The officiating crew deserves a lot of credit for getting it right in real time.

The ruling on the field was that Utah fumbled the ball short of the goal line and Oregon recovered it and returned it for a touchdown. The ruling was confirmed. That makes plenty of sense to me!

[@jakemckeown]

[@Apollo181920]

I remember watching that game. My stepmom is a cougars fan and hates the ducks. When Utah thought they scored she laughed in my face in a very mockingly obnoxious way and as soon as a Oregon started turning around in the other direction, it felt good to give the same treatment back!! 😎 stay classy

I wonder if the 178 total yards the ball traveled (I mean stat yardage, not linear yardage) is a record for one play.

[@tc16169]

That's actually a great question!! 😆 It may very well be! At the very least it's gotta be up there. There are probably some very long INT/fumble returns for TDs and maybe some bizarre plays with multiple fumbles or something that might challenge it maybe. But man... 178 yards on one play is impressive and gonna be tough to beat 😄

I agree but also the final score was 51-27. So it would’ve been 44-34 which would still not have been close.

[@wildmercuryfilms]

@@DDub04 I COMPLETELY disagree with your “logic.” UTAH lost 2 IMMENSELY important things on that ONE PLAY: 1. MOMENTUM: The momentum RADIATES to the entire team: Defense, Offense & Special Teams. If you have THE MOMENTUM, the Final Score is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. The Momentum SWUNG 100% in Oregon’s Favor. 2. PSYCHOLOGICALLY: Having a 2 TOUCHDOWN LEAD, especially for the underdog Utah Team, is IMMENSELY IMPORTANT, and makes everyone FEEL GOOD & PLAY BETTER & HAVE THE CROWD BEHIND YOU.

Third string QB Cardale Jones wins his first 3 games, all of which are elimination games, first the Big 10 championship game to get then into the playoffs, then the Sugar Bowl against ALABAMA to get then to the CFB finals, and finally beating the Ducks led by newly minted Heisman dinner Marcus Mariota. Meanwhile Mariota, while missing out on perhaps the greatest individual season in college football history on account of his team losing in the finals, did manage to hand Jameis Winston his only loss as a college player by blowing out Florida State in the semi final game. And then the very next game they both played was against each on NFL opening day after the two of them were selected 1 and 2 in the draft, when Mariota and the Titans blew out Winston and the Bucs.
