Big 12 officials blew ASU-UT call
Posted: Thursday September 06, 2007 10:19AM ET
Arkansas State coach Steve Roberts says he was told by the Big 12 Conference's supervisor of football officials that game officials wrongly overturned ASU's recovery of an onside kick in the final minute of the No. 7 Longhorns 21-13 victory on Saturday. "We got a confirmation [Tuesday] that they missed the call," Roberts said. The Indians were flagged with 56 seconds left in the game for an improper formation. Texas recovered a subsequent onside kick attempt and ran out the clock. Roberts said the game film showed the Indians had enough players on both sides of the ball before the kick.

Report Offensive CommentLet's see. An 8 point lead with 56 seconds left and a legal onside kick was flagged? Yep, I'd say that play mattered.

Report Offensive CommentWhat's with officials and bad on-side kick calls in the NCAA? We don't see that play much, but c'mon, it's an important play.

Report Offensive Comment"In other news, it was discovered that some Big 12 officials have links to Tim Donaghy."
The refs are human, yes. But for this call to occur, doesn't make any sense. Like Gator said, "Yep, I'd say that play mattered". When a game is too close like that, a replay should be the rule, not the exception. Each team deserves a fair chance at a win.
Unless they're the Buckeyes. (Yes, I am a Wolverines fan, and yes...that loss this past weekend still hurts like a kick in the junk with steel toe boots)

Report Offensive CommentI'm glad Texas and OU won. It gives them the chance to be undefeated before the Aggies obliterate their hopes and dreams of a Big 12 or national title.

Report Offensive CommentOk guys this isn't like OU v. Oregon. It was a bad call but it was a penalty. It is not subject to review. Plus there is no guarantees. I feel bad for the ASU fans but this isnt a TD not called one or a PI in the endzone.
Here is the difference last year OU had the lead and it was a fictional PI call that allowed Oregon to get in positon... oh yeah that was after a blown call (not a penalty) subject to review regarding possession of an onside kick. They blew who recovered OU plus the contact issue. AND they could review and still blew it. Then they screwed up the PI. So not the same situation. (1) ASU behind...OU was ahead. (2) OU/Oregon reviewable play... ASU not (3) 3blown calls in OU/Oregon ..1 in ASU game (still bad but goes to the degree of a blowing a game)

Report Offensive CommentTexas will need all the help this season, esp when NU comes and lites up the horns. BTW Keller was best known at ASU for screwing a chick doggy style while doing a line of coke off her back. I bet Colt cant claim that!
