Ok I think I got it. WSU only plays 1 game per year at Qwest Field, so this really should be pretty easy. Also I was mistaken about the "goal-line stand." The offence is going the other way. Looks like the Cougars are playing D (white helmets, dark jerseys... they're red but you can't see it) and their opponents, in white jerseys, are on offence with their backs up against the wall. In the game recap for 9/11/04, WSU v. CO (game ended at 3:37pm), it says "Colorado made a late goal line stand." So Colorado stopped WSU on the goal line, which probably happened on the previous play to the GE shot, giving Colorado the ball on their own 3 yard line. I'd say 1st or 2nd down, 4th quarter.
In fact, I just looked at the game tracker. With 17 seconds left in the game, WSU was trying to score and get a 2 point conversion to tie it. WSU had the ball at the 5 yard line, second and goal, and... rush up the middle... FUMBLE! CO recovers. So the next play (the last play of the game), when CO has the ball, about to rush up the middle to run the clock out, could be the GE shot.
Fact: CO had the ball on the 2 yrd. line on the last play of the game. (fits)
Fact: CO defended the north goal in the second half. (fits)
Fact: Game started at 12:30 (fits with the shadows)
But... why isn't the crowd filling the aisles to leave?
Answer: "football game which will be followed by activities and by Cougar Night at Safeco Feild". They're chilling cause their ticket is good for a whole day's worth or college yip-yip.
So, I give you: Cougars Fall To Colorado 20-12, Sept. 11, 2004 . GE shot of Seattle: 3:36pm, September 11th, 2004!
