Wow, look at #48 on this list. I think if replay existed in '84 we don't win the

Actually you can from the initial view. He breaks the plane before he is out.

I agree. He doesn't go out at any point, and he breaks the plane. I don't

Great freeze frame. He looks in to me, though. It looks like there is space

It's pretty close either way. The officials had to make the call in real time.

I agree. It was just an observation on a play I’d never seen before

Kind of like when replay existed when Bradley’s knee was down?

Never heard this. Don't believe it. The ref call touchdown pretty quickly.

No need to baselessly try to diminish plays from 40 years ago.

Can't 'easily' confirm since you can't see the runners feet when the ball breaks

by today's standards, that one is a slam dunk overturn.

To be clear. The Immaculate Reception likely hit the ground. Rice certainly

And Utah doesn't beat BYU in 2002 or 2010 (if done properly). TCU 2005. Etc etc etc etc. Feels so great doesn't it?

Agreed. That A&M TD is a Top 10 play for sure

The biggest problem by far is that there are a lot of top plays for which they don't have footage

There was no season except for 84 that was better then the 96 season. Blue Army!

p.s. #39 & #32 would not be touchdowns today as Vai celebrated before he got in the endzone and Reynolds continued play

IOW, football is over-regulated today

Ironically, that play with Reynolds was the last possible BYU game he could have

Oh brother, apply that to every play for the season, then do the same with Washington, and any other in the running

True, but the ball did cross the plane of the goal line.
