2011 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Referee call
This game was notable for a confusing set of explanations by referee Penn Wagers on the play that led to the game-winning touchdown. The initial ruling on the field is that Ohio wide receiver LaVon Brazill had crossed the goal line for the touchdown on a reception from Tyler Tettleton. But a replay review of the play was issued following the play to determine if Brazill was downed before getting the ball into the end zone. After a first look, Wagers came out to confirm the touchdown, indicating that the evidence is clear that Brazill scored the touchdown. But there was confusion as to the reason it was a touchdown. It appeared that Brazill fumbled the ball and since he recovered his own fumble, that he is allowed to advance it making the score a touchdown. After further discussion, Wagers came out and said:


2011 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Referee call
There's a correction on the play. The receiver who recovered the ball, I mean, fumbled the ball, into the end zone, was the player who ended up getting the ball in the end zone. Therefore, it is a touchdown.


2011 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Referee call
However, after another review, the touchdown was reversed since Brazill was downed before getting the ball into the end zone. Wagers then said:


2011 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Referee call
Replay has reviewed, the boy who caught the pass was down at the 6-inch line prior to fumbling the ball. That is the ruling. The ball will be placed at the 6-inch line. First down.
