Upon Further Review
USC coach Pete Carroll said there was no doubt UCLA linebacker Eric McNeal caught the ball after he tipped John David Booty's pass.
``I was right there, I saw it,'' he said.
Carroll also watched the game tapes and did not change his opinion.
You can still challenge it. Stranger things have happened.
Please ask Poodle Pete to find Lane Kiffin another job, give Sark a chance in the booth or hire someone with half a brain and a sack to go with it...
Eddie HOA:
Yeah that would have been brilliant. Burn a timeout, lose the review, and then have absolutely NO shot at a desperation heave.
We still called timeout, so what was the risk in immediately asking for a review? You never know, look at the Oregon/Oklahoma game
Trivia question,.. Who blocked the pass that sealed the Bruin win in 2006,.. Also, Who intercepted the ball after it was tipped?
...Geez, this guys claim to fame and I've forgotten his name already,..Why?...because he's a Bruin!!!...
He did it,.. we lost,..now let's move on and get rid of Lame Lane, That's who REALLY lost the game for us!

At that point in the game USC still had 3 timeouts. Also see "jim".
Funny thing is when Mcneal intercepted the pass the clock automatically stops with a change of possession and the Trojans had 3 timeouts. For some reason Carroll burned a timeout during the change of possession.
That wasted timeout would have given the Trojans a chance with 36 seconds left instead of 6 following the bruins 60 yard punt at the end of the game. Enough time for one final chance but all in all the Trojans hurt themselves by not breaking the Bruin spirit early and slapping them with a 3 to 4 TD deficit, forcing them to play from behind thus changing their whole offensive and defensive game plan.
We need a new O.C. Pete!
Review? Review? For those of us fortunate enough not to be at the RB and watched it on TV, there was no doubt. He caught it! We were done! (Agree, we didn't need to burn a TO). If a player called it, it just adds to the many, many errors our players made on this fateful day in Pasadena. This, too, will be "a date which will live in infamy ". (Gee, that was said 65 years ago, Dec. 8, 1941.)
