Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe ball was recovered at the two-yard line, then ruled a score after review.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe conference now says it should have been BYU ball, third-and-goal from the two.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd the review wasn't done by the refs on the field. Arizona State's coach says they weren't to blame.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt came from the Big 12's replay operations center in Irving, Texas. So who reviews the reviewers?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe same conference, evidently. The replay operations center in Irving reviewed Irving's work and found Irving at fault.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThird week running.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYes. A second should have been restored against Notre Dame, and a ten-second runoff ended regulation against UCF.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWhether this one changed the outcome can't be known. The conference has ruled it the one question it won't review.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThree weeks, three confessions. At this rate the replay center is the only thing in Provo that's never had a bad Saturday.
