With just over a minute to play, trailing 15-10, quarterback Tim Couch appeared to complete a 3-yard pass to wide receiver Quincy Morgan, good enough for a first down.

Unable to control the crowd and stop the debris from being thrown, officials decided to cancel the rest of the game, and with 48 seconds remaining, the clock was run down to zero.
