Event Description: USFL Enhanced Replay
Source: Football News
Five new areas in which United States Football League's instant replay rule can be invoked were announced Friday by USFL Commissioner.
Usher said that instant replay will be used for challenges of calls when the status of the ball is involved such as:
-- Fumble or no fumble.
-- Pass complete, incomplete or intercepted, including questions of whether a pass is forward or backward, passed beyond the line of scrimmage or is touched in flight by a defender or eligible receiver.
-- The ball's penetration of the goal line.
-- Whether a play is out of bounds.
-- Whether a kicked ball has been touched by a member of either team.
Usher also announced that additional moves are being taken to protect ball carriers -- especially quarterbacks.
