NDSU Game (10/5/19)

[Virginia Redbird]

I just wonder how the league figured out it was a bad call? I'm assuming they have the same crappy cameral angles. Probably the refs just didn't look close enough (with the game time pressure on/time constraint). I'm just glad the score wasn't 10 - 3 at the time.

My guess is they just looked at the TV replay. The TD was obvious from the replays I saw watching the game on TV. The announcers thought so as well and expressed their surprise when it was not ruled a TD. The fumble recovery was not as obvious but was there sufficient evidence to over turn the call? I did not see any and expected the call to stand. I don't know what replays the Replay official saw but I am assuming it was what TV could provide. How the TD was not given and the on field call overturned was beyond me. It was a bad on field call and the replay was so much worse. I know these are not full time guys but those were very bad calls overall by the officiating crew. To appreciate just how bad it was...do you really think the MVC would toss these guys under the bus if there was any doubt in their minds? It had to be really bad for the MVC to make this stand in my mind.

I really don't know JH. I thought he was in and turned to my wife. My problem is a rule that's not applied consistently from game to game because it's dependent on something out of control of the officials. Even in the NFL, where they have 20 different angles on every play they don't always get the right shot. How can they expect to get it right with 4?

I worry about about the SIU game, coming off a beat down like that. That's where coaching really matters. I'll be impressed if they play well and win. Just getting to the playoffs this year might be a challenge.

In both cases the call on the field was reversed, right? Review of the film would confirm/contradict the reversal. They're saying the film was not conclusive. Sounds like the replay official needs attend the Incontrovertible Evidence training again.

no, on the TD call, they called no TD and upon review only said, the on field call stands .. meaning, replay review did NOT confirm their call, but they didn't see enough to overturn it the on field call.

Just saw someone from MVFC agreed .. and we got screwed on that review.

How could they say the film was not conclusive? I don't know what they were watching but the replay I watched was definitely conclusive! TD.
