Yes I know it worked out (S/O Joe Foucha), and I know CBK made recent comments about replay negatively affecting the game but I mean..
D gets a pretty clear stop on our own end of the field when your opponent is driving for the lead in the 2nd half and we just watch the ref negate it with a terrible judgment??
I would think it’s gotta be worth burning your first timeout in that situation to at least get in their ear about it, especially with the way they were over officiating the game.

When the play happened live, I thought for sure he was short. When they showed the replay a couple of times, it was closer than I originally thought. Maybe staff thought it was too close to burn a TO on since it was right in front of them. I dunno.

The problem with the call was they called 1st down on the field. I didn’t see anything that could definitively show that he didn’t make it in those camera shots.

The main camera angle was not down the line. I don't know if they would have had a good enough shot to reverse the call.

I do think he was short.

Happened right in front of our bench.
Maybe we knew he had made it?

Yeah, coaches were either in shock or asleep not challenging that one. It was totally strange that no one went nuts and the refs just casually acted like he got it by 3 yards when he was short.

Can you objectively say there was enough evidence to overturn the spot? Probably not, so Kelly would’ve wasted a timeout and a challenge and y’all would be belly aching about that.

The ref that Automatically ruled 1st down was in zero position to make that call

Was at the game. I don't think I have ever seen that mny bad spots for both teams in a single game. They were consistently off by a yard in either direction.

Sounds like you should be next in line for a power five head coach vacancy
