I disagree. You can't give them the 6 and then assume he makes the PAT. You could likewise assume USC holds them, if we make the assumption that Texas scores legitimately after the review calls back the TD.

Texas wins, on the scoreboard, but, it's not really considered legit with that gift of 6pts when the crew could have done their job and reviewed ANY score that looked iffy.

Oh, quit crying already. The University of Spoiled Children lost, we won. Enough said!

All these "what if" scenarios are silly.
Bottom line- USC was up by 12 with 6 minutes to go.
Who won the game?

See post 3484 - the play would most likely stood up. It is not a "phantom" TD no matter what Dan Fouts and Keith Jackson think.

If Young had been in the act of fumbling, would you have considered him down if his knee hit the ground before the ball was completely away from his body?

OK how about that gift of a incomplete pass for USC, when it clearly was an interception by Texas? There are all kinds of what ifs we can talk about.
