Honestly, I thought the initial ruling was too far forward as well. But I disagree with your assessment. Before he was turned around, his right side was further forward than his left. While it's possible he did not reach the LTG, I think he was AWFULLY close to it before he got turned. The viewpoint from the sideline was the clearest, and that's the one you describe. But the viewpoint from about the goalpost appeared to have him closer before he rolled sideways.
