WATCH: Overturned call leads to first TD in Alliance of American Football history
The Alliance of American Football is off to a rocking start on Saturday night, and the game between the Orlando Apollos and Atlanta Legends has provided a couple of firsts.
Atlanta K Younghoe Koo scored the first-ever points in the league’s history, but it was Orlando — coached by Steve Spurrier — that got the league’s first touchdown.
As you can see below, former Texas QB Garrett Gilbert found Ohio State WR Jalin Marshall in the end zone for an impressive catch:

It was called an incomplete pass on the field, but the replay official overturned that call and ruled it a touchdown.
In the AAF, teams have to go for two, as there are no extra points. Orlando converted and currently leads Atlanta 16-3 in the second quarter.
She could not make up her mind, she apparently had no idea what she was doing but eventually got it right after going back and forth for several minutes.
So she got it right after going back and forth for several minutes?
That’s exactly what replay is for. She came to the correct decision after multiple viewings of the play.
