SPORTS TAKE: LSU rules game of inches

By Jackson Posey | Sports Writer

It’s often said that football is a game of inches.

But on fourth-and-6, there were perhaps mere millimeters between an Ashtyn Hawkins touchdown reception and a turnover on downs. Five feet away, a referee raised his arms, signaling the former; after a lengthy video replay, the crew chief overturned the call to a chorus of boos.

“Bruh,” the official Baylor Athletics account posted after the call on X, formerly known as Twitter.

It didn’t take long for Hawkins to get back in the end zone.
