[Husker] Reviewable plays?

[Mike Jaixen]

It may have only been 1 second, but it might have been the most important one second in all of college football this season.  The impact of the error makes it egregious.

I did some more digging and found an NCAA document entitled "NCAA Rules Committee Major Changes 2009-10". Section 12-3 lists reviewable plays in much the same fashion as the Big XII document cited by Brad. It then concludes:

"No other plays or officiating decisions are reviewable. However, the replay official may correct egregious errors, including those involving the game clock, whether or not a play is reviewable."

Was this - a split-second delay in stopping the clock - an "egregious" error? The term means extraordinarily bad, glaring, or flagrant, but I suppose the person deciding that is the person who performs the review, so I think we're done here. I wonder why they couldn't use that same rule to overrule a pass interference call on an egregiously overthrown ball. Oh, well.

You can find the document at -
