But even in real time he looked down.  I get that argument, but not when everyone but a couple of guys in black and white thought he was down.  

The point of reviews is to get the close calls right, not to use it to "fix" calls you know are probably wrong but you want to cover all the bases.

Herbie is right...and if that was Michigan on defense and he DID fumble, but they called him down and by rule blew the play dead (thus the fumble never happened)...you would be bitching like crazy.

It was the right move by the refs...just took too long to review the play.

ALWAYS let it play out.

You stop it short and you may blow a play dead and by rule nothing else afterwards really matters.

This is the best way to reward the DEFENSE. Too often they'd call the player down, but he'd fumble and the defense would recover and they'd come back and say the player was down and the fumble is non-reviewable.

Used to happen all the time.

Good job, refs. Herbie was absolutely correct.

You don't prematurely blow the whistle but you can't automatically call a fumble. If you think he's down you have to call it. You don't want it to be inconclusive then it would stay a fumble.

That was easy.  OSU didn't come close to stopping them.  That's a bad sign for OSU as the tempo will just do more damage as they get later in the game.
