Football Rules, Rule 10, Article 1, Section c: says "c. When a foul is committed, the penalty shall be completed before the ball is declared ready for play for any ensuing down". Video clearly shows the ball placed on the yard line of the spot of the foul. I don't have access to video of the officials spotting the ball, but checking times shows that the tackling of the intercepting DB stops the clock at 3:00 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Later in the broadcast ( during the throwing of the bottles), the clock is down to 2:40, and then is at 2:48 when Texas has 1st and Goal at the 9 yard line. This indicates that the clock was started which would not happen unless the ball was declared ready for play following the penalty spot. Thus, according to the rule above, the penalty was completed, and cannot be changed. Bad call or not, that is the rule. Though I couldn't find it in the rules (yet), I am sure that the throwing of objects on the field can carry either a "delay of game" or "unsportsmanlike conduct" penalty. Though not in the rules, the only fair thing to both teams would have been to replay the previous down, after assessing either a 5 yard delay of game or a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. And, like Kirk Herbstreit, if the PI "didn't happen" then I want to know why the official threw the flag in the first place. And, the "discussion" among the officials should have happened BEFORE the penalty was announced on the PA system. Actual events indicate that the penalty was completed, and therefore could not be removed. And in case you didn't figure it out, I am a UGA fan.
Notice that the rule does NOT refer to the next snap, but , rather "before the ball is declared ready for play for any ensuing down". The penalty was assessed, the ball was placed, and the game clock was started as the drinks started. Check the video of the time when the objects were being littered onto the field. Notice the timeline in my post.
yes a call can be changed anytime before the next play and there’s no time limit blah blah blah BUT no one went to the calling official and said I saw this ….THE CALL WAS ANNOUNCED. Then, the delay (caused by trash throwing trash) allowed the refs to see the replay and changed their minds. Please don’t try to change the truth. We are not ****. Enough BS. Let’s man up and tell the truth.
This is BS. The review had already been announced and the ball placed for play when all the spoiled UT snowflakes started throwing their bottles onto the field. The chief official is Texas through and through and his son is a UT graduate. Why did the SEC allow this guy who turned out to be really biased to referee the UT-UGA game? It seems that eveyone including the SEC and ESPN had already decided that UT would win the game and take Georgia's place as the nation's premier team. Thankfully, we have the best coach in college football and he didn't allow it. Everything he said was true; he was courageous to be so candid and forthright. My fear now is that UGA will be "punished" the rest of the year by the officiating teams. I do not trust them at. all these days…
Please fix this website. Posting comments is atrocious…
Steve Shaw should be a politician, because that was about the most idiotic non-answer I think I've ever read. And to go out of his way to say he wasn't speaking specifically about the call we're all concerned about — well, politician.
In other words, Kirby Smart nailed it when he said they just set a new precedent for fans to follow. Throw things, delay game, get call overturned, can't be penalized.
Shaw….just another bureaucratic answer which is a nice way of saying a Kamala Harris Word Salad Parody
Mumbo…..Jumbo!

Your comment is DawgNation HOF if I've ever seen one!
Lol....hell, I agree. It's more "investigative reporting" than we've seen from any of the Media giants. Guess they're too busy scanning Twitter for a majority opinion.
It's simple....if your team is out of timeouts, when a critical call, is blown...and, you are home team,....It's Fan'trum time. Give the officials time to come up with an out....by allowing everybody, to watch the blown call over and over on the Jumbo-tron and smartphones.
Somehow, knowing the call was blown, should make it easier for Fans to digest. Right!? BS....Lol.
It doesn't help to have every Booth announcer and expert, acting like the play was under review....rather than reporting that coaches, players, cheerleaders & sideline personnel were under attack by a barrage of debris "coming from the student section". That seemed to be a secondary consideration. FAILURE.
They think THAT justifies changing the call. And, that is the true FAILURE, cause it ensures it will happen again. Maybe worse, next time.
Who answers for that failure to act, when somebody loses a life or winds up in a Coma? Who cares? I haven't heard much from the people that should care the most. Why Not?
Texas got killed and the score did not accurately reflect what happened that night ....cheating bs ...fu tx...we will beat you 3 times
To beat a cheat....you have to annihilate them...not, just beat em.
You have to make the victory so obvious & complete...that it would be impossible to win, with a few blown calls or a blind eye being turned to the opposition's effort to cheat...or adding/subtracting yards on virtually, every spot.
You can see these shenanigans going on, all the top weekly games...if you know what to look for.
And, let me just state....the cheating was far more obvious with the Texas Game, than it was with the OSU game, in the Orange Bowl?, in '22.
Kirby put the world on notice, in 2021....Ya can't get away with it, anymore...not with the Georgia Bulldogs. They ARE much better than most people are aware.
BS. The penalty was marked off. Ball was put down. Players were lined up, then came the bottles..Before the bottles,NO refs were getting together to talk about play.
