It's funny, it was probably a double edged sword. I was standing on the sideline right at the goal line talking with one of the HS coaches who was there to watch the game, I think the initial reaction was that he had scored as the ball did cross the line when he landed, but when the referees got together the decision was that his knee was down prior to the ball crossing the line.
Without the stopping of the clock and taking the time to discuss multiple views of the play the call might have been TD on the first play, so the defense got a reprieve, but in doing so it gave the offense an additional chance which they then capitalized upon.
