The correct call was made. Did you even hear the announcers ask the official in the booth and on the air?
The fair catch signal was clearly made. The ND player was clearly within one yard of the receiver. The rest is moot.
The only questionable call was the catch for first down.
And Gholson MAY HAVE gotten it picked. Or ND MAY HAVE scored a FG. Hell, maybe ND does score a TD.
Would that made the game very different? No. Stop kidding yourself.
Gholson is not Johnny Football. He's not Aaron Murray, or Mettenberg, or Bray, or Tyler Wilson, or Deynard Robinson, or AJ McCarron.
One score would not have greatly altered the dynamics of the game.
One call at most.
Bama. First 3 possessions = 3 straight TD's.
What put ND in a huge hole was the inability of ND defense stopping the freight train known as the Bama running game.
And this, we will agree on.
