We have some controversy in the Fiesta Bowl between Ohio State and Clemson.
Late in the third quarter Clemson wide receiver Justyn Ross appeared to make a catch and then had the ball stripped away by Ohio State corner Jeffrey Okudah which led to an OSU touchdown. Refs took a look at the play and ruled that Ross didn’t make a “football move” on the resulting in an incomplete pass.
This was originally called a catch and fumble return TD, but was overturned as an incomplete pass. #CFBPlayoff pic.twitter.com/3RxiGYTvCv

Fans were not happy with the call.
So you can catch, fight for yards, have it ripped out and it is incomplete…ok….. he took MULTIPLE steps

So the NFL doesn't have a monopoly on awful calls and terrible excuse making…3 steps w a football secured is a football move…

What a BS call!! How do you not see that as a catch and fumble?! Very obvious possession and “football” move to me. SMH.#FiestaBowl

“Football move” is a nonsense term, a made-up term, so old former refs can wear a suit and a tie and have a job on TV. https://t.co/JObotNfX2y

This was a catch, a football move, a strip, a fumble, a defensive touchdown, and a bullshit reversal by the refs.pic.twitter.com/PlS35wxf68

Takes four steps. How is that not a football move?
