This New York Times article puts the end of the game question to bed.
“A day after a wild, lateral-filled ending to the Alamo Bowl, David Parry, the N.C.A.A.’s national coordinator for officiating, said that the officials should have thrown flags because Michigan and Nebraska had too many players on the field as the final play unfolded.
Nevertheless, Parry said, the mistake did not affect the outcome of the game, because the penalties by each team would have offset each other, and because time had expired.”
Man i went to the game it was sweet!!! GO BIG RED!!! U know what gets me really mad is that everyone is saying that the texas team that won the national championship this year(the refs favored them greatly) is the best college football team ever. What about the Nebraska team from 1995 i mean hello no one even came close to challenging them. Who do yall think is a better QB Vince Young or the great Tommy Frazer?? And this next season is ours have you seen the commitments Calhan has gotten theyre awsome!

I happen to know you’re a Northwestern fan smart guy, so I believe the correct terminology is, “Go Purple.”
