NT vs. UT - late 80's?

[NCMeanGreen]

I was watching game footage of the NT vs. UT game, in the late 80's I believe, and there was a questionable passing TD. The UT QB threw it to the right back corner of the endzone, and it looked like the UT receiver layed out to catch the ball but caught it out of the back of the endzone.

Did anyone watch that game? Was that receiver actually in bounds??? Looks like that play would have been a good candidiate for "instant" replay.

Anyone know the truth???

It was not a TD

That night in Austin even the Sportscasters said as much

Didn't we beat this subject into the ground a few months ago?

The NBC affiliate in Austin had the best view from the back of the endzone and was the defining Zapruder film for this incident. Cash dove after a ball that was sailing out of the endzone, had both hands on it as his knees and feet left the endzone, and had the ball aimlessly rolling out in front of him when he got to the ground.

You can see Cash looking frustrated by the missed opportunity directly before the official signals touchdown.

Cash later admitted that he didn't think it was a touchdown, but he certainly wasn't going to argue with the referee.

It was one of two very questionable touchdown receptions by UT that evening.

Oh well, mistakes happen. They just look really fishy when those mistakes happen during possibly the only game in history that UT wasn't penalized a single time during play. (UT had received a dead-ball unsportsmanlike conduct penalty)

Here's the footage you are looking for ....

Notice the announcers comments at the end stating that 2 calls wents against us. I was at that game with a bunch of fraternity brothers (Sig Eps) and we couldn't believe what we just witnessed.
