Home finale again has West Virginia fans feeling officially frustrated

COMMENTARY

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — One of these years, West Virginia fans will file out of Milan Puskar Stadium after the final home game of the season without cursing a critical officiating decision.

Good luck guessing when.

For the second straight season, the WVU home finale was marred by a controversial call benefiting a team from Oklahoma.

Though neither one directly changed the outcome of the game – plenty of time remained in both instances to overcome the calls – there’s no disputing that each robbed the Mountaineers of golden scoring opportunities.
