Maybe the biggest in college football history. I was there.

Per Wikipedia:
The Fifth Down Game was a college football game that included a play that the crew officiating the game permitted to occur in error. That play enabled the Colorado Buffaloes to defeat the Missouri Tigers by scoring a touchdown on the last play of their game on October 6, 1990. The ensuing controversy cast doubt on Colorado's claim to Division I-A's 1990 national championship, which it shares with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. It has been called one of the top memorable moments and blunders in college football history.

Worth repeating for our Athens friends who pretend to believe GT's claim to 1990 is dubious. Not even close.

5th Down and would add the Flea Kicker vs NU in 97. Funny how Mizzou crazy finishes lead to the other teams National Titles.
