Episode 38: The Fifth Down Game (Colorado vs Missouri 1990)
Welcome back to GenX Classic Sports. Today, we’re heading back to 1990 — a year of mullets, the Walkman, and Bill McCartney’s Colorado Buffaloes trying to climb their way to college football’s mountaintop.
But what happened one gray afternoon in Columbia, Missouri… would become one of the strangest and most controversial finishes in college football history.
It’s the day college football literally forgot how to count — the day Colorado was given a fifth down.
