What a great game! But way too close for comfort.
correction, 2003 Orange Bowl
Did anyone else see Will Andrew #51 held by two ASU players on the kickoff that went all the way for a touchdown. I couldn't believe my eyes, the two ASU players dragged him 5 yards out of bounds and burried him. The ref on that side of the field went over to break up it up leaving the field of play while the the kick off was being run back for a T.D. I couldn't believe there was no flag either for the holding or personal foul. The Pac 10 Refs are horrible.
