ULL scores a TD, but it should have been reviewed and brought back - ball hit the ground. The PAT was blocked, which adds a little intrigue to the upcoming fourth quarter.

I wasn't convinced the ball hit the ground, but it should have been officially reviewed to take a couple of looks at it.

Replay refs are unbelievably bad. In last night's BYU game, the lead change came in the 4th quarter on a sack/fumble/TD that was reviewed and 'confirmed', when it seemed obvious to me that the passer's arm came forward a few inches with the ball (while in complete control of it) before the rusher hit the ball with his hand.

One factor that's often overlooked on plays like that one: if the ball doesn't go forward it doesn't matter if the arm did.

The ball was moving the way I saw that - it was moving more up than forward at the time, but it was 'forward movement' to me. Both announcers and the replay guy disagreed, however, but I was in disbelief when they 'confirmed' it.
