From what I saw the whistle was pretty close to the horn. I don't think that this play was reviewable according to the correctable errors that the replay was supposed to help on. I DO think that this type of play should be added to the list of reviewable plays. As far as lag time, none is allowed in the ncaa rules, just in the federation. So if Jim's whistle was late, Ed was the crew chief, it was his call to let stand or overturn. I believe it was a bang-bang play and although I thought Jim's whistle was a little late, it was close to the horn and that was what Ed ruled it by.
