BYU vs Utah "The Gift"

The terrible call that handed Utah back the ball with time to score the game winning touchdown didn't "cost" BYU the game. Unfortunately it was the absence of a 42 yard field goal that could have easily been a 25 yard field goal. But it would be naive to think that game winning touchdowns handed to the home team on their final drive of the game don't help tremendously. With that having been said here is a still frame from the television coverage to help you decide if it was the right call. Remember that the replay officials had this same view.
Ball in arms: Check, Knee on the ground: Check,  On field official with a great view of the play: Check, By some miracle the mountain actually has a decent view of the play: CHECK
