Subject: The pass interference call on Miami

Hello, my name is Agustin Alvarez and I am from Miami. I am a BIG Miami Hurricane's fan, and like many people was watching the game against Ohio State on Friday. In overtime Miami stopped that pass in the end zone, and the official with the clearest view on the field called it an incomplete pass. That means the game is over and the Canes won. Yet, another official after the play was called and the game was over, throws a flag and calls pass interference. That was a bad call period. I read in ESPN.com that he himself wanted to Review the play in his head to make sure it was holding but then he saw it was pass interference. Lets be honest here, the official wasn't sure what to call, he had to think about the play after it was over, then after the official with the best view calls it an incomplete pass, this man in the back field has the nerve to call it pass interference, why was that allowed? My questions are the following, why doesn't the NCAA review the way this call was made, as well as the call, and see if the original call should have stayed? I don't want them to come out saying " Ohh the game is decided blah blah blah", no, that�s not what I'm asking for. I would just like to see if the official messed up and to let people know. Bottom line is Miami didn't step it up at the very end. Second, I honestly think this man's credibility should be questioned for the fact of his view on the play, the fact that he was indecisive in making that call, and also the fact that he overruled another official�s call even though the other official was right in front of the play with the best view on the field. Would the NCAA finally realize that college sports need instant replays and allow coaches to challenge plays? Thank you for your time, and Congratulations to the Buckeyes.
