LSU fans thought they were robbed when the instant replay official determined that Barion Brown did not score a touchdown in the third quarter of Saturday night’s game. The official on the field, ruled it was a catch and Brown was out of bounds at the one-yard line. The instant replay looked like it was a touchdown, but the instant replay judge determined Brown did not possess the ball through the entire process of the catch. Coach Brian Kelly says the officials got the call right, but the rule should be changed…
Cut 17 (21) “…that play”
Kelly also announced that receiver Destyn Hill suffered a fracture hand and will miss this Saturday night’s home opener against Louisiana Tech.
