Arrow — The ball was in Peterson’s possession, so it does not matter if Julio touched it. His hands were outside of Peterson’s, and Peterson did not juggle the ball.

BEN—- Your team was better? At which aspect of the game? Oh waith I know, you were able to pin us inside the 5 yrd line with your punting team. But every EVERY every other aspect of the game was clearly won by the TIDE and the most important one THE SCORE 24-15 get over it already…..
AL 200 + yds on the ground LSU 95
AL 200 + yds throught the air LSU 114
Defensive AL 3 sacks 8 tackles for losses and 9 hurries on the QB and LSU is the better team?

LSU was not conditioned well and they were clearly not ready for a game of this magnitude…

Know the rules Julio Touch the ball and the DB and the ball is out of bounds. Does anyone who writes or calls games not have the intelligence to know the rules. If both players touch the ball and one is out of bounds then they both are out of bounds. Got it.

This is all fine and dandy except that the interception doesn’t count if Julio touches the ball while out of bounds at the same time. Which he does and so the play is dead. End of story. I maybe a homer, but watch the replay and see that what I say is true. Julio is out of bounds. Have a good day and lets move on.

Possession of the football is certainly not considered possession while the player is pulling the ball in toward his body to gain control of the football during a catch or interception. If a player is in the process of getting control of the football during a catch or an interception and runs out of bounds before having control of the football,then whether he had his feet touching the field of play is irrelevant, it is ruled an incomplete pass.

LSU was robbed the SEC officials put something in the tigers gatorade, I tells ya!!!!!

I’m hopping mad!!! Even though we roughed the kicker that later set up the interception call, I blame the bad replay call itself for our loss. There was no causality between the roughing the kicker and Alabama still having possession of the ball, none at all,it was all the questionable interception call.

1. Shoddy clock management by Les Miles = Bad Patrick Peterson interception call

2. Mark Ingrams rush for 18 yards to the LSU 23 = Bad Patrick Peterson interception call

3. Darius Hanks 21 yard catch for a touchdown =Bad Patrick Peterson interception call

4. Jordan Jefferson being sacked by Nico Johnson for a 15 yard loss and intentionally grounding the ball= Bad Patrick Peterson interception call

5. Mark Ingrams rush for 23 yards to the LSU 30 = Bad Patrick Peterson interception call

6. Julio Jones run for 73 yard touchdown = Bad Patrick Peterson interception call

7. Jarrett Lee sacked by Marcell Dareus for a loss of 8 yards = Bad Patrick Peterson interception call

8. LSU penalty for roughing the Alabama kicker = Bad Patrick Peterson interception call

9. Jarrett Lee sacked again by Marcell Dareus for a loss of 4 yards= Bad Patrick Peterson interception call

10. Jarrett Lee pass intercepted by Robby Green=Bad Patrick Peterson interception call

Possession also means some degree of control of the football, not just some ambiguous contact with the football. If the LSU player never had any real control of the football inbounds he never had possession of it. Appears to me that he never had any control of the football until he was out of bounds.
