Boise State took a 14-7 lead over Oregon in the second quarter of their game on Saturday. The touchdown occurred on a 38-yard catch-and-run by Sire Gaines, which took place one play after Oregon receiver Evan Stewart muffed a punt. Officials did not penalize Boise State on the play despite Jameson Perry appearing to enter the restricted area surrounding Stewart while the ball was in the air. Under NCAA rules, a player must be given an unimpeded opportunity to catch a kick, and entering the space within a receiver's shoulder width constitutes a foul. Because the incident was a judgment call, it was not eligible for review or challenge by the officials. The game remains in progress.
