My question - which I can't answer - is who makes the decision on replay. The 4th-down spot seemed off by at least a yard. The TV crew saw it.
So, I wonder - what are the rules? Can Fleck request/demand a replay? Who makes the final call - the ref on the field, or the mystery man in the replay booth. I know ( or think I know) that a college coach can't throw the red flag like an NFL coach. But there should be some mechanism to request a replay. AT least I think there should.
And I generally do not complain about officiating. I have too many friends who are officials. Yeah, even my friends blow a call now and then, but it's because they're human, not because they want team A or Team B to have an advantage.
(side note - was calling a HS FB game last week. Team A throws long pass - kid runs into end zone. I swear I thought I saw a ref signal TD. The PA announcer said it was a TD. Team A went out for next play - which I thought was the 2-point conversion. Play was stopped short of goal line. I was calling for a commercial break, when the ref held up 2 fingers for 2nd down. Team A was confused. Then I realized the earlier pass play had not been a TD, (ref said receiver stepped out of bounds) and the previous play had not been a 2-pt conversion, but was actually a 1st-and-goal play, meaning Team A now had a 2nd-and-goal. They eventually scored. I asked the Team A coach after the game, and he said he and his players thought the pass play was a TD, and he thought the next play was an unsuccessful 2-pt conversion. He was not happy with the refs for their lack of communication. it did not impact the outcome - team A lost the game 37-6.)
