Rose Bowl Fuck Up?

Replay booth wasn't working properly for Texas-USC

New York (AP) --Replay officials at last season's Rose Bowl
were unable to properly review a Texas touchdown that should have
been overturned because the wrong television feed was plugged into a monitor.

The assistant replay official from the Rose Bowl, Dick Honig, told
Yahoo.com that the feed problem might have affected the review
of an earlier play involving Reggie Bush losing a fumble while
trying to lateral the ball.

Bush had gotten deep into Texas territory with a screen pass when
he tried to toss the ball to a teammate.

Parry said after viewing the play several times in very slow motion, it
appeared Bush's pitch went slightly forward, which would have been
an illegal forward pass, resulting in a dead ball and a penalty on USC.

Instead, the lateral was ruled sideways, and Texas was able to recover the fumble.

Or how about when VY's knee was down when he threw that pitch for the TD?

I loved that one too.

Texas won. USC had plenty of chances to win, but they didn't /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Seems to me like they are admitting that USC had 2 opponents that night besides Texas...

all USC had to do was stop Vince Young on 4th and 5...

The pivotal point of that game was the fourth and inches that Lendale White and the trojans couldn't get..Had they gotten that, VY and the Longhorns would have never gotten the ball back...
