When Replay Fails
In the Oklahoma/Oregon game, officials failed to efficiently & effectively use the replay tool to ensure accuracy of the game. Fortunately, most mistakes do NOT affect the outcome of a game, but in this case the officials CLEARLY blew TWO CALLS within the last 1.5 minutes of the game which resulted in the game going to the losing team. YOU watch the replays of the on-side kick and tell me who touched the ball first, yet the officials stated "there was NOT conclusive evidence to overturn the call on the field." YOU watch the replays of the interference call against OU and tell me the ball was NOT tipped by the defenseive line of OU (AND watch the balls trajectory change too!).
Does anyone know if the NCAA reviews performance of officials?? These guys GAVE the game to Oregon and even their coach in the postgame interview stated "we'll take it!" - the ultimate insult to a fair game called by COMPETENT officials!!
IF the new NCAA replays can not be reviewed with ACCURACY, rhen what is the benefit of having them??
