Personally I felt the TD call was kicked. He did not know it was a TD as he was coming in. Roth then pulled the ball out from under him and at that point, per replay, it was clearly not over the goal line. He then moved it forward and into the end zone. At that point, if I'm on the line, I rule it short. The wing didn't as it was at that point he called it a TD. To any extent replay would not have changed anything. Now did the ball actually cross when Roth was diving? Maybe, maybe not, but the covering official was not sure either as he would have came up immediately if he was.
