Once again these refs and worst of all replay ofifcials don't know what the rules are- watch the call at the end of the game. guy from cal appears to score a long td run- but the idiot drops the ball before crossing line. texas player picks up the ball after the play. they ruled that it has to be an immediate recovery of the fumble. the rule reads this way.
If Instant Replay is being used at the game, the play
is reviewable because of the clear recovery in the immediate
continuing action. (If there is no such clear recovery the play may not be reviewed.)
If he determines that player fumbled before crossing the goal line
and if he can determine indisputably which team recovers the fumble, then the result of the review is a touchdown or a touchback,depending on which team recovers the ball.
