What was the bad call?
How could a 17 pt game be impacted by a bad call?
A correct "no touchdown" call of the field was reviewed and overturned to be a touchdown in OSU's favor. Went from being a tie game going into halftime to OSU having a lead. I'm guessing many ISU fans would say something about momentum going into the half...I don't really agree...especially since it was a botched kick return that led to them being in position to score at the end of the half...in the scheme of this game, ISU was almost absolutely going to lose that game regardless.
This is more about what has occurred over the past couple years. Terrible calls have led to Big XII officials straight up saying they got it wrong and apologizing after the fact. The frequency with which it has occurred in both football and basketball is disheartening. This is where, while I don't agree with the timing of this statement, I completely agree with the sentiment.
