I seem to recall watching sportscenter last year after Boise's only loss. If I remember correctly, it ended on a pretty controversial call, but there wasn't a big deal made of it.
These were the facts (again, if I'm remembering correctly):
OSU had the ball late in the game (on 4th down) and the QB or RB jumped over the O-line to try to get the first, when a Bronco swatted the ball out of his hands!! Great news, except the refs said that forward progression had stopped and called it a dead ball. OSU got the 1st, took a knee and ended a chance for a comeback (Boise was only down 2 or 3, and with the Bronco's explosive offense, there very well could have been a comeback!) But the most amazing thing was the coach led his players to the locker room with class as he did not allow them to linger and argue the call, but gathered them and took them off the field. It was almost like he understood that it was pointless to try and fight the Pac-10.
Was this the case and BSU effectively got "homered" by the Pac-10?
I just want to know what Boise fans felt about the call that could have possibly denied them an undefeated season.
If my facts are wrong, I would appreciate someone refreshing my memory.
