I don't recall this. Is there any kind of link you can provide? According to this, the first season replay was used in any form in college football was 2006, McCarney's last year and one in which we went 1-7 in conference.

Big 12 used for conference games that were televised starting in 2005.
2 calls that my foggy memory seems to remember from the KU game
1- TD pass to Blythe in endzone. Ref immediately signals TD. Stripes come together, decided to rule incomplete and upon review there was an angle that appeared Blythe had a foot in but it was not "indisputable"
2- KU ran a qb sneak at GL on 4th down, refs say he didn't get in. Come together in huddle and decide he did get in and there is no angle that would have refuted the call either way.
SOmeone please correct me if I am wrong. 10 seasons ago now so I could definitely be off.
