@walterlv01 Given the national title implications and that it took away one of the greatest individual plays of the decade, this is probably the worst call in college football history. Colorado's is one of the most bogus national championships.

The replay clearly showed there was no block in the back, but the referee would not admit his crew blew the call and handed an un deserved win to Colorado and took a fabulous return away from the Rocket.

This is the greatest play I ever saw. The whole game Colorado kick the ball off out of bounds most of the game to prevent him from running it back. That one time they kicked it to him he took it to house. That ref was payed to make that stupid call.

i'm watching this on repeat on the same spot @ :41-:43 seconds....no clip...high and in front. I can see how in regular speed why it would appear to be a clip. hard to be a ref. I wouldn't want that job.
-
@5muftak To you it may have looked like a clip. To me though it looked like a clean block as he hit the other player in the shoulder which is fine
-
@natedagr808 You're a chicken shit! A total clip!
-
@bumedyjoke23 Even though I believe it was a horrible call, I believe that the 10 yard block in the back penalty had not yet been adopted, so all blocks in the back (above and below the waist) were clipping at that time.

Man, referees REALLY went out of their way to help Colorado win a national championship that season. How considerate of them ; )

Combine this game with the infamous "fifth down" call at Missouri this same season, a last-play TD at home against Stanford, a last-play end-zone INT to save a win over Washington, a tie against Tennessee and a one-point loss at Illinois, this 1990 Colorado team had the most controversial, and eventful, run to a (half) national title than any team I can think of. If you ask me, they were lucky to even get half a national title, Georgia Tech could easily have been the undisputed national champ.
