I know which play you are talking about and I didn't think the ball ever touched the ground. If a player is still juggling a ball and then he falls to the ground while it's still loose but it never hits the ground, then he gains control does that mean it's incomplete?
So far I think the college replay system is a waste of time. I even thought this last year as well. They are relying on it too much and instead of making a call they'll wait and see if it's reviewed. This happened last year on numerous occasions when there was a fumble late in the game. Even if the fumble was clearly caused by the ground, the officials would rule it a fumble. I'm convinced that they had an "unwritten" rule that they wouldn't blow a play dead when the ball came loose. As much as everyone complains about the speed of a game, I think tossing the replay system is the first place to start. They're trying to get too technical with it and it's ruining the game.
