The referee even messed up the overtime coin toss! He correctly instructed the teams (and the tv audience) how the coin toss would work. The winner could choose offense first or defense first. Then the other team could choose which side of the field they would play on.
Oregon won the toss and chose defense. Then the referee asked Stanford if they wanted the ball. It doesn't matter if they wanted it or not! Stanford was going to be on offense first. The referee had just told them less than a minute earlier that their only decision was the side of the field to play on. Eventually, he straightened things out. Not a very good game for this crew.
