A standard set of camera angles that would include a view looking straight down the goal line plus at least a given amount of distance before the goal line would in this case be able to answer the question was he down by contact before the ball passed the goal line or not.
The only reply shown on TV that was even close was behind the goal line so it was impossible to determine if it was or was not indeed a touchdown.
Bottom line today is PC did not challenge the play so it's over and done with.
GO HAWKS!!!
If it had a sensor you would see the sensor go off, and then stop film , look at the knee. So yes the sensor would help, and it should already be technology in the game.
