yeah, that last question was answered in another thread. They were wrong to put the time back on the clock and replay the 5.1. They should have just corrected the score and ended the game. An unfair solution, you might say, but the correct one under the rules. The SEC issued a press release yesterday explaining the mistake, and saying that the three refs had been reprimanded.
I think this was a very tough situation for the refs all around.
It was a very close shot, hard to tell. They should have stopped play then to check, but LSU inbounded so fast, there was nothing they could do. They correctly went to the monitor at the next dead ball, and made the best decision they could. They were wrong to replay the time, but they probably did what they thought was fair and right in a situation they had never faced before.
Sometimes crazy things happen.
