I'm sorry, did you not notice we have been doing this pretty much all year with success?
And if we want to try to find where the game was lost, I'll point out the O line being horrible in the 2nd and 3rd to last series.

Was that angle played on TV? If so, what did they say about it? Because that’s a goddamn touchdown.
Chicken or the egg...receivers will eventually get open when the QB is given all day to pass, and a good QB like Rudolf will find them. Somehow ISU needed to get more pressure on the QB. The 3-man rush wasn't working and ISU stubbornly kept doing it.
It looks like the replay refs messed up the INT/TD/Incomplete call at the end. In general, the replay officiating has been dismal in several Big 12 games I've watched over the past few weeks, and the reviews are dragging these game times out to four hours. It is ridiculous.
And if the refs are going to look the other way on the PI/holding of the receivers, then ISU's bigger receivers need to put those smaller DB on their backsides when they start grabbing and holding, and force the officials to make a call. ISU was getting those PI calls earlier in the year. Perhaps it is time for Campbell to light up a few officials during the game, because for whatever reason (likely complaining by other coaches), ISU isn't getting those calls anymore, and it is impacting the games.
In those other games, ISU was getting better pressure on the QB than they were today. Rudolf is also a better QB than ISU has faced recently (apart from Mayfield). You can't give good QBs that kind of time.
Tubby said something like “that’s definitely a block, he should be shooting free throws!!”
But seriously, they agreed it was an INT. But at first look, I did too. I didn’t change my mind until these different views came out and I could watch them frame by frame. Something the replay officials are paid to do...
This can't be stated enough. College football needs some rule changes badly to speed up pace of play.
One of the first changes should be dumping the stop clock on first downs rule. Next should be finding a way for replay to not completely ruin the flow of a game. The third one should make all time outs 30 seconds.
Didn’t they decide to review a play (spot on 3rd down) AFTER a timeout?
It’s not an easy job, but those guys were either in over their heads, or worse...
I wonder if they move to an NFL style of replay. Maybe allow each coach 1 replay per half. Review all TD’s as usual.
It's 2017. The ref shouldn't have to run to a certain spot to put on the headset. Give them a headset like they have in the NFL where they're constantly in contact with Big Brother.
Also, give the refs a closed communication line where the back judge doesn't have to run all the way to the ref just to make a call.
After today and the Texas debacle from a few years ago, Van Vark should never be able to do another ISU game.
The refs were horrible. The fat black dude called the touch on the kick, and then swallowed his whistle when we had the ball near the goal line. On the long touchdown pass, we would have had a sack except the lineman was holding our guy right in front of grandpa ref. I knew we were not going to win when they got three chances on the conversion.
Worse officiated game of the year. Feel bad for the seniors. Is this the best they got for a game among two ranked teams?
This crew sucked ass.
After the game I was talking to a okie fan and he admitted they shouldn’t have won and said the refs gave them the game.

I was just going to post about catches like this. I've seen a couple where the WR pinned it against the DBs back for a TD.
Murdock did the same thing against the guy's chest.
I hope Van Vark’s house gets hit by a cyclone. Doesn’t he live in Pella? I hope someone at least ***** on his doorsteps

Clearly shows a touchdown, in fact the defenders hand comes off the ball as he hits the ground. Ruling on the field should have been a touchdown by ref standing there. He waits until the action out of bounds occurs to make his ruling.
I e come to realize “irrefutable evidence” is a term they put in reviews as a cop out for officials. Get rid of that **** and tell them to make the right call. The whole point is to get it right so get it as close to right as you can with the evidence you have. Of course that doesn’t fix today as they confirmed the call which is patently absurd. That’s not to mention the PI inconsistencies today and the total ******** Butler forward progress debacle last week.

There are two different angles shown in this article. Green had his right hand underneath the ball as well as his left hand on top of the ball which was against his body. I wish I could upload the other angle but the file is too large. Here is a photo that shows that Green had two hands on the ball against his body.

I'm sorry, did you not see the title of the thread you were in? Perhaps you were looking for a thread about the 3 man front we've been playing, not "opinions on that INT." I know, sometimes when I read "Opinions on that INT" I accidentally read "opinions on the defense that wasn't on the field at all when the INT happened," and then feel really silly when I realize that my opinions on the defense that wasn't on the field at the time the INT that's clearly the topic of the thread even happened are extremely irrelevant to the actual topic of the thread. In these cases, I find that I usually am better served finding a thread about the defense that I'm not a super huge fan of, or, finding none, I might start one.
