I picked ISU to beat oSu in my pool. The Clones are the better team. But please save me the official errors whines henceforth. That bell rings quite hollow after Saturday.
One potentially beneficial call doesn't mean ****. Sorry.
We have literal apology letters for bad calls that cost us games.
OSU missed out on an opportunity to extend the game, but they weren't in field goal range and had just over a minute and one timeout left. There's no guarantee they tie it up or win on that drive.
Especially since there were multiple bad calls against us in the SAME GAME.
OSU fans are discounting the unsportsmanlike penalty, but there was no guarantee we were going to score after the TD was called back. ISU just willed themselves into the EZ in spite of it. If that ended up a FG attempt it would have been even more egregious than it was in the first place.
We also had ANOTHER flag picked up on a defensive holding that was BS as well. He wouldn't have thrown it if there was nothing there. He just got convinced by another ref to pick it up.
It was a very physical game and very few calls were actually made. Will McDonald was being held for a good portion of the game but only got one or two of them actually called, and he sacked the QB in spite of one of them so we declined it.
So no, one questionable spot doesn't make up for anything.
