Why is it wrong if the officials got it right. The moronic official that was there MISSED the kid running out of bounds and that is inexcusible...he was RIGHT there...what was he looking at as they ran down field???. Frankly the officials were TERRIBLE today...moreso than in the past. How did they not get the punt call correct? I got it from the moment it happened and I didn't even have the best angle (From TV). Also, a kid can't just catch the ball at the one and run into the endzone. You must show CONTROL and ESTABLISH CONTROL while IN BOUNDS. That never happened regardless of whether or not his feet would have been IN BOUNDS. If his momentum carried him into the endzone regardless of where his feet where, it should be called a touchback. TERRIBLE OFFICIATING TODAY! Ole Miss was also holding on almost every pass play and I think it was called twice.
I had no doubt they would be ticked about it for years to come.
Looked like he steped out to me, but I always tend to look at the defensive side of the play. Mitchell was in position and made a great play. I don't why he didn't just knock the ball down though since it was 4th down.

I'm an old official and have not called a game since 1999 but I believe the Ole Miss player can come back in but can not be the first player to touch the ball. They did not show enough of the catch to determine who touched it first. We don't know what the actual ruling was and never will.
Our first drive...there was pass interference on the 5 which may have cost us a TD. There were calls on both sides that made you go hmmmm.

Well, Ole Myth fans can complain all they want but they can't say it was home cooked calls because we were playing at their place. Crap happens and Bama has been on the receving end of it for a long time now. It's time for someone else to get screwed. Might not be right but we've had our fair share for quite some time now. ROLL TIDE!!!
This game was replayed on DirecTV at 10:30 last night. I DVR'd it and looked at the end after I read this article. The OM receiver clearly went out of bounds on his own. He was a step behind the defender. It was not a force. As the ball gets there, the OM receiver comes back inside the defender, throws his hand in front of the defender and touches the ball first. We catch it but it clearly touches the receiver first. I'm sure the replay booth had better angles than I did and can get a close up of the ball. We can thank the receiver for throwing his hand up there. The correct call was made according to the rules.
SOUR GRAPES- What a goob. Well I said this yesterday- it seemed to me unclear that the rec for Ole Myth even had clear possession anyway, from the angles on TV is was hard to tell, but the refs ruled it a 'catch'. The receiver clearly did run out of bounds on his own. I think he just forgot where he was on the field. LM was turned around looking for the ball, otherwise I think they would have called forcing out. Something in the replay must have shown the rec touched the ball first, doesn't mean he had to have caught it then, he was probably trying to prevent LM from intercepting it.
Alanbama was right, the officiating was terrible today, with two calls being reversed, both in Alabamas favor, but they were CORRECTED CALLS, and anyone (OLE MISS) who can't admit that is a sore loser. The GC fumble should have been reviewed and wasn't. Not Bama's fault- The Ogre could have forced a review if he wanted to. Coaches are allowed one per game. Coach Saban did it when it was needed and thankfully the bad call was overturned.
As for Hardy, yes he did play well enough to win, and Ole Myths offense played pretty well, but so did Bama. Our offense played pretty darn good today as did Javier Arenas and others. They lost because Bama scored a few more points than Ole Myth. The refs were all but giving them the game. Duh!

I don't understand why I keep reading that it could not be determined who touched the ball first. I recorded the game as a Windows recorded TV file and currently have the replay paused in another window with the ball inches away from the Ole Miss Receivers hands which are clearly in front of Mitchell's hands. If I knew how I'd convert the frames to pictures and post them. Another board I was reading had several opposing fans stating over and over that either Mitchell touched the ball first or it was inconclusive and therefore should have stood as called on the field. If you watch it frame by frame it is conclusive the Ole Miss receiver chose to run a yard or so out of bounds to get around the Alabama defender with position on the sideline, was behind the Alabama defender (Mitchell) when the ball was in flight, reached over Mitchell's shoulder with both arms stretched out in front of Mitchell's hands, and conclusively was the first to make contact with the ball.
All in all, it was just a last minute, high risk play that didn't work for Ole Myth. LM played it correctly (other than intercepting it completely) and their rec did not. JMHO.
That's the Mississippi Mentality at work. Having lived there for 5 years, I can tell you that it really doesn't matter what the evidence shows. Ole Miss fans will claim that they were cheated, even if video evidence clearly shows the the OM player went out on his own, came back in, and touched the ball first.
Arguing with them is like mud wrestling a pig.

Even if it wasn't illegal touching, the OM WR clearly should have been called for offensive pass interference. He came over the back and hit LM while the ball was in the air. He had to do this because LM had the inside position to catch the ball. Both the video and still frames show this conclusively. There is way the Ref should have missed this.
Wah wah wah!!! The right call was EVENTUALLY made no matter what OM fans want to say. We're just lucky we didn't get screwed because the officials on the field were seemingly trying to.
Yeah- I was just over lurking on the Ole Myth boards and boy are they delusional. What a bunch of whiners about the refs and Bama. They forget conveniently about the spotting of the ball at the 1 foot line on what should have been a touchback. That also HAD TO BE REVIEWED and was overturned because it was wrong too. The player never set his feet outside the goal line and his foot was clearly touching the line. As for the last play,
that play had so many DISPUTABLE parts to it its not even funny; I haven't watched a close-up of it yet, only what I saw yesterday but just what I noticed were:
-The receiver and LM went out of bounds of their own accord-no forcing
-Argument could be made the rec interfered with LM's interception
which is where I think the illegal touching happened PRIOR to the 'catch'
-Rec never established himself in the field of play
-Rec never had clear possession and neither did LM
To me the worst call of the day was when they tried to down the ball on the one foot line when the Ole Miss player caught the ball and ran into the endzone during a punt. I've never seen such an idiotic call. I told my wife duing the commercial that I bet Coach Saban was having a come-a-part. Sure enough, when the commercial was over, Eli said he was.
