We were in that Oklahoma game...still should have been a fumble on the punt return if you ask me

It was a fumble. Until the knucklehead official blew his whistle.
Seemed like the whistle came after it looked like we would recover the fumble.
I don't think Oklahoma had it when he blew his whistle.
Why wouldn't you just wait until the for sure end of play before you blow your whistle?
Then the official could huddle with the other officials and say what he thought happened.
We really could have beaten Oklahoma that season.
Sure am glad we punted and kept it close!

Completely agree. Maybe we'll get another shot at them one day.

Karma bit Oklahoma in the ass the following week when an equally bad call cost them the game vs Oregon.

As egregious as that play was, what really sticks with me from that game was Watson electing to punt on 4th down with no timeouts and two minutes to play down 7.... a play that sort of encapsulates Watson's career as a head coach, he would rather had lost by 7 than go for the win but risk losing by more.

That was also the "sock" game where our best defensive lineman got left in Birmingham after he punched the equipment manager because he thought he had stolen his socks.

Only time I ever saw the smokin' hot Mrs. Smaug yell at a television. You be the judge.

Still mad about that. It was definitely a fumble.

We Actually Had them beat, Until Adrian completely took the game over. Same thing when we played FSU, we had them beat until Bowden took that time out and cried, we even had Tennessee beat until we ran out of Gas. What does that mean, Hope we can beat Ball State and Coastal those guys are mean..

The guy from Fresno - James Noble III - continues to be the most consistent of the bunch. The guy has talent. All of the first four - along with Carlos Stephens and Spencer Brown - are pretty tightly bunched. First scrimmage is next Saturday. Wonder if anyone can create some separation before and after the scrimmage.
