Like I said, perhaps the rule is different, but the defender there clearly didn't maintain possession through going to ground - the ball came out as he hit the ground - which would be a clear incomplete pass in the NFL.

I'm only just starting to watch college football, and I am finding myself a little surprised at some of the calls which are not at least reviewed, but the ones they were complaining about seemed fine to me!

Every ply is "reviewed". They only stop the game for plays where they need extra time to review.

The announcers have no clue about the rules and don't really care to learn.
