THE STORY
In the 2006 NCAA football game between the Oregon Ducks and the Oklahoma Sooners, Oregon scored two touchdowns in the final 1:12 to win 34-33. A controversial onside kick was awarded to Oregon despite evidence it was touched by a Ducks player before traveling 10 yards, and an Oklahoma player recovered the ball. The Pac-10 Conference suspended the officiating crew for one game after reviewing the errors.
