Mizzou has no one to blame but themselves for Edney....the other two? i'm in Denver, and every once in a while they have McCartney and Charles Johnson on the radio to talk about that 5th down play....and they claim they didn't know....but i think that's BS.

Luckiest MNC team ever. They benefited from the 5th down and a very questionable clip call in the Orange Bowl.

They should show that fatass lineman from Troy burning MU's secondary on a TD run.

I honestly feel bad for Mizzou, but I hate how people (especially back then) act like it was somehow Colorado's fault. The refs fucked up. End of story.

I remember back when it happened, people were actually suggesting that CU should retroactively forfeit the game. :lol: Right. Because I'm sure they would've spiked the ball on 4th down if they knew it was 4th down.

Not that they would've definitely scored the TD, but I think it's safe to say that they wouldn't have spiked it.

Well, I was living in Nebraska at the time, so maybe the whole "CU should forfeit" movement was more of a local thing. The Buffs had recently risen up and smacked NU in the mouth a couple times, so they weren't the most popular team around those parts. It was just such a ridiculous suggestion, as Huskerfan realized firsthand in 97.

he didn't get in on 5th down

refs blew it on 4th and 5th down. he was stopped atleast 5 inches from the goalline. he even tried to reach out after being down and still couldn't get in.
