wasn't any better. It gave them terrific field position on the kick off.

And don't forget the 1986 out of bounds of Williams (which was at ND).

Both of those calls changed a probably changed an ND victory into a loss.

'99 had more bogus calls than just the Brown flag.

That one was absurd, yes, but Anthony Thomas' knee also hit the ground on his "touchdown" run that gave them the final lead.
Agreed

Although the Brown flag was just an awful awful call.

The others, without review, were sort of par for the course. The Brown flag was just a blatant FU to ND.


Bob Davie was just really really bad at these types of games and crunch time end of game situations.
