1981 Egg Bowl. State kicks a FG to take a 17-14 lead with less than a minute left. OM gets the kick-off, completes a pass to around the State 40. Next play, State picks off the pass in the end zone to preserve the win. But wait....no..
The official (Dick Pace was his name) has thrown a flag for pass interference. Ball is placed at the one. Next play Fourcade scores for OM to get the win 21-17. Interference call was bogus. Replays show the DB and WR basically running side by side and the DB jumping up to catch the ball for the Interception. Of course, nowadays, it would be a 15 yard penalty, the ball would have been at the 25 yard line with about 15 seconds left. OM would have had a decision to make, kick a FG to tie or possibly take one shot at the end zone for the win since this was pre overtime days.
