Watching the Ohio State vs Oregon game, Oregon got a strip fumble recovery that was ruled a completed catch non strip, and the review system did not have the time to halt play and review it.
The review system is a failure

I didn’t like the no calls on 2 PIs in the PSU game and a couple others and thought the OSU game might be similar after that non INT but the officials made some other PI calls against OSU including the crucial OPI call on Smith that killed their go ahead FG drive.
I thought that was a bad call.. in that they allow that and since his body was moving backwards, I don't think a lot of force was applied.. that is, we have seen worse push-offs not called.. but I am not offended by it.
There was a NFL game OPI call that was baffling.. I forget what teams.. but it was clear that OPI flag was thrown VERY EARLY.. that is, the official in the corner of the endzone was looking for it.. and saw it.. even when it did not happen. What happened was a defender came up to smash the picking WR.. who simply stopped and did not physically contact teh guy who would have covered teh WR catching the TD.
very bad call... should have been reviewed.
Amazing how these crews have 5 minutes to discuss false starts and encroachment, but don't have time to get a fumble call right.
