Fifth Down
While the Kansas Jayhawks and Illinois Fighting Illini are the chief rivals for the Tigers, perhaps the most infamous game was a loss to conference rival Colorado in 1990. In that game, with the Tigers leading late, the officials lost the down and gave Colorado an extra play, which they scored on to win the game. -
