"The replay we saw didn't definitively show that," he said in the postgame pre s conference (via ). "We saw one up on the scoreboard. I wasn't going to throw one anyways just to hope to take the chance. But they showed one up on the scoreboard that didn't have Spud Webb Jersey all those angles you guys saw.

I was told at the end of the drive they saw a couple other angles and I was told that it was incomplete."
