I aggree with you there.  That was a fluke call.  I don't know what game those officials were watching up in the booth, but the guy clearly blew that one.  The guy definately recovered that fumble in bounds.  IMO

Seems like they forgot the "clear and convincing" standard.

I don't remember which conference that is, but I agree, that is a good system.  Give the coaches control over it, but make it a risk/reward type thing.

I think the Mountain West is the only conference in which coaches can challenge a call. I think they get one challenge per half, if they are wrong then a timeout is burned, if they are right then they can use another challenge that half.

they should let it be used on more stuff instead of just pass.

I actually like the thing. I know it's not cool to some of the "old school" football fans, but you really hate to see a game decided by a blown call. Even in victory, if you don't feel like you deserved to win, you almost feel "cheated" out of a fair competition. (Not that WE'VE ever been the beneficiary of poor officiating, ha ha)

As for who decides, I don't like the flag-throwing. The "Man Upstairs" should have a better view of the play on his multiple monitor setup, and ought to be fairly liberal, IMO, with reviewing. As long as the refs move effiiciently, it shouldn't take that long to decide. Heck, we can sit there for 10 minutes while Budweiser, Geico, K-Mart and Sprint tell people to buy their garbage, so I feel like "wasting" 1-2 minutes on getting a call right is a bargain.

I like the NFL system where it's in the coaches hands except for the final 2 minutes.  I'd give the coaches 2 challenges per half and if they were wrong I'd charge them with a timeout and flag them 5 yards for delay of game so there is an incentive to be right.

I voted for that I like it, but I totally agree with this post. Why not adopt a somewhat proven system.

I like it, but as many Vol fans saw on Saturday, they still blow big calls.
