Ole Miss AD Wants 'Full Explanation' from Refs After Controversial Loss to Cal

Ole Miss interim athletic director Keith Carter wants answers after his Rebels suffered a controversial 28-20 loss to the California Golden Bears on Saturday.

Trailing by eight with 17 seconds remaining and facing a 3rd-and-goal from the 3-yard line, Rebels quarterback John Rhys Plumlee completed a pass to an open Elijah Moore at the goal line. Though he caught the ball with two feet in the end zone, the officiating crew ruled the ball did not break the plane and placed the ball at the 1-yard line.

Ole Miss did not have any timeouts remaining, meaning it had to hope the replay center triggered a review before time expired.
