Screwed in Morgantown

[SolarGarlic]

Agree with this except the first one...toe never touched. It's an optical illusion when you look at it from the side, but the into the end zone view was clear that it didn't come close to touching.

I can't believe so many are griping about the spot on Purdy as it was clear to me he was short with his knee down well before the sticks and the ball was not across.

I kinda felt the same about the Purdy play. He was down inbounds maybe a half yard shy of the sticks. They marked it where his knee went down and not where the ball was.

You're spot on about the first point. Watch it in real speed, and it's still obvious. I was absolutely dumbfounded and irate when that play was not overturned.

the purdy play I can't tell if his knee actually went down -- there are people who obstruct the view of the left knee for the two angles they showed on tv

it looks like the knee could have went down but then he ends up lunging which seems awkward if your knee actually hit the ground

would have been nice if they could review and if there were other angles

all the isu people on the sideline seemed convinced that he made it (as they had a good angle) but you probably have to take that with a grain of salt lol

Specifically it's "I'm not going to be the guy that blames the refs for anything at all costs" guy.

I have said in many threads that I 100% agree ISU didn't play their best football yesterday, especially on the defensive side. I'm just tired of people blowing off the bad calls by saying "we didn't play well enough to win", because that's a flat out lie - we played well enough to win yesterday, and probably pretty comfortably, if the refs did the job that they were paid to do instead of whatever that ****show was yesterday.

i didn’t mention officiating as reason for the other losses, even though I do think Iowa got away with a lot of holding.

prior to this our worst officiating this year was in wins.

It’s just crazy obvious n this one, the game can’t be analyzed without it.

The Big 12 defensive POY wasn’t on the field. What were people expecting?

They hadn't scored over 30 points all season except when they played Long Island. They only scored 29 against TCU, 20 against TT, and 24 against Maryland, all schools with god awful defenses. I don't know, for us to not be absolutely awful with one guy missing when the backups have played a lot this year and played well?

The Dline was pretty bad/pedestrian yesterday. Caught inside often, looked out of alignment, etc.

Beyond a weird game.

For whatever reason, we are usually much worse than a person would think when a key player is out. How awful have we looked without Kolar for 2 straight years? Same thing with Rose. I'm not sure why that is, but didn't surprise me that we looked worse than you would have thought.

Worse is reasonable. Expected, really.

All out of sorts on all 3 levels was not.

And agreed on looking bad without one or two players. Kolar being out doesn't mean there can't be some urgency and rhythm.

Much like losing to Iowa, it's better to just expect this to happen. It's a mystery why it happens and I have faith that the coaches are trying to fix it.

 

[BCClone]

That is was damn close. Ref was in position. standing right there. The foot may be a few inches above the ground, but cby no means the worst call ive ever seen. not even close.

refs were bad though. Worst crew ive ever seen, especially the line judge.
It was obvious they'd never worked together before.

ISU is a tough out for anyone. Wish the game had been called clean--it wasnt. But WVU arguably had a 14 point turnaround on the ridiculous OPI call.

Good luck the rest of the way. BEAT the Traitors.

That’s a foot off the ground, not inches.

Mike Rose, Big 12 defensive POY, is just “one guy?”

Well if he's out for longer and the defense continues to get gashed I guess we can comfortably question the talent level at ISU?

Because that was basically ISU's 2013 defense out there yesterday.

 

[nrg4isu]

JD was 4-4 on deep balls (one was called back for a really bad OPI call). That's the biggest story of the day against our defense. Our D is built on NOT letting opposition even attempting the deep ball. With 3 safeties, a QB should never be expecting his guy to get singled deep.

Crazy thing is, our guy was there all 4 times, but unfortunately #2 is a Paul Rhoads type CB and is just too short to compete if the WR goes up high. The other time was the double with sheem and eisworth. Sheem was a second late and eisworth didn't do too much over the top.

They took the top off of our D and that kept us on our heels all game.

Yes, pass rush was a problem too, but when you rush 3, you better cover. Game plan didn't work out and like the rest of the game, the 50/50 chances rarely went our way

Big 12 Football Week Nine: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

It was another wild weekend in the Big 12 from the off-field news to the on-field play. There was plenty of excitement on Saturday and I will break it all down here for you as I share the good, bad, and ugly from week nine in the Big 12. The Good Baylor (Beat Texas 31-24) Despite Gerry […]

oh man. Thats some bs. I feel a little better now. I guess.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

Aside from the missed penalty, the defense really broke down on this play. We dropped 8 to cover 5, and 4 of the receivers were well open: the post for the TD, the flag to the top, and 2 under routes for the first down.

It's amazing how many times the secondary has been beat over the top this year when we have dropped 8. With that type of coverage, you will concede some underneath routes but getting beat deep is just bad bad defense.

Not only dropping 8 but our apparent insistence on giving 10 yards of cushion. How we can consistently give up a 9 yard dig or out route and still get beat over the topic confounds me.

 

[mj4cy]

Didn’t deserve this one even though we got hosed mostly on the out of bounds TD for WVU. His foot wasn’t close to touching.

Refs had some horrific calls but our defense put us in a position where we didn't have room for bad calls.

 

[Clonefan32]

The whole replay system needs overhauled. The idea that you have to make a call and then find irrefutable evidence to overturn it is absolutely silly. Take Breece's touchdown for example. You have one signal touchdown and the other signal fumble. To me, that makes it clear you have no real clue what actually happened. So what's the value in sitting there and making up a call on the field that becomes the presumption when it's obvious you just don't know? What would be wrong with a system where they just don't make a call, go to the monitor and decide what most likely happened?

I think that's where my frustration lies more than anything. Making up a call and then looking at the monitor to see if there is one iota of evidence that can be relied on to justify the call is not the way to do it.
