Rewatched, Purdy's knee did appear to be down, but the ball was right near the first down marker, not even close to where they spotted it.
Wouldn’t probably have mattered. Still had a long way to go with 14 seconds due to **** for brains clock management. Took over a minute off the clock on a 3 yard check doen and 4 yard run.

Pissed as ever and completely agree the officiating was one sided and terrible. The offensive PI that turned into our pick 6 was the one call that seemed to go in our favor and it seemed the refs were trying to make up for it the entire second half.

Serious question though as I have seen this accusation multiple times: Why would the B12 want this game rigged in favor of WVU? I hate B12 refs as much as anyone, but I don’t see this one.

Pretty much eliminates us from playing in Dallas.

I don't even know where to start.... but its clear this team, a team full of seniors - does not seem able to be able to play under expectations. They didn't play well till expectations were eased after a 2-2 start.... and then expectations returned ... and we play horribly. This team isn't last years team. I don't know if its the leadership of guys like Jaquan, Dylan and Kene or what.... but we have not looked comfortable at all playing like a favored team. the only time we have looked good is when no one expected us to do much after losing to Baylor and Iowa.

The offensive line, tauted as a strength all off-season? Struggles.

A very deservedly loved coaching staff h as struggled at times to make adjustments.

For all of the love given our strength staff - we have been pushed around in most short yardage situations, especially offensively.



-----

IDK. This is as-disheartened as I've been in some time as a fan - maybe since Campbell took over. More than after Iowa. We were out-athleted, out coached, out executed and worst of all...


we lacked the ability to match their effort. A veteran team and staff with a lot to play for just had a game where really - outside of what - 8 plays (Brock's two scrambles, Hummels pick 6, Breece's two long runs) and maybe 1-2 more were basically owned by West Virginia the entire game.


For all the depth we supposedly have - no one other than Purdy , X and Breece carried the ball. We have no pass rush but we don't rotate any of the younger kids at end even in obvious pass situations where if they aren't ready for 1st and 10 run fits you'd think they could maybe have fresh legs on 3rd and long. We leave Datrone Young out there - love the kid. Glad he's healthy enough to play - but man he was a liability today and not that he was the only one. We randomly decide Corey Dunn's going to punt again - and yes, he had one good one but I still don't understand that logic unless Mevis was hurt -

I don't see us beating Texas - or Oklahoma. And TCU - Tech are not give mes.


And I know i had said a while back I thought Rose was the most important player on the team but for a veteran team there's no way that you can allow that to have such a huge impact on the defense. A young team losing your best player - sure. But not for as veteran a team as Iowa State do I find that to be a valid excuse.



------------------------

Sorry for being Debbie Downer but that was as lifeless and disheartening performance as I have seen in a while. And I just... IDK. All the excitement that this year might finally be the year is gone obviously. And now I'm wondering how long Campbell stays because if this team can't do it... IDK.

I'm going to step away soon because I know I'm in a super negative head space area right now but I do think that there are some valid points in this post so I'll post this and I'll bid all of you a good evening hopefully and an early Happy Halloween

You're the one that brought them up. Have fun watching all these seniors go out against Memphis instead of competing for the Big 12 title like they should have.

No.....I pointed out you are a Hawk so everyone here will hopefully ignore your tripe. And your second sentence is confirmation. Like shooting fish in a bowl.

Because they gamble on games. That, or they listen to the crowd and home sideline and let that determine their decisions. Which means they are ******* cowards. They are Big 12 refs, so they are probably both.

I honestly don't understand why some people think this has to be an "either/or" proposition.

Yes. ISU didn't play well today. Doesn't mean we didn't get worked by the refs.

it isn’t that difficult.

but a large percentage of message board posters don’t understand anything.

You know what should really piss everyone off though?

Jarret Doege WVU
30-46, 370 YDS, 3 TD

Made this pedestrian (and that's being kind) QB look like a fricking top-10 draft pick.

He was also gifted 2 of those TDs - the one where the play clock was at 0 for more than a second before he got the snap, and the one where the receiver's foot never touched the ground before he flew out of bounds.

on Hall’s TD the only way a replay official gives ball to WVU is blindness or fixing a game.
100% conclusively not a fumble.
