It would seem that everyone who watched the top five showdown between Notre Dame and Florida State has a strong opinion about the pass interference penalty that took Everett Golson's touchdown pass to Corey Robinson off the board in the game's final seconds, sealing FSU's 31-27 victory. This includes the 42nd President of the United States, William Jefferson Clinton.

Just met Bill Clinton. He said "The ND-FSU game evoked an emotion in me that I never expected. Sympathy for Notre Dame. Terrible call" — Tom Mendoza (@TomMendozaTalks) October 23, 2014



Clinton's objections notwithstanding, NCAA officials defended the call, saying "You can see that the widest receiver and the split end both block down on defenders, allowing No. 88 to cut off those blocks and catch the pass for the apparent touchdown. So this is correctly called as offensive pass interference and the penalty was correctly enforced to erase the touchdown."
