    The three yard spot may have been the worst placement I've ever seen, but was way down the list of plays that could affect the outcome.

    The worst one by far was in an early 90s Β bowl game between FSU and Nebraska. It was at the very end of the game, and they used instant replay (before it was an official thing) to determine that Nebraska had 1 second on the clock.* After resetting the play clock, they placed the ball a full 5 yards closer for Nebraska’s FG attempt. Fortunately, NU missed it.Β

    Worse yet, the QB appears to have stepped on the sideline at the 13. It’s mostly obscured by the defender, but that’s what it looks like to me.Β

    I just saw Burton address this on the post game. What the hell was going on with Wyoming getting the ball at the 8 when their qb ran out of bounds at the 12? They stopped the game for awhile but still didn’t move the ball back. The protection of incompetent officials has to be addressed. Someone should at least have to answer for something that egregious.

    Instant replay isn’t required to correct improper ball placement. I’ve see it done countless times prior to instant replay. But, I guess that requires at least one ref to not have his head up his ass... or not be corrupt.Β

    When was the last season they used that?

    I decided to do some deep investigative work, and that video was downloaded July 6, 2006, so it was probably around for the 2005 season. Possibly earlier. I don’t know how many seasons it was played, but I do remember some humorless people complaining on Hornfans that it was too dated and needed to be retired instead of continuing to be played on Godzillatron.Β
