Yes, the interception call was ugly too.

But the big calls went to Texas.....the refs gave Texas a 1st down with 2 minutes left when it should have been 4th and 5....did you ever see the 'facemask' play on replay? I did not.....just a little thin, IMho.

You weren't watching close enough then. They replayed it and it was clear, and it should have been a 15 yarder since the defender held on.

Since when do they call a puch down late hit on a QB in college football? Did you watch the Louisville game the other day? Man that dide had a broken nose and keep getting drilled after he threw the ball and they never called any latehits!

And yes I saw a face mask on that play. A similar one was called against Texas.

Texas consistently gets extremely lucky calls (e.g., Kansas a couple of years ago, vs A&M this year, the Rose Bowl, etc.). The false TD forever taints this win.

However, the facemask was there.

Of course, their DBs got away with murder all night. The spearing and other cheap shots were near criminal and should have resulted in player ejections.

On the other hand, I like it when Florida State does the same thing.

They did show it and it should have be 15 yards for a flagrant foul.
