1. On the two point conversion - I think if you have the NFL pass interference review rule then pass interference would be called.
2. Hard to blame Pettiway for not catching the ball with the defenders arm impeding his arms and blocking his vision. Just hard to make a catch with the defender tackling you. If that was the national championship game there would be a call to implement that review in college football (not saying I'm for it).
3. Gotta like CMC's approach. As this program/team matures those situations will flip. The point about Kolar has some merit. As posters have said there were plenty other situations that could have gone our way.
4. The picked up flag at the end of the 2nd quarter was a bigger mistake imo. I think it was catch-able, the announcers talked about receiver falling down but even so the defender impeded the receiver after the receiver got back up and the referee who called it had a great view. That's probably a 14 point shift. Is there a rule that your allowed to interfere if a defender falls down?
5. Be nice to have Real Mitchell close to the goal line, I don't think anybody catches him on a sprint to the corner goal line flag. But its so hard to keep Brock out too so its a tough dilemma.
6. With 10 minutes to go we go for it on a 4th and 20, don't criticize the decision but man those 3 points would be nice.
7. I recognize there were calls in our favor too we were just so damn close!!!
8. I looked at most of the first half and did not see any defenders clapping but I wonder if they weren't yelling cadences, can kind of see some of the defenders bouncing a bit which reminded me of when defensive linemen would yell or howl or bark?
8. Maybe this loss propels this team into a long win streak.... Brock Purdy doesn't deserve another loss as a Cyclone.
9. Gotta Beat Texas!!!
