What they don't tell you about the 17-17 tie that prevented an SMU 'title', is that SMU gained that tie on the strength of a call so atrocious that it's still used to teach referees what is and what is not pass interference.
Also what the show failed to mention in the show was this was "the game" that lead to Arkansas seriously looking to leave the SWC. Not only was there the bogus PI call that put SMU in a position to kick the FG to tie there was also a failure to call roughing the kicker against Arkansas. The PI call was made by on Horton Nestra. He was also the official who failed to call an SMU player down on throw back lateral kick return against TT. Had he call him down as he was SMU would have lost that game. It was always hinted that Nestra was in the pocket of SMU boosters.
