Temple Loses in a Heartbreaker

Did anybody else see the end of this game?

The referees really dropped the ball on this one. 4th down with like 40 seconds left and they do a reverse and chuck it into the end zone. Then the ball is tipped and a Temple player catches it and just gets his foot in bounds, refs call it out though. It is reviewed and the announcers were convinced that it was a TD. Refs say play stands and UConn wins 22-17

it was an absolute awful call and they lost the game because of it.

On a lot of the games today, reviews that should clearly overturn calls have been upheld. It's almost like the refs are too proud to admit they were wrong or something (Texas vs UCF, Texas guy clearly caught the ball and took two steps before getting hit and the ball coming out and going out of bounds, they review it and still decide that was an incomplete pass).
