That is not the correct threshold. And yes, he got it right. It wasn't even that close.

12-1-2 The instant replay process operates under the fundamental assumption that the ruling on the field is correct. The replay official may reverse a ruling if and only if the video evidence convinces him beyond all doubt that the ruling was incorrect. Without such indisputable video evidence, the replay official must allow the ruling to stand. It was close enough that two actual college football officials ruled him short during live action and at least one other actual football official is questioning the overturn of the ruling on the field. Show me a photo or video image that shows the ball breaking the plane of the goal line... Last edited by InsideTheStripe; Sat Oct 22, 2011 at 11:59pm. |

It met the standard. One of the two officials you speak of came out of the end zone and the other was at least partially blocked out of a view to the ball. Neither had the time to see a clear goal line plane, nor did they have the ability to slow or stop the action. The replay guy did and made the right call.

1:10 - 1:11 of the video http://www.sportsgrid.com/ncaa-footb...ith-hail-mary/
No way the ball is NOT breaking the plane TD |

B has responsibility for the end line (until the end line is no longer threatened). F and S have responsibility for the goal line (until the goal line is no longer threatened).
B moved up to the goal line as soon as it was obvious that the end line was no longer an issue. Unfortunately, he didn't make it there until after the ball had been driven back out of the end zone. Tough call for S because he never actually sees the ball. F probably had the best view despite being on the other side of the field. |

Got it Right
The officials got it right. It was a score, no doubt about it. I even thought it was a TD the very first time they replayed it at full speed.
It's really tough for me to say that because I am a die hard Badgers fan. The game never should have been close enough for that play to matter |

(I agree with you, it WAS beyond all doubt - he clearly crossed the goal line and there was a perfect angle in this case).
