Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to give the benefit of whatever doubt to the officials working the game, than to whatever source led you to believe,
"There was an INT returned for a touchdown in the Div 1 game that apparently was not a touchdown and should have been a touchback"?

The replay, based on multiple accounts, was clear that the ball was out well before he crossed the goal line.



You decide for yourself what the call should have been. The score was 23-17 in favor of red before the INT. They converted the 2PC, so now it's 31-17 when it should have been 23-17 still with white taking over at the 20. Who knows what would have happened from there, but that's a huge swing that could have been corrected with replay.
