The Rams were down 7-0 in the first quarter when Jasen Oden Jr. fumbled on San Diego State’s goal line. Or did he?
“I’ll leave it to the officials to make that call,” Oden said. “Unfortunately, I thought I did (break the plane).”
On CSU’s first drive of the game, the Rams marched down to SDSU’s 1-yard line, thanks mostly to the power running of Oden Jr. However, he coughed the ball up on a controversial play.
A television timeout created some confusion, as referees did not get around to reviewing the play until afterwards. Replays shown in the stadium appeared to show Oden clearly breaking the plane with possession of the ball.
