We didn’t get some calls, but the officials didn’t cause the lack of effort and execution by some of our players. For some reason our team was not fired up and ready to play this game. The coaches couldn’t make the adjustments to light a fire under this team. With a few exceptions our A players did not bring their A game.

Refs doubled down. Next to that Super Bowl call … was it NO or Seattle can’t recall. This is most ref jaded game I’ve seen.

Yet people will blame Manning.

Some **** hole on here is blaming Purdy.

one real big **** hole is reveling in the fact that the seniors came back and have lost 3 games.

this board is full of real ********.

90% of you better not ******* ***** when Campbell goes to Penn state.
Games like this are the only thing I worry about influencing Campbell wanting to leave.

If you get repeatedly screwed in the close ones, and it is a constant bias, there is incentive to go to a big enough school that always gets the benefit in close calls.

I don’t like to complain about officials, because I know they are regular, normal people. And they usually suck at their job. Like their regular job and their officiating job. I mean it’s hard to suck at so many things. That’s a lot of suck. So I just expect to be disappointed in pretty much anything they do. But holy hell, did they win the suck job today. I’m impressed by how much they suck.

I 100% get the argument that ISU should have played better today, especially defensively - but it also would have looked a lot better had the refs not gifted 14 points to WV and stolen 7 from us. I 100% agree we didn't play well today. But the calls that went against us the last two weeks, I'm just so done with these refs.
Agree. We played well enough to win the game. Not perfect, but with neutral officiating I fully believe that's a W.

Should have prioritized going out of bounds on that second-to-last play, rather than stretching for a first down. What a depressing way to end that game.

we probably won’t get a bowl game.

Unless the veterans just call it a career we will. And I'm not too upset about that. Hard to take with the high expectations. But I'll take high expectations every August over "who the heck are we going to beat" every day and twice on Sunday.
