Interception on the 2 yard line

[RUfromSoCal?]

I know it's a minor point given everything else that went wrong... but....

Was there any sort of Official Review on that INT? they just put the ball on the 2 yard line. Any opinions if he immediately took a knee or fell down in end zone if they would have put it on the 20? Seemed like there was almost no consideration that his momentum took him into end zone...

I initially thought his momentum carried Lewis into the end zone. Watching the replay the only thing I could come up with was if he was in enough control to hop over the Wisky WR on the ground, the officials felt he had enough control to stay out of the EZ. Then the question then becomes why it wasn't a Safety? Don't know the rule on that.

Too bad Huskeralways isn't here. He'd know the answer.

Actually, that's a great point, it's either a safety or the ball should be on the 20. The only way it could be on the 2 would be if his progress was stopped there, but I don't see how you could make that call. I know it's irrelevant, but it would be interesting to hear from others how they could conclude putting the ball on the 2.

I agree. It should have been ruled a touch-back. If it wasn't a touch-back it should have been ruled a safety before it was marked on the 2 yard line. Weird call.
