    Rewatched the game this morning. On the incomplete pass ruled fumble after replay and recovered by Illinois at the 14, it was a total blown call by the replay official. It was a fumble, but there was a clear whistle that blew the play dead about 5 seconds before Illinois recovered the ball at the 14. Overturning the incomplete pass was probably correct, but giving the ball to Illinois at the 14 was completely wrong. All players stopped pursuing the ball after the whistle blew except those two Illinois players. It should have remained Nebraska's ball at the spot of the fumble. This blown call directly led to 7 points for Illinois.

    The funny thing is that when I watched the play, I thought how head's up those players were for not quitting on the ball. They will be shown in films as to what to do when the ball hits the ground. I am surprised they didn't just give them a TD... though they did score in one or two plays... and the QB just waltzed in between two defenders.
