hmm... if you ask me, the footage provided was indisputable.
if they had run two feeds, one of the goal-line profile and the other of head-on goalpoast cam, simultaneaously they'd see that...
1) the running back made two distinct efforts to reach the ball over the goal line, and that only the second effort did so (from the goal-line cam
2) the running back was quite obviously down before the second effort was made (easily discernible from the goal-post cam)
run those frame by frame next to eachother with each one time-stamped to coincide exactly and it'll be very clear that the wrong call was made.
yup, they got hosed. it's tough to lose a season-altering game due to an officials poor call. even though the big12 doesn't publicly broadcast the poor review, rest assured that all those efforts and more are going on behind the scenes.
