Replay on video board clearly showed his heel on the white line. Not even close.How did they rule the Clemson kid stayed in bounds? Sorry if already answered.
That call wasn’t wrong. If you are outside of the numbers, you are considered off the field of play.And they screwed up on the too many players on the field review. The guy was still on the field and the snap was in the air. Why use video replay when these calls are still wrong?
Soo obvious. Yet, the coaching staff didn’t seem argue it much.Yep. The chalk was removed where his heal hit. I don’t know how that could have been missed.

Let me see itMy son just showed me a still photo and his heel never came down on the chalk.
Let me see it
Yup. It’s just one pic. Let’s see all of his steps. One of them came down OBActually the more I look at it, while his foot is not on the line, it still may have come down on the line in the next frame, which I do not have.

Still photo wouldn’t work since your ankle hinges.My son just showed me a still photo and his heel never came down on the chalk.
Still if you make the tackle low instead of high it never happens.
More importantly, DeVito will learn to recognize when a player from the opposing defense is slow to get off the field, and call for the snap. It happened twice last night in crucial situations when we could have really used the illegal subsitution penalty.That’s not true. Your thinking of the substitution rule.
Not enough to overturn.
If the ref called that he was OB originally, he would have stayed OB.
Unfortunately the burden of proof is the other way around given the initial ruling.so how can you tell the bottom of his black cleats arent touching the line from that photo?
the read low view showed the turf moving i thought in the one fast look we got.
Yeah, and Mcdonough pointed out the line was painted squiggly. Had it been straight he may have been out.Not enough to overturn.

The line wasn't straight before his foot came down.The way I saw it - his heel came down and somewhat slid to the side - causing that “gap” in the white sideline chalk.
(That Herbie & Sean commented about)
It basically pushed the chalk away, clearing the green underneath.
Which is why it shouldn’t have been so surprising that it just happened to be the exact shape of the outline of the heel of his shoe afterwards.
To my mind, his shoe pushing the chalk aside would have been sufficient ‘proof’ that his foot was down out of bounds, and the play called dead at that spot.
But it probably would have just delayed the inevitable, so does it even really matter?
