Rough year for the college guys...

I really think it was not a good idea to come out and say we blew a hold. It was a hold, probably just not one that maybe should have been called at that time cuz it wasn't bad enough.
There were still probably 150 or so other plays in that game which could have decided the outcome. It wasn't the officials.

What worries me is that someone is going to get the boneheaded idea that foul calls need to start being subjected to video review DURING THE GAME!

I am really surprised that a holding call was commented on. Usually, it is a procedural error or rule administration error. Evaluators don't usually look at judgment calls, just mechanics/positions/prodedures, etc.

Also, the article failed to note that the replay official in Oregon did NOT have the same video to review that the TV network had. He had a lousy view in which to make a judgment and it was not clear enough evidence to overturn the field officials.

REPLY: Just to clarify...supervisors do indeed look at judgment calls and provide feedback to the official, but they ususally do not put these kind of discussions into the public domain.

And in this case it appears it was not the supervisor who put this in the public domain, it was the coach.
