You had the PI on Najee and there was clear defensive holding on Irv Smith. No flags were thrown and I’m willing to bet we wouldn’t have seen any if Ridley hadn’t caught that ball.

That whole play still gives me a panic attack.

I still get pissed about the Clemson game the year before. Even with our lack of a productive offense we'd probably have won that game had not Clemson receivers been pushing off half the night, let alone getting away with the pick on the next to last td. Not as sure about that last one.

Should have said "Clemson receivers getting away with pushing off". They ran 99 offensive plays and if I remember correctly, there wasn't a single call against them.

Meh, I bet it would have been called if Ridley hadn't caught the ball. The refs' eyes would have followed the ball past Ridley if he hadn't caught it. It's also possible they saw the PI and would have called it if the ball hadn't been caught for a TD almost simultaneously.

But, it's possible it might not have been called. Glad we didn't have to find out.
