a safety or turnover that results in a TD for the other team, but statistically, still much better to have the ball at 1/2 yard line than to give up 3 points.

Still no explanation for that terrible review that gave KSU 3 points.

There was not a good video angle of where the ball was when his toe hit the sideline...

Coug

12:50pm

There were 2 angles that showed his foot on the line and the ball at ~ the 1/2

The Y's Insider

12:52pm

ESPN showed a very clear angle. Both commentators were shocked at the ruling

Saxa

12:52pm

Huh? They had the angle right on the goalline

The Dark Knight

This was the smaller problem. It was clear when his foot touched down that the ball was short. (You can use info from 2

Looks like the shadow of the ball is clearly in the endzone. Touchdown!

Video replay of the refs on Saturday night:

Yes, precisely like that one. Too bad no such picture exists.

I was late for a date and in a bad mood because of that. Thanks for the reminder

It’s the “stands” vs “confirmed”. Call on the field was apparently going to stand either way. But WHY did they

mvtoro

12:53pm

The change to the on the field call is what I don't understand

The Dark Knight

12:55pm

This is where it bugs me. If there’s no video review coming I doubt any ref has the balls to huddle and override the guy

The only explanation that makes sense in my mind is that the official mis-spoke.

Mufasa

No. They actually called it a TD LONG after the play and while huddled.

The Y's Insider

12:57pm

Ah... I missed that part.

Mufasa

12:58pm

1) No. They announced TD as ruling on the field. 2) No way that video “overturns” a call that he stepped out.

mvtoro

12:57pm

Why? He was very clearly short

BYU '80

Maybe they were confused on the standard to overturn the call. They thought they needed something clearer

Bob Vance

The more egregious error IMO was overriding (in huddle) the call of the ref who was closest to the play. I don’t think

mvtoro

I’m not sure us getting the ball at the 1/2 yard line would have been the best outcome.

The refs are allowed to huddle, ask each other if another had a better angle or

Corn Pop

1:17pm

The line judge right at the play showed us all his call with his signal. Whoever in the huddle overruled or convinced

mvtoro

I'm never a fan of a far away ref/ump overruling the closer one to the play, but

Corn Pop

I am never a fan of any ref overturning a call that hurts BYU...ever.

Pangare

If the call on the field had been, "out of bounds at the 1/2 yd line",

PacificNW

...and that WAS the call of the line judge at the spot.

Confirmed...terrible review.
