Two footballs on field, two TDs, different teams

[INDYREF]

Were the balls checked at the beginning of the game? We check and mark each ball before the beginning of the game. If this had been done in this case, the officials would have been able to tell which ball had been in the game since it would have had the schools name on it. If the ball had the other schools name on it, it would have been an illeagal ball at that time. Marking the ball saves much confusion when moving balls in and out with a change of possession also.
