Tire/tube question

Trying to reach a conclusion on my blowout.
The tire is a 700c x35. The tube in it was 28x1. What I'm wondering is if the tube being so big blew the tire off of the rim. That's exactly what I think happened. I just aired the tire up to 80psi. (tire is 85 max.) Then I took off and it blew. Tire is fine. Tire was also over the edge of the rim after it blew. The split in the tube was 15" long. Am I right? What do you think? I'm going to check the rear tomorrow and see what tube is in it.
