College Football Tough Calls Week 3

[cardsfansince82]

OU barely escapes with a W against Air Force.

[cardsfansince82]

Texas Tech is looking a little frisky on defense.

edit: that's probably a back breaker. Stupid penalty extends the drive and then an almost goal line stand becomes a TD.

[cardsfansince82]

Wow, what a gutsy call by Michigan State to win the game in OT. You have to defend the fake there and just tip your cap if he makes the FG.

Iowa is going down.

Okay, I just saw the replay and I would be livid if I was a ND fan. The play clock was at zero for a full two seconds before the snap. Then they actually had the play defended perfectly and the most egregious offensive PI I've ever seen wasn't flagged. The receiver straight up tackled his defender and the defender guarding the guy who caught the pass. Completely takes out two guys and none of the officials throw a flag. If either the PI or delay is called it's 4th and really long out of field goal range and ND almost certainly wins.

Iowa is going down.

Had 5 units on Zona!

That was a weird game, it seems like Iowa has won that type of game a million times, but finally lost this one.

Bad news: giant kegger I was at did not enjoy most of that game. I didn't expect Iowa to win out, but I definitely thought we'd get through our nonconference games undefeated. Wow. And Wisco gets lucky and moves past us. Ouch.

Good news: still got some strange.

All in all, it was a good night.

Most people who changed their minds were wrong

faceman I am removing one loss from your total the Utah Pitt game as people have joined late without penalty and I didn't penalize cards82 for posting late this week.

Thanks for doing this, slide. It's a lot of fun and I find myself giving more of a [expletive] about games like GT-UNC than I ever would otherwise.

Such an exciting finish that your coach has a [expletive] heart attack.

Now you kind of know how degenerate gamblers feel.
