On the replay they showed in the stadium it looked like it may have bounced, although there may have been a component of wishful thinking involved.
On the SUNSPORTS replay this morning it looked like a good call to me. --- On Sun, 9/20/09, Jerry Belloit <[email protected]> wrote: Woody, I don’t think so. It did not look like his hand was under the ball during the catch. I looked like he trapped the ball to me. The official was not in a position to see that and the camera angle was not conclusive, although to me somewhat persuasive. Jerry yes.. he had his hand/arm around it pretty good.. unfortunately... i think that was a good call by the Refs On Sun, Sep 20, 2009 at 1:35 PM, jfranl <[email protected]> wrote: Speaking of interceptions, I was at the game and when they did a replay of the Tenn interception, it looked like it skipped on the ground. For someone watching on TV, did they replay it from a lot of angles and did it skip on the ground?

But what’s strange to me is reading all of these articles talking about Black “ending the Vols’ comeback bid” with his interception like we were about to be beaten if he hadn’t caught it. I know they want to make it sound exciting but it was 4th down with just a few seconds left with us holding a two-possession lead. The game wasn’t in danger and the interception didn’t save us from anything. If anything, it was a bit bone-headed. I trust the coaches, at least, will ask Black to be more aware of the larger game going on around him in the future and to not intercept downfield passes on 4th down. At another point in the game, it could have made a difference.

Black's INT cost us about 25 yards of feld position - that thankfully, we didn't need. --- On Sat, 9/19/09, Gatornet Admin <[email protected]> wrote: From: Gatornet Admin <[email protected]> Subject: [gatortalk] Last Interception To: "GatorTalk" <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, September 19, 2009, 7:20 PM I saw something completely odd happen that not one of the announcers caught. When we intercepted Crompton at the end of the game, they were lined up on their 49 yard line with 4th & 6. We intercepted him on our 25 yard line. I'm thinking we should've just batted it down instead of catching it, but I realize in the heat of the moment, you don't think clearly. I just thought it was odd that the announcers didn't mention that.
