Ok so disclaimer im a Duck fan and Oregon deserved to lose and UCLA was the better team...

 But why did they make a big deal of announcing the ball  would be at the half yard line and then literally put it at the 2 for the conversion? That was bizzare. And then no one said anything more about it?

Was it because a 2 pt conversion is an all or nothing play? There is no “from the end of the run”?

Should have been half the distance to the goal at least but they spotted it at like the 1.5.

That whole sequence was bizarre.

> 1.5 yard line

So I didn’t watch this game, but the NCAA rulebook says that tries are taken from the 3-yard line. Could it be that the referees did give half the distance to the goal, but misspoke about “half yard line”?

They respotted and said because it was personal foul it would go from the end of the initial try for 2, so it would go to the. 1/2 yard line and then a bunch of talking to coaches and the. Ball was at 1.5 yard line but no announcement was made

It was bizarre

I wonder if was the idiot refs going “one half yard line” as in 1/2 while some other idiot ref said “one and a half yard line”
