The latest news on this is that the OSSAA Board of Directors will hear an appeal on the matter on Wednesday, despite initially saying their bylaws and NFHS rules did not allow for an appeal of an official's mistake. The request is that the final 1:04 be replayed with the TD awarded and starting with the ensuing try.

I'm not advocating either way with regards to the appeal (nor do I have an opinion on if the appeal should even be heard). That said, should the decision come down that the final 1:04 is to be replayed, there is still the matter of the 5 yard penalty for the sideline infraction and a 15 yard USC penalty (I would not support saying the USC should be waived because it was in response to a mistake). Being that the score would be 25-20, could the defense's head coach elect to split the penalties up to move the try back 5 yards (making what should be a 2 point try a little longer) and then back the kick up 15 yards to gain field position for a game winning or tying FG drive or do they have to be enforced from the same spot? I can't find anything requiring it, so I would think a strategic minded coach might have some thinking to do in this situation.
