Refs calling 2 incomplete passes

They are arguing that they didn't complete the process. However, they don't seem to mind that for TCU.
To complete a catch in football now you have to catch it, carry it to the ground, get up with it, walk it home and place it on your mantle while maintaining control throughout. But they were both correct interpretations of bad rules IMO.
I don't have a problem with them being call incomplete. What I have an issue with is when it is clear a player is at the least down, allowing the so called fumble to play out. Plays like that get players injured.
It's the same general if you go to ground while making a catch you have to complete the "process" ********.
Never said that was the problem with this game. Big 12 officiating is a problem whenever we take the field it seems. Blow out or not, be ******* consistent.
Bundridge knee was down, losses ball out of bounds after tcu guy jumps on him, when is he officially "completing the process"?
Lazard took a few steps right? I don't remember that one too much, can't find pics or gifs. Plus his knee was down before another TCU guy knocks it out.
They may be correct based on how they are calling it but that doesn't mean the interpretation of the rule is right. Anyone that thinks those were correct calls is an idiot. They were absolute jokes of calls.
On the Lazard one I don't get why they wouldn't have called it incomplete right away. It wasn't like whether he had it long enough was hard to determine.
On the touchdown that was embarrassingly bad officiating. Not only do they screw up the review but how the hell is it even close to an interception. Their guy was at least a step away from our guy when he first caught it and started going down. Then when he finally came up with it he was well out of bounds.
The Bundrage one is pretty straight forward, the interception call on the field was 100% wrong, but the DB basically took the ball away right when Bundrage hit the ground out of bounds so he didn't maintain control through the process of contacting the ground.
Why, on a running play, is it a dead ball TD the moment it crosses the line but not on a passing play? Shouldn't it be a dead ball TD the moment the ball is caught?
