Referee Fumbles Away Colorado's Final Chance to Tie the Game Against Hawaii

Referee Fumbles Away Colorado's Final Chance to Tie the Game Against Hawaii

College football season is just one day old, but we already have a controversy to report from the opening night of festivities.

Colorado trailed Hawaii 28-20, but was driving to try to tie things up in the game's closing moments. The Buffaloes had the ball inside the 10 with 12 seconds or so remaining, which should have been plenty of time for them to get set, spike the ball and have one final shot at the end zone.

But due to incompetence by the referees, time expired, and they never got that one last chance.
