Utah won by 3.

Even without two-point conversion, they come out on top.

Although, in a universe of constant flux, one change precipitates an entire chain reaction of changes and there's no telling what different decisions, calls, etc. would have happened had that call been reversed, nevertheless if you want to pin the game's outcome on a single call, at least make it a call that makes the numbers add up.

(similar scenario with the byu and washington - if washington hits the PAT, they still have to go to overtime. Commentators were acting like Washington was robbed of the win. bad math all around.)

Shows how much you know, ZOhio. The 2 pt. conversion tied the game. Sheesh.

You don't call face mask in that situation.

If Utah misses the 2 point attempt, Utah is forced to onsides kick the ball and if they don't get it, OSU runs out the clock.

Utah had 2 time outs...they would've got the ball back, and BJ would not have overthrown his receiver on the long ball. In fact, he probably would've thrown it to Aiona Key and he would've caught it easily.

how many "should have been picked offs" were there in that game. I can think of 2 off the top of my head. The out on the sidelines towards the end. And one of the long ducks that fell in the middle of three OSU players.

Maybe even Tafuna can intercept Brian Johnson.

The ref deemed it catchable....

I thought it was a good call on the PI. It would have been a heck of a catch, but i think a catch was possible. I am no Ute fan, but I think the call was good. I would have been pissed if BYU had that same play and it was not called. That being said, Hall would have thrown a better ball

They don't teach math in Emery County. The morons.

If Utah didn't get the refs cheating on their behalf, then Oregon State would have received the ball with a minute or so left up by two. Utah only had one time out. OSU sits on the ball and they win.
