BigRedBuster Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I had the game on mute. Did they say it wasn't a fumble because the runner's forward momentum had been stopped? The Iowa State defender was streaking down the field with the ball before the Texas RB hit the turf. i agree. i am wondering where they would have place the ball if it was overturned, as it should have been. That call was so sketchy. IMO his progress was stopped before the fumble, but the whistle doesn't blow until ISU had the ball. If the whistle isn't blowing its a live play right? So, if he would have pushed once more and gone over the line they wouldn't have given him a TD? Quote Link to comment

Forward progress can not be reviewed. They said he was down. Obviously want enough evidence to say otherwise Quote Link to comment
shyndy Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Idk the details I'm definitely curious you can definitely hear the whistle come when ISU has the ball Quote Link to comment

kreutz35 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Yup, seems about right... Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I saw that, and wanted to see it again. I honestly would have got up and kicked mike Davis in the head. Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 i just mean that if they determined it was in fact a strip before the play was blown down, the defender would have taken it to the house, but then it was blown dead. so would they have just spotted the ball where the defender was when the play was called dead? i think that might be why they did not overturn the call. they just screwed the pooch.

Mavric Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Yeah they would have gotten the ball at the point of recovery. Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Yeah they would have gotten the ball at the point of recovery. makes sense. but still complete bs. Quote Link to comment
clyde40 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 It was a fun game to go to just the outcome wasn't so much fun. I don't know why all the Texas fans want Mack gone, who will sleep with all the Big 12 refs once he's gone? lol Quote Link to comment

Forward progress can not be reviewed. They said he was down. Obviously want enough evidence to say otherwise My point of my comment was that I don't remember ever seeing a play like this where the RB runs into the pile, gets stopped, makes a second effort to stretch over the line and NOT give him the TD. So, on the flip side, if an RB can do that, they should still be considered in play and if they are still in play and the ball comes out then it's a fumble. I am so glad we are not in the Big XII anymore. I don't find it a coincidence that this always goes in Texas's favor. Quote Link to comment
