You know you're at a GT game when...

All around you hear soemeone explaining to the person beside them the rules of the game. The safety was entertaining on so many levels

I'm pretty sure most folks on here didn't know either.

I include myself in that. I've never seen that happen before, but it makes sense.

I'm old and can't remember but it's the call I'd have made.

It was clearly an interception brought out of the endzone and fumbled back for a safety.

Exactly, you wouldn't get 20 yds free

for fumbling the ball plus you knew if we got the ball in the endzone it would have been a touchdown.

The ball was clearly fumbled when the player was out of the endzone, and it was fumbled into the endzone.
At that point only 3 things could happen:
1) A GT player recovers it and manages to get it out of the endzone: GT ball wherever he is tackled.
2) A GT player recovers it but doesn't get out of the endzone: Safety, 2 points for Clemson and ball after free kick
3) A Clemson player recovers: Clemson TD
It made no sense for touchback to ever be on the table.

Congratulations to the referee for getting it right... it was probably the ONLY time he was right all night!

I am by no means a football expect, and while I have never seen it before, I was yelling safety as it happened simply because it indeed makes complete sense.

I know that now... the application of the safety rule

totally makes sense there, but I just have never seen that type of safety before and I was pleasantly surprised at the result.

I was cheering when that play happened and my wife looked at me and said that it was an interception. I then told her that it was but it then turned into a safety and I then had to explain it to her. By the time I had it explained the refs came back and said it was a safety. Was a weird play indeed.

several times groups of Tech students waving pom-poms who looked like they had no idea what they were watching - were just talking with each other and not really watching the game.

I had a field day explaining that to the kids
Sep 23, 2016, 9:33 AM

As it happened in real time, I said "That's a safety". Then not a single word form the announcers as they are watching replays, neither of the talking heads recognizes the situation, and my family is looking at me oddly as I keep saying "safety" and have my hands above my head like I'm walking like an Egyptian.
I married into a non football family, but they're learning.
But I still don't understand how neither announcer caught it or mentioned it before the call was made 30 seconds later.

Same, I was yelling thats a safety refs, geez you suck

The rest of the family looked at me like I grew a third head or something. When the refs finally called it, they were like how was that a safety (had to explain he brought it back into the field of play on his own and fumbled it back into the end zone). I have seen it happen on a punt return, where they brought it out, got rocked, fumbled it through the back of the endzone for a safety, but I am not sure I have on an interception.

If you think Jesse Palmer is paying attention to the game (as opposed to talking about himself) you're in for a huge disappointment! LOL.
Remember, Jesse only has two penalty calls: (1) "That's a good no-call" when analyzing what should be pass inteference against GT, and (2) "That was obvious pass inteference" when analyzing a call against a Clemson defensive back. He's from the SEC so he has a limited vocabulary!

I knew something was wrong when the player ran out of the EZ and then fumbled, but I did not realize it was a safety until they explained it. Made sense at that point. I would have missed that call if I was the ref, and would have given the ball to GT on their 20.

I was disgusted and turned away. I didn't even notice that he was ever in the end zone.
