“I think you might argue that it was the worst call of all time because of what was at stake. It cost Miami a second consecutive national title and ended its 34-game winning streak. It was a call made on the last play of the sport’s most important game. It doesn’t get any bigger than that. But it was also a judgment call and not a miscarriage of the rulebook.”
Schlabach goes on to say that other calls in history have been more egregious because they were wrong interpretations of the rule book, but it still ranks up there. To each his own I guess, but I think Ohio State fans would argue about a different call that happened just this past January as a worse “judgment” call because it was reviewed and still interpreted incorrectly.
Sorry, didn’t mean to bring up bad memories.
