they do that unless they’re confident the video will show clearly what happened.

Then they also blew the review.

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...

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

Huh? They had the angle right on the goalline

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 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

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

The Dark Knight

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.

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.

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

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

??? 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

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

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

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

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