re: Worst Late Season Collapse From Your School

If I’m not mistaken, State controlled their own destiny going into the last two games and then proceeded to lose both of them. That Arkansas game in the sleet was brutal. Hadn’t lost a home game in three years and then proceeded to blow a 10 point lead to lose to a then 4-5 Arkansas team. Had multiple field goals blocked or botched if I recall.

Two things I remember from that game, besides the fact it was the coldest I had ever been at a game, including a -20 windchill game.

State guy intercepted the ball and had an easy pick6. Ran several steps with the ball and just ran OOB untouched.

State was lined up to run a play with like 10 or 20 seconds before the half at the 1 or 2 yard line, and the ref stood over the ball the whole time and wouldn't let State run the play, and the clock ran out.

Game went into OT 10-10. Getting either chance would have likely won the game for State.
