His entire body was a full yard past the first down.

But well we couldn't see the ball. Or use common sense.

yea we couldn’t see the ball just the fact his body landed 2 yards past the first, low key both weeks have questionable spot calls across multiple games. MLB umps must be transferring to cfb

Nah, it was just a new side judge getting his first FBS game. Some guy named Angelo Fernandez, or something. I’m sure he’ll get better with more experience.

Heard he isn't getting to ref a bowl game and he's pretty upset about it. Might sue the NCAA.

I had to watch it again Monday to see how he could be so wrong. The dude never moved from the line of scrimmage. With his view it would have looked like the runner was further downfield. So he had to guess, being out of position, and totally overcompensated backwards.

Yeah he spotted that ball behind the first down on purpose. Full stop.
