[Husker] Stupid Mistakes

[Jerry Budd]

I'm not so sure it was a bad call.  After seeing the first goal-line view replay I thought the call on the field was incorrect, and that it was a TD.  But then when ABC finally showed the end zone view it looked like the ball was coming out of the Penn St players hand as he was stopped short.  Unfortunately ABC only showed that view once so I couldn't tell for sure, what really needs to happen is for the officials to be able to see split-screen time-synced video to be able to make the correct call on plays like this (and also for first down ball placements).  Does anyone know if they already have that capability as it's clear that the network doesn't and I thought the replay officials used the same video feeds?

GBR, Jerry 

But I could be wrong...
