Kyler Reed catch

[ESPY]

There was absolutely no need for us to punt that quickly either since the clock would have stopped. Coaches and players should have taken their time, allowed the booth to review or at the very least, the coaches upstairs to review it then challenge it.

Agreed. The hastiness just added to the poor playing and coaching performance of the day. Kinda wonder sometimes if we even wanted to win that one. Sheesh...all of this is so frustrating.

 

[Apathy]

Sorry to bring this back up or beating a dead horse but I'm still upset but this certain play that wasn't reviewed. Here is a quote in a Husker Extra article.

Replays showed that Taylor Martinez's last pass before being pulled in favor of Zac Lee on Saturday probably should have been a completion. On a third-and-6 from the NU 35, Martinez found tight end Kyler Reed for an apparent first down, but officials ruled Reed out-of-bounds when he caught the ball. Replay showed otherwise.
"I couldn't see it," Pelini said. "I never saw it until afterwards. I don't know why it wasn't replayed. I heard about it later on. I couldn't see it at all. That's what the replay booth is for."

This is very true...both parts in the bold section. I was at the game and they only replayed that catch once and the camera angle was in a poor view which comes to my other point. Why didn't the replay booth view this? Sure they jump all over a :01 in the CCG to view that but yet fail to view this play that was certainly a catch. They replayed two fumbles and a Texas incomplete pass in the south endzone but failed to review this. I'm sorry but I wanted this WIN over any other opponent on our 2010 schedule and its just hard for me to let it go and I know that I should move on.

I agree that they rushed the punt, but Bo couldn't see it from his side of the field and not 1 but 2 refs standing on the sideline right next to the play called it not a catch. It would have been nice if our booth called down to have him challenge it, but I'm not sure they had any better a view than Bo did.

As a side note, the amount of time it takes for the booth to call down that they are reviewing a play seems way too long. ESPN/ABC manages to show five different angles of the shot before the next play is run, but it takes just about every single tick of the play clock and sometimes a timeout for the booth to give it a similar look? I don't get it. Since they are reviewing "every" play are they not being fed a live stream of those shots? Or do they have to request and then wait for ESPN/ABC to run them each time?
