Who said ISU would had scored a TD? You don’t know for sure. What I do know is ISU had two miscues that the refs had no part of that DIRECTLY LED TO 14 POINTS FOR KANSAS. Iowa state lost by 7. Do the math
NOTEBOOK: On Jaylin Noel’s near TD on a kick return that was called back and more from ISU’s 28-21 loss to Kansas
- Thread starter The Rob Gray
- Start date
And two of the personal fouls last night were not this. Imo that is something that comes from the top.
You play to the whistle, and play hard, but you don't do anything that jeopardizes the team.
I'm pretty sure in close games a few plays here and there determine outcomes. You can't just blame it on a couple plays Kansas made then turn around and discount the play we made.
You can’t blame the loss of the officals. ISU could had simply driven the ball 31 yards to make the horrid call a non issue. Just like ISU did when X was called for taunting.
ISU lost because of their mistakes, not because of officiating. So feel free to complain about this bad call, because it was a bad call. But don’t use it as an excuse to why they lost
Edit: I would think a 50 yard INT return for a TD and a 80 yd TD allowed aren’t simply a “few plays here and there”. That’s 14 direct points!!!
If you think calls on the field as atrocious and bizarre as a qb fumbling 10 yards through the air directly at the hands of the receiver he’s staring at happen every single game…you’re just delusional and employing coping mechanisms.
It was an off the charts bad call that completely breaks the existence of the sport if it were correct and a clear sign of the kind of incompetence or indifference of the crew.
Yes, it was a bad call. I haven’t said anything different. My point is they didn’t lose the game because of officiating.
ISU lost not just because of their mistakes. They lost because of their mistakes, and because of the refs. That 80 yd TD situation probably doesn’t even exist if we score after Noel return if it was called properly.
Stop blaming officials. They gave up the 80 yd TD; they gave up a pick 6. They allowed a crucial fourth down conversion on the opening drive which resulted in a TD.
The refs didn’t cause these mistakes.
Do you know what “mutually exclusive means”? You need to learn it.
These things are not mutually exclusive at all.
No - I understand. The refs made a mistake on this play. Ok. Let’s all whine and complain. It’s not why they lost, but we can all complain about it.
Yes, just not as obvious. Are you actually insinuating the refs are the reason why ISU lost?
What ref mistakes did KU overcome?
Already made it clear that ISU lost because of bad offense AND bad ref mistakes.
Dude. They would've had the ball at the 3. Let's be honest. They would've scored a TD. Agree about ISU's miscues. And the clock management. Those were bad. But that call took away 7 pts and ISU lost by 7. I can see why fans are pissed.
It’s more about momentum than points. In a game like that having a huge momentum changing play like a long kick return followed by a score allows a team to flip a switch and play with more urgency and focus.
All that I need to know about your view is insinuating the 80 yd touchdown allowed wouldn’t have happened if the officials made the proper call on this play.
That is 100% laughable
Yeah! And in the jansas bball game, the blarge call against niang was only one play! If they made 1 more stop we would have won!!
I don't understand people's refusal ro admit officials bad calls can make a difference in a game.
Dude! They still had the ball on the 31 yard line. They could had easily scored a touchdown, but didn’t. Just like they scored a TD after the taunting call
They lost because of the 80 TD touchdown and the pick 6
Do you really think the game ia the same if the score is 14-10 at half instead of 14-3? I don't know what to tell you then ...
