Just saw a clip of the infamous 5th down game when Colorado spiked it on 1st down, ran two run plays, on 4th down spiked it again which fooled everyone and the Buffs scored on 5th down. It was against Missouri. Hilariously, Mizzou's fans stormed the field thinking they'd gotten the stop on 5th down, started tearing down the goal posts even though apparently no one caught the refs glaring mistake.
Reading the rest of the story now, Missouri fans, some at least knew immediately that the extra down was awarded and were storming the field because they were mad. Some had violence on the mind and tried to take out a Colorado player but instead hit a cop, big oops. That Colorado player had told his coach it was third down even though the down marker said 2nd down and McCartney told him to "shut up and just play football".
- Big 8 suspended 7 officials for the error but said they could not change the outcome of the game.
