No, there wasn't. I didn't see one replay where the ball was loose before he rolled.
If the tip of the ball hits the ground and then the ball moves, it's incomplete. And that's what the replay showed.

Then the b1g is doing it incorrectly. The ball hit the ground, it then moved in his arms. It was the correct call, get over it.
Baloney. In this case, the B1G is actually doing it exactly right. The reason for replay is to make sure the onfield officials don't miss anything. It's not to watch replays from six different angles for twenty minutes to see in one view that the ball moved an inch or two.
The default position needs to be go with the call on the field, unless there's OBVIOUS evidence in a replay that they got it wrong on the field. OBVIOUS as in, you see it right away. If it takes you a minute or more of watching video to change the call, THEN you're doing it wrong.
In this particular case, it looks like there was one angle where the ball could be seen as touching the ground as Ryen rolled over. Eh, okay. Opinions can vary on whether that's "obvious," but I guess I can see that. Care to defend the touchdown call in Stillwater last year? The non-fumble with Texas a couple of years ago? You see where the Big XII replay officials have exactly zero legs to stand on here?
If the ball touches the ground they are going to rule it incomplete. There was movement of the ball too. The ball was dislodged by the ground and trapped. Incomplete pass.
/End thread.
I gotta hit you again on this. If the replay official sees the video and says, "I can't tell either way," then the call on the field STANDS. How exactly is that "doing it incorrectly"?
Big XII replay officials have made themselves a reputation of sticking themselves into games and trying feverishly to find something, anything, any speck of anything via CSI-zoom-enhance techniques to change calls on the field. It's not supposed to work like that.
That's sorta why they have replay.It's ridiculous because the sideline judge was about 5 yards away. Saw zero proof of the ball coming out and there's a 15 foot tall video board right behind me.
They ended up getting this call right, which should put our minds at ease. That said, they have botched a lot of calls in the past.
"Should put our minds at ease." You serious, Clark?
Still waiting for your reasoning on the game at Stillwater last year. Or the George fumble recovery against Texas. Or the Tech back-of-the-end-zone TD this year. Must be some heck of video angles for those Big XII replay officials, huh?
If the tip of the ball hits the ground and then the ball moves, it's incomplete. And that's what the replay showed.
Who said I agreed with any of those calls?? I said they got THIS call correct. Are you 12?
No, I'm an adult who can recognize the difference between what's obvious and what has to be looked at with a magnifying glass. And who has been suffering through this kind of crap for years.
How about that call standing on the terrible spot in the third quarter? If you use the same reasoning they used on Ryen's play, that needs to be changed.
