The game wasn’t without some controversy. Toward the end of the third quarter, the referees called a pass interference flag that negated a Texas interception.
Upset with the decision, Texas fans began throwing water bottles onto the field. During the delay, the officiating crew discussed the penalty and ruled it wasn’t a pass interference. Texas scored two plays later.
