Play: The LTG is obvious - such as the inside of the 5 yard stripe. The covering official rules that FP was past the LTG. Upon replay, it is clear that the progress was short of the LTG (because it was short of the 5 yard stripe) but it is not known how much short of the stripe progress was.
Ruling: A 1D will not be awarded. It will be the next down, with the best estimate as determine by the Referee.
When the R voices this, should be not use "just shy of the 5 yard stripe"?
