Orr failed to signal touchdown, however, instead waving the other officials over for a conference. Renfro said nearly a minute passed and there was still no decision. After conferring with the other officials, Orr ruled Renfro had both feet inbounds but didn't have possession. Following the game, some of the Steelers acted as if the win was tainted. To this day Pastorini still remains haunted by the play, as well as the one immediately after it, when he failed to see a wide open receiver on the other side of the end zone.
Nobody can say for sure.
If we would have tied the score our defense would've played differently and strategy would have changed. I know we would've had a heck of a shot. Vanderbilt Coach Woody Widenhofer, defensive coordinator for the Steelers at the time, said Orr not only made the right call, but it probably wouldn't have mattered either way. Even if they would've scored I felt we would've won that game anyway. We were pretty good.
