And apparent turnover, where an official used to be 80% sure the knee was down, he used to blow the play dead. Now he lets play proceed, because a wrong turnover call can be fixed, but a wrong dead ball call (except in very limited instances) can't.
I bet the two judges in the Arkansas /Virginia Tech punt fumble fiasco wish they didnt rule that play dead.

The penalty saved them, from what I understand.
