Michigan St. Loses on Badly Blown Call
08 Nov, 2015
Michigan State’s undefeated season is no more after officials awarded a game-winning touchdown to Nebraska’s Brandon Reilly despite the fact the Cornhuskers receiver appeared to go out of bounds on his own before re-entering the field to catch the pass with just seconds remaining in Lincoln.
Officials declared Reilly had been forced out of bounds, though several video angles appear to refute that claim; Michigan State fans, furthermore, argue Reilly committed pass interference in his attempt to catch the pass.
It’s the second week in a row a game was decided by a late-game officiating error that permitted a touchdown; the crew in last week’s Duke-Miami matchup earned a suspension for their blunder.
