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

Sep 23, 12:50pm

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

The Y's Insider

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

Saxa

Sep 23, 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!

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

I don't think that's crux of question. When was the TD called? If not called the

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

That was the first season of ByU football that I followed. That loss hurt bad

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

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

The Dark Knight

Sep 23, 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

SoBlueitHurts

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

Mufasa

Sep 23, 12:55pm

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

The Y's Insider

Sep 23, 12:57pm

Ah... I missed that part.

Mufasa

Sep 23, 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

Sep 23, 12:57pm

Why? He was very clearly short

BYU '80

Sep 23, 5:09pm

So if the official call on the field had been that he stepped out, there’s no way that video would have overturned it.

mvtoro

Sep 23, 6:25pm

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

Bob Vance

Sep 23, 1:01pm

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

Sep 23, 1:04pm

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

SpecialT

Sep 23, 1:11pm

??? A turnover on downs at the 1/2 yard line is definitely better than giving up a field goal. I know there is risk of

mvtoro

Sep 23, 1:16pm

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

Corn Pop

Sep 23, 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

Sep 23, 1:21pm

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

Corn Pop

Sep 23, 1:26pm

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

Pangare

Sep 23, 2:19pm

Maybe the ref who called him out of bounds had 2nd thoughts in the huddle

BYUCLA

Sep 23, 6:04pm

Shouldn't they have signaled that it was aTD then?

Great38

Sep 23, 6:35pm

Does it matter? They huddled, discussed everything that happened on the play,

Corn Pop

Sep 23, 6:49pm

I need the hands up. Haha.

Great38

Sep 23, 8:16pm

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

PacificNW

Sep 23, 3:52pm

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

The Dark Knight

Sep 23, 4:15pm

Confirmed...terrible review.

PacificNW

Sep 23, 4:44pm

Yeah, that was the call on the field and the video apparently wasn't

Great38

Sep 23, 6:39pm

Bizarre is what was, he stepped out of bounds

Weagle Coug

Sep 23, 5:41pm

Point #2 !!

Great38

Sep 23, 6:33pm

They came out of their huddle and declared the official ruling on the field to be “TD” before the review started. No one

mvtoro

Sep 23, 6:38pm

They announced that before the video review?

Great38

Sep 23, 6:40pm

Yes. I always listen for it because of situations like this. Before any review they’ll declare what the offical “call on

mvtoro

Sep 23, 6:46pm

I guess that makes sense. But I've seen refs signal a TD very late so I expected

Great38

Sep 23, 8:19pm

They may have and we just didn’t see video of it, but I think it was not called a TD before they huddled together. The

The touchdown was so that Avery could donate to his high school principal's care
