Wouldn't you think ESPN could realize that they are looking at it from the TV angle where you cannot tell if the player lowered his shoulder into the defense or not? The official was very confident with his call so I'm inclined to believe the offensive player leaned in and forced the contact and the defense had legal guarding position.

I was on the phone getting my 'mack' on while watching the game. I was immediately like "whoaa" right in the middle of my conversation. But when I saw the replay it's clear the LSU player lowers his shoulder and the Lead on this play had the perfect angle to see between the players and to pick up the defender. And the official did come out very strong and confident with his call.
