SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham could barely contain his anger about the officiating following Friday night's 10-3 loss to Washington in the Pac-12 Championship Game.
Much of his ire was directed at a disputed non-call on the Utes' final play of the game.
With less than a minute left, Huskies cornerback Byron Murphy appeared to run into Utah receiver Siaosi Mariner prematurely while breaking up a pass on fourth-and-12 from the Washington 42. But officials didn't throw a flag, and the Huskies burned off the rest of the clock to clinch their first Rose Bowl berth in 17 years.
