Oklahoma's loss to Oregon wasn't the first time replay official Gordon Riese has been involved in controversy. On Nov. 20, 1982, he was the line judge when California defeated Stanford on arguably the most controversial finish in college football history. Cal won the game on that crazy kickoff return. In 2002, Riese told the San Jose Mercury News he wasn't in position to call an illegal forward lateral because he had been run over by the on-rushing Stanford band.
