Sugar Bowl Umpire

[Bob M.]

REPLY: I noticed him on the fumble that ended LSU's first series down near OU's goal line. I almost expected him to come up dancing with the ball held over his head. But seriously, I thought that he did a fabulous job. He was as active in the fourth quarter as he was in the first--talking to players, getting to the pile, separating players who had extracurricular activity in mind, etc. Very good preventive officiating. Actually, the whole crew did a very commendable job IMHO, even the LJ who resorted to almost dragging Stoops off the field to keep him from getting a flag!
