The 4th down play was a complete defensive breakdown I thought. He evaded 3 d-linemen by simply changing directions
Just watched the game on tv, was hard to tell in person, but Will McDonald was being held all game.
The ISU D was being held all game.
I don't blame Texas either. If the refs are too dumb/biased to call holding, just keep doing it.
I think the best thing about yesterday is apparently that Campbell tells his kickers a joke before they go out there. How cute is that? How much of a Dad thing is that? Does that make me love Campbell more? Yes.
The way Assalley murdered that last kick he would have had the distance on that one as well. He still hit it really high.
Agreed. That may have been the best O-line play in a decade or more here. Think back to last year when we got abused in the trenches. And this year our OL mauled Texas’ DL.
I know it was blown dead but that was a weird missed kick - almost didn’t get it there...
Normally, the play continues when the defense is offside? "In the case of an offside foul, play is not stopped, and the foul is announced at the conclusion of the play."
It looked to me it was wide right. Not sure if that was affected by interruption of snap-hold-kick rhythm when it was whistled.
Valid observation. I didn't consider that ... maybe there's nuance to how that's assessed(?) I'm not the person to ask, for sure.
If there's contact, it kills the play immediately. The first kick never happened.
NO pressure. It is open season when teams want to pass on us. Our feeble attempts from the guy who comes late from the far side, and is never a factor in the play. Our prevent D is a disaster. If we are going to a prevent D, why not drop 11, and let the guy have all day + some. Our 3 guys NEVER put any pressure on the QB.
Can't agree with this necessarily. I felt our coaching was poor at the end of the first half. Calling timeouts and leaving Tejas almost a minute after we kicked our field goal was a huge error. I knew our 10 - 0 lead would become 10 - 3 or 10 - 7 before halftime, and sure enough. There was no reason to leave all that time on the clock. Then play prevent, let 'em catch it, then tackle. We called two timeouts in the final 90 seconds and that mistake allowed Tejas enough time to score.
I love our staff's enthusiasm, dedication, recruiting and teaching skills. But I think in-game coaching is where they are still learning. Improvement there will get us beyond these near misses.
The play was blown dead, so there was either contact by a Texas player or the UT movement caused an ISU player to move. Both have the same result.
Because the play didn't happen, there is no option to take the result of the play or the penalty.
