Spurrier was standing at a different angle and he certainly thought it was short.
Well of course he did, he's the most biased person you could find for that situation. We've all seen coaches make even bigger stinks over plays that weren't near as close as that one. The refs, which are all unbiased as far as we know, we're standing right on it & had a better view than anyone, reviewed the play & still marked it a 1st down.

Try and justify it how you want, it was a terrible call by that ref. It wasn't an issue a camera angle or anything to the like. It was short. Luckily for the refs, Clowney pulled a Rasheed Wallace style "ball don't lie" play and made everyone forget about the call.

Difference between the SC response, and the end of the OU-Uo game at Autzen?

South Carolina finished the game, instead of continuing to whine.
