Didn't think so, but as my above post questions, why not? That is one that is cut and dry. There's no debating it and if it's extremely too close to call by video then as is the case now you let the field ruling stand.

That has always been my problem with instant replay. The excuse that usually gets tossed around is how it would impact the pace of the game if everything is reviewed. Of course we now have games that end in regulation that last 4 hrs.

That's why I stated that it should be a coaches-challenge only review. Any other plays that should be review-able that currently aren't could also fall in that category. If it's an iffy offsides that doesn't hugely impact your offense's play, let it ride in case you need that challenge later. If it's 3rd and 4 late in a tight game, an offsides call could keep your drive alive if not called and you get a chance to have it reviewed.

Thanks for the rule book reference. That's what I expected.

But it is interesting. If a TD is scored with no time left on the clock and the scoring team is down by 3 or more or up by 3 or more then there is no PAT attempted.

Obviously if the scoring team is down by 2, 1 or tied then there is an attempt.

What's maybe a little less obvious is if the scoring team is up by 1 or 2, there is still an attempt.

Also in the vast majority of cases where a team is trying to score a last second TD, they will likely be down by 8, 7, 6, 5 or 4 prior to the TD. They could be down by 3, 2, 1 or tied, but would be more likely to go for a FG in most situations. Or if they have the lead, they are content to run out the clock without scoring.

Then a last second TD puts them down by 2, 1, tied or up by 1 or 2. So you would think almost all last second TDs would result in the scoring team going for a PAT/2-pt.

The big exception seems to be when the DEFENSE score the TD. Then it is more likely to result in the scoring team being up by 3 or more. See GT-FSU. Or when it is a hail Mary type play in a very close or tied game (see TN-FL).

Straight from the rule book.

a. The ball shall be put in play by the team that scored a six-point touchdown. If a touchdown is scored during a down in which time in the fourth period expires, the try shall not be attempted unless the point(s) would affect the outcome of the game.

Maybe you can write a letter to the NCAA about semantics.

No letter necessary. Rule book is pretty clear about what a "try" is and how it can end in subparagraph "d" of article 2 of section 3 of rule 8. I stand corrected on the NCAA's use of the word "attempt" in the framework of a "try".

When is the last time we used the coaches challenge? I remember gailey using it a lot but Coach Johnson, I think less than a handful.

2014 UGA fumble vs forward pass (still BS).

The review booth takes care of just about anything and they've gotten much better at identifying when to buzz in. Takes too damn long though.
