Jurassic - I think that ESPN.com story was updated. I read it a few times last night before posting, and did not see any mention of a quote from the referee.

That said, I went back to the video and timed the play myself. While I realize that the officiating crew had better equipment than I did, I never came up with anywhere near six seconds. My times (over 5 trials) ranged between 7.64 and 7.83 seconds, with a median of 7.70 seconds.

I think everyone realizes what the refs did to try to correct the mistake but, at this point, I have to think that they erred in doing so.
