I was referring to that bonehead lateral Bush attempted.
Yep, knee was down. Hard to figure why that was not an automatic review. Also, not sure USC would have stopped TX. It would have been 1st and 10 on the 11. USC certainly had no answer in stoping TX inside the 10.
I was watching the game at the local watering hole with some buddies. I saw a couple replays and it did look like it was close to a forward lateral too. But the angles that were shown when I was watching were really not the best to determine this.
The play should have been reviwed......we'll never know if it would have mattered.
