Announcers claim a TD was scored. I bet the guys in the truck had it all cued up, RTG. They show all the replays... yup he broke the plane.
R gets the signal that the replay booth is reviewing the play. R goes over, 30s later comes back to tell everyone that the play was a TD.
If they were using the Canadian mechanic, the U would've signalled TD and there's be no unnecessary interruption in the game.  |
I don't know how the U could have gotten to the LOS to see that the ball crossed the plane even if that is their mechanic. If he wasn't right there, he would not have been able to rule on it either.
