On 4th down and 1 we give it to Taylor who initially hits the pile, but then bounces back a bit, spins, and lunges forward. The refs run in from the side, and do NOT signal touchdown. The Notre Dame players and fans are celebrating... But wait, it's under review. We wait around for over 5 minutes for a decision, during which time, the replays are clearly showing that Stephan Taylor got the ball over the plane of the goal line before an elbow or knee touched the ground. Surely they'll reverse it, we'll kick the extra point, and continue OT. NOT! Ref comes back - play stands as called. Horrible.
The next day, there's all kinds of fallout that it should have been called a touchdown.
Notre Dame moves to 6-0, their first undefeated start in a LONG time, and they're actually starting to be included in the BCS national championship conversation.
