With nine minutes and twenty-six seconds remaining in the third quarter on Saturday, and West Virginia tied with Youngstown State at fourteen points, Mountaineer quarterback Skyler Howard found Daikiel Shorts in the back left of the end zone on a beautiful fade route to put West Virginia back on top.
On the field, the catch was ruled a touchdown. But before the Mountaineers could kick the extra point, the replay officials decided they needed to take a closer look at the grab. After a few minutes of deliberation, the replay booth let the call stand after the best angle they had of Shorts’ left foot was blocked by the pylon.
