Opinions on that INT

[demoncore1031]

Definitely looked like an INT other than the one and only time they showed it from the other angle, which makes no sense because that was the best angle. It looked like the DB didn't actual have control of the ball.

Either way, bad throw by Zeb.

Can't intercept it if you don't have your hands on the ball

From that angle, it looked pretty sketchy relative to an INT.

Bad throw, questionable call to throw the fade to the far corner after just throwing a fade the other way, but either way it was well underthrown. Tough to put that all on Zeb's shoulders as that's not an easy throw, maybe a back shoulder thing or attack the middle with the slot receiver? Not an OC but I think it's asking quite a bit of a young QB in a high pressure situation.

The INT call was probably correct, I think Murdock had a hand on it but no shared possession until he took it away when they were on the ground.

The real travesty of that drive was the lack of calls on OSU's secondary that looked veeeeery similar to what we were called for twice on the 2 point conversion.

I don't get how they confirmed it. I get not being able to overturn it, but confirmed? Honestly, that ball moved alot on the way down. I think they should of just called it incomplete and let the players decide the game.

Also, I agree, Zeb should not of thrown that pass.

 

[ItsCyence]

Pass should not have been thrown. Once it was called an INT there was no way they would overturn it.

First off, it was PA or holding. Defender didn’t allow him to make a complete attempt at the ball as he held down his arm. Second, it was a touchdown.

Lol show the still frame when he's flat on his back with the ball.

There's legit gripe with the noncalls the previous plays, that was the correct call

Murdock might have a hand on it, but when the rest of the ball is completely surrounded by the rest of the defender its hard to overturn a call.

Not to mention this is a snapshot of a second or two long catch and fall to the ground.

 

[runbikeswim]

To me it should have been an incomplete pass.

 

[sdcyfan]

Incompletion at worst. Nobody completed the catch until both were out of bounds. Horrible.

One still shot is never going to tell the whole story.

How many years of high level refereeing experience do you have?

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

Bad play call in my opinion. The horse collar was more egregious. If dm goes down we would have gotten the call.

 

[19clone91]

No matter what they ruled, the refs were screwed. That is just one of those crazy plays that doesnt follow any of the rules technically. Whatever they called on the field would stand and I would argue that the defensive player had more possession than Murdock throughout the entirety of the "catch" . And it doesn't help that the defender got to the ball first.

Im sure the refs were hoping deep down that they could somehow call that an incomplete pass but it never hit the ground so they couldn't say that.

 

[CySmurf]

Correct call or not, it sure would be nice for the Cyclones to get one of those close calls at the juncture in the game sometimes.

That was never going to be called incomplete - not when two players are fighting over clear possession.

 

[Gunnerclone]

I thought that told a good one though because that sure as **** wasn’t a no doubt int like some are some saying. That wasn’t just a “wr gets beat and rips the ball from the Db after they hit the ground and pretend like he had it the whole time” play.

Now I’m even more pissed. Clearly we had at least a tie up, which is touchdown Iowa State. No way that “call confirmed” was anything other than ass covering.

 

[MrApathy]

dual possession is suppose to favor the offense

that was a touchdown
