Ref Calls Decided One-Point Game | Colorado Buffaloes Football News

Colorado edged Georgia Tech 14-13 in a game that turned into a firestorm over controversial officiating calls. Early on, a fumble return was nullified after officials ruled forward progress stopped — sparking debate over whether replay should’ve intervened. Later, a fumble by Colorado’s Julian Lewis was initially called a fumble but reversed to incomplete after replay, with former Super Bowl ref Terry McAulay arguing it looked like a backward pass, making it a live ball. McAulay emphasized that initial rulings dictate what replay can review — and even if Georgia Tech recovered the ball, they’d’ve gotten possession, not a touchdown. The game’s one-point margin made every call feel seismic, especially since McAulay had previously questioned officiating in last year’s matchup between these teams. Colorado held on thanks to a late drive and a buzzer-beating blocked field goal. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
