Oklahoma Sooners vs. Oregon Ducks Officiating Controversy

what replay were the refs looking at..

this video clip does not do this play justice number one. and number two i was there that day... what this sliced and diced video doesn't show you is that the duck who had the ball also had his knee touch the ground... and if you idiots knew anything, (which you don't because you probably never played football), it means that the play is over. It doesn't matter who wrestles it away in the dog pile. DUH!

that was the worst call ever and i am a die hard ducksfan

I'm a die hard Duck fan, but I remember watching this game and having a sick feeling in my stomach afterwards. I don't blame losses on officials much, but there's no other option here.

An honest Duck fan with some class. They do exist.

questionably the worst call in the modern sports era. missed calls are one thing, but awarding a team the ball when the other team is screaming at you proving possession may suggest something beyond incompetence. tensions have died down, the outcome is more forgivable to fans, but these refs will go down in infamy... deservedly so.

How the FUCK do you blow that call? Conclusive video evidence?? What we witnessed that day was the epitome of incompetence. They deserved their suspensions and then some.

lol wow is this still on here, jeez oklahoma fans are whiners, i'm sorry but get over it, it was a while ago, you guys have a good team every year, live with the current time not the past, yes it was a bad call but crap happens

Watch the replay again. Oregon never had possession of the ball, it was loose until the Sooners recovered it. But what was up with Oklahoma? They recovered the football, they should've been celebrating like drunken madmen for coming up with the ball. I don't get why they were so subdued. Had they made it more obvious that they got the ball, they could've swayed these incompetent officials.

As for the replay official, he was sanctioned and I don't think he's ever returned to the booth for duty.

They probably felt it was so obvious they had it it wasn't necessary.
