Eastern Washington Loses After Blown Field Goal Ruling

Brock Fritz Headshot

The Eastern Washington University football team appeared to kick a go-ahead 24-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game at Idaho.

However, the referee appeared to be adjusting his mask and mistakenly interpreted the ball deflecting off the scoreboard as hitting the uprights. The kick was incorrectly ruled a missed field goal and the game remained tied at 21 with 11:01 remaining. Idaho quarterback Mike Beaudry eventually threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Hayden Hatten with 54 seconds remaining as the Vandals claimed a 28-21 win in the season opener for both teams.
