Actually, if you recall the 13-9 win, Tomczak was not the issue. The Big East plant to try to get the Hoopies the W and into the National Championship Game was the Back Judge. This is the guy who made both BOGUS holding calls on Odell Turner; one nullified a Shady TD and one nullified a Shady 1st down on a naked pitch that would have enable Pitt to run out the clock. I don't think Tomczak knew the mission of this guy ( until after he watched the film obviously ). The Big East Guido leadership set Tomczak up to look bad.
Come to think of it, the Big East Leadership must have had it in for Odel Turner as they screwed him and Pitt over that same season at Rutgers by calling Offensive Pass Interference on him to take away the game winning TD. The Rutgers DB after the game was quoted as saying " I was surprised. I was sure the penalty was against me ".
