That is what is hard to watch about sports which is the inconsistency of the officials. Crap like this with bad or inconsistent calls can hurt teams.

It's the same with punting the ball into the air after a play, that should have been a penalty.

It was, but it was after the TD so it wasn't called back. They kicked the PAT from further back.

He started the flip prior to being in the end zone. By definition of the rule, the touchdown should not have counted and ball placed back at the 16 yard line. Complete inconsistencies by officiating crews, even though this was supposed to be an "emphasis" this season.

Somebody should send the clips of both to the NCAA officials and ask for some clarification.
Why wasn't that taken back 15 yrds from the 1 or 2 yrd line?
Wadley's again.

There is no way you can penalize that, it was a full-sprint front-flip landed cleanly on his feet! If anything, they should have given him 9 pts instead of 6.

I'll play devil's advocate here. I don't know if they review plays like this, but could it be that before he technically launched into the front flip, the ball breaks the plane? I tried pausing the video and when he's getting ready to leap he's really leaning forward with the ball way out in front of him. I wonder if they concluded he crossed the plane before the somersault because they did flag the flip itself.
Did he change his stride before the end zone?

I have only seen highlights...would have loved to see that from the pylon cam. I dont recall of they use replay to dictate where the ball goes on infractions like that.
Whoa that was all Wadley did??? (Had not seen the play prior). That's tiddlywinks
