In a 7 man set up how could the HL get any help on this?

I am not a NCAA Official and I am not as knowledgeable about what is a penalty in many cases in the NCAA code. But if the Oregon players had touched the ball that had not traveled less than 10 yards, is that not a penalty? If it is a penalty you cannot review a penalty.
I also think this was very close and was not very conclusive if you ask me. The ball was right near the line and it is not like we had a shot right down the line.

If you are talking about LSU-Auburn play, I have no answer. This was such a close call it could have gone either way. I think the officials did a good job to at least come together and discuss the situation. I am not saying it is right, but I really do not know what else they could have done. Remember this was not a play they had slow motion replay to decide and several angles in slow motion to draw a final conclusion.
