[NU Sports] Yesterday's video review

[Jim Leonard]

Does anyone have a clear explanation of what happened in the second half yesterday when we turned the ball over on the punt? 

It looked like Brendan Smith called for a fair catch and an EMU player interfered with his ability to catch it. That was lame, but it happens. So they give the ball to EMU 1st and 10. EMU runs a play. My understanding is that once you have another snap, the previous play cannot be reviewed. 

So the refs set the ball up for 2nd and 7 (thereby clearly acknowledging that an official play had been run) and THEN say that the punt/turnover play is under review. After the turnover stood, they set it up as EMU's ball 1st and 10 AGAIN. They basically erased a play that occurred on the field. 

I don't understand how that was possible.

Go Cats!
