I didn't think there was a rule on this.  I didn't have a constant clear 
view of the JumboTron at Purdue (I was sitting more or less under it), but 
thanks to their annoying "whoosh" sound effect whenever they started 
showing a reply, I was able to tell that they showed fairly immediate 
replays for everything, including plays that were reviewed.  Maybe they got 
the reply in soon enough before the end of the play that the review hadn't 
started yet, but I thought that they showed a couple (re-replayed them) 
while they were actually under review.  The goal line fumble on Purdue's 
first drive and Baz getting tackled at the one on our last drive come to mind.
