Pac-12 officiating crews were heavily criticized last week following a series of questionable decisions in key moments, but according Pac-12 vice president of officiating David Coleman, the two most controversial calls were handled correctly.
Oregon’s game-winning touchdown against Arizona State
The first controversial call occurred in the third overtime of Oregon’s 61-55 win against Arizona State Thursday night. Oregon quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. hit Bralon Addison for a 20-yard touchdown, which turned out to be the game-winning score. On first glance it seemed pretty clear Addison’s left foot was the first to make contact with the ground and his toe was out of bounds, however, in an interview with ESPN.
