I only caught the end.
I think the officials rightly corrected the call.
Trust me, I have no love for Notre Dame, but there was just something hinky about the way the refs gave USC a free play at the end. It's just kind of dissapointing that one of the best football games in years, college or NFL, should come down to the refs at the end.
Except that the ball went out of bounds at the three, possibly four yard line on the fumble. The ball should have been placed there with maybe three ticks remaining. They would have had to kick the FG there. I heard that USC's head coach made the call NOT to utilize instant replay for this game. Looks like he chose wisely! I enjoyed the game immensely but was pulling for the underdog just a bit. And I've never been a huge ND fan.
