Took the words right out of my mouth. I believe there was a sophisticated video breakdown done in the recent past (i.e. after 2000) that "proved" the forward lateral to be true. #BeatCAL 8)

It doesn't take anything sophisticated. Go to one of the youtube videos that has decent resolution, and step through the last lateral. It leaves the first guy's hand at about the 26 yard line and is caught by the next guy right about the 24 - maybe 24 1/2.

However, at least in the TV picture, there we no officials nearby to actually see what happened.

By the way, this version - a retrospective of the entire game featuring our own GaryT - is kind of fun and has decent quality tape of the game.
