Was Braeden Davis saved by the ref again?

[1032004]

Pretty crazy scramble starts around 10:15.  Davis shoots and comes close to a TD of his own, but then Waterman comes close to a danger TD, and then a regular TD right afterwards.

Not nearly as egregious as the Kilkeary match last year, but I kinda think he was taken down there.

edit: worth noting that Davis did appear to tweak his knee early in the match which could have impacted him

Ironically, when I watched that, I was wondering why they weren't giving the danger count to Waterman, i.e., 3 for Davis. Looked pretty clear to me that Davis had him beyond 90 degrees for a while and the ref didn't bother swiping. Really weird exchange.

I had that thought for a second also, although it was hard to tell from the camera angle.  But I’m skeptical since even though the ref was on the wrong side at first, when he got to the other side the position hadn’t really changed IMO and he did not count danger.

Close calls either way but keep one thing in mind. When you are counting for a danger takedown, you don't start counting the instant the other guy goes to his back. You give it 2-3 seconds to be sure he's being held there.

IMO, it was a “regular takedown” after the danger situation(s).   Right before Drexel threw the brick.
