There is some controversy remaining about a call made by the referees. In the final seconds of the game, the score was tied 14-14 with Severn moving in to score. Severn’s throw for the corner of the end zone was well covered by cornerback Danny Schall and appeared to be intercepted. However, the referees ruled it a touchdown for Severn.

“I was speechless. It was rigged. Danny caught it in the back of the end zone. One ref called the pass incomplete. The other called it a touchdown, and it was ultimately ruled a touchdown. If I was [Danny], I’d be mad knowing something was taken from me like that,” wide receiver Jack Golumbek said.
