I was telling my daughter that should be a. Fumble and the announcers were not saying anything about it.

There are so many ****** calls that go unnoticed by television crews it makes me wonder if they're told to not draw more attention than necessary to officials.

This conference has a serious problem with its football officials and this call is just one of many on a list of horrendous, game changing calls.

Not exactly sure.
Apparently an illegal snap is when the center lifts or moves the ball forward. I complained about this at home in our game with Baylor. The center would lineup and the rest of the line would fill in, then the center would literally move the ball forward a foot to half a yard to have it stationed normally. He did it constantly, I thought it was illegal, but it was never called. Turned out I was right, but it still was never called.

The 'specialist' rules commentator tried to explain it was a fumble, but it appeared he, too, was cut off. On another note: I wouldn't want ISU (the alleged victim of the most incorrect calls) going to Tech the next weekend. I can see a blown call going Tech's way this weekend.

I didn't notice BU center doing that. Clearly a no-no. If he got away with doing it multiple times, that's lazy officiating.

I played center one year (hated it since I hit myself in the nads nonstop) for seventh grade and the official warned me of doing what their center did. I always watch that now. I refused to play it ever again.

Not sure it works that way. I don't EVER remember us getting a "make-up call" in football no matter how bad we got screwed the week before.

Probably wanted the yard back that the line judge shorted em on the previous play

What I saw:

The Baylor center obviously thought his QB was "under center" (rather than in shotgun) and hiked the ball accordingly. It hit his butt and since the QB wasn't there to receive it, dropped to the ground where it was recovered by TT as the center backed up to pass block.

Horrible call, almost as bad as the reversed pass interference calls involving Lazard in the Kansas State game...almost...

Of course, both putrid calls cost the deserving team a victory...
