Refs reportedly blew a call to help Houston survive massive Tulsa upset bid

Referees apparently screwed the underdog again.

Tulsa was seconds away from either forcing overtime or taking the lead, depending on what they would have opted had they scored in the final seconds against No. 13 Houston.

A second-and-goal pass play led led to the Cougs stopping Tulsa inches away from the goal line with no timeouts remaining, as Houston held on, 38-31.

But what was ruled a game-saving first-down play, might not have been legal:

As if that's not frustrating enough for Tulsa, they could have won it seconds earlier if not for a major miscue.

Regardless, the Golden Hurricanes may have deserved another shot from in close if not for a handful of massive missed calls in the final seconds.
