The New Haven Register has a story spun out of Yale's one-point loss to Dartmouth under the headline, Is it time for Ivy League to add instant replay in football? The story includes this, which will raise some eyebrows:When tight end Jaeden Graham caught a Kurt Rawlings pass in the end zone midway through the third quarter, it appeared Yale had a 31-14 lead. But the referee behind Graham ruled that his foot was out-of-bounds on the catch.
Replays seemed to show otherwise. Graham vehemently pointed to the replay on the Memorial Field Jumbotron, trying to sway the officials’ opinion.
“I still think it was a touchdown,” Graham said on Tuesday. “We all thought it was a touchdown on the sidelines. Ultimately, it’s not our call to make, and we have to live with it and move forward.”
After the game, the official from the press box told Reno that it should have been ruled a touchdown. Reno watched video of the game on the bus ride back to New Haven on Saturday night. Asked if he thought the play should have been ruled a touchdown, the coach chose his words carefully.
“Let’s just say it was a little different than what was called on the field,” he said.Also from the story, after a mention of the cost of starting up official replay:
That is perhaps a steep price to pay for schools. For Yale, however, that price likely would have helped provide a victory over Dartmouth on Saturday afternoon.
