One missed officiating call was all it took to put an end to Ole Miss's historic 2025 season and crushed their legitimate chance at being the National Champions.
Analysts and insiders alike called out the terrible officiating on Trinidad Chambliss' Hail Mary to De’Zhaun Stribling, which deflected off his left hand. There was a lot of jockeying and contact on the play, but officials let it go. From the clips going viral, it appeared that the defender had a hold of Stribling's collar, which should have cost the Canes a DPI.
Even after a heartbreaking 31-27 loss like that, Pete Golding continues to win hearts.
