The rule is that he was down by contact when his knee hit the ground
I ain't mad at ya, just another lolutsa
Seriously? I thought the RULE was a play is dead when the whistle blows. The ISU player was off and running at the 10yd line when the whistle blew to kill the play. Either stick to the rule book, or toss that in the gabage. I aint mad at ya rjv, just sayin stick to the rules and dont modify them per situation. Its bull .

I go to ISU so blame bias on me, but if I pause it at the 42 second mark, #52 is grabbing the football out of the arms of the running back (ball is coming loose) while the running back is still on his feet.
He needs to be suspended multiple games, that was dirty as .
Nope. I don't conclusively see it.
You must be a Big 12 referee.
I watched the in game, I watched all the replays............when dude snatched the ball from JG, he was pushing forward with a knee not even close to the ground, so STFU Flake.
Good picture for the caption game. Dude looks a tad unstable.

Doesnt matter. Blake just likes to go against the grain. Doesnt matter if he is wrong. He is just like that in everything. He talks big , and eventually it makes him look like a dumbass. Like I said before, in predictions, in relationships.........you name it. Flake is a talker than is rarely correct on anything.
You're definitely an Iowa St homer.
lol butthurt, even if you're right.
Look batter...........go to shaggy bevo and SEE what even the UT fans have to say about the game and that ed up call. Most are saying it was bad, that Gray was NOT down by contact. No knee on the turf, and definitely no gottdayum whistle. Read the in rule book Flake.

I would stake Flakes life on it............. if the tables were turned, that strip would have surely been a TD for Texas. No doubt in my in mind. The whistle would not have blown, and there would not have been a replay.....well, if there was it would have been inconclusive the OTHER way and the UT touchdown would have stood.
Well I do go to school here..
i just didn't see anything that clearly stood out. there were too many players obstructing the view of grey's knees. if the ruling had been a fumble, i also would have felt there was not enough to overturn that ruling. unfortunately for ISU, the ruling was no fumble.
It's a bit of a harder play to call than people suggest. I would probably be mad if I was am Iowa St fan. But it was just so messy, plus the argument could be made that the forward progress rule should have been called. I personally say it should have been a fumble, but it's not easy to overturn that call either.
Well there you go
ditto on the fumble opinion, ditto on the overturn.
Just not enough conclusive evidence.
I am kinda excited to see if Stooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop s can deliver the DEATHBLOW next weekend. 80 is a possibility
Texas won't do it, it'll have to come from conference officials after a review. According to Mack, he was "competing."
I foresee 11am tee times for many UT fans next Saturday.
Statement from the Big XII on last night's officiating:
"In accordance with Big 12 Conference protocol I have reviewed several plays from last night's Texas at Iowa State football game. Those plays include the personal foul penalty called in the endzone against Texas wide receiver Mike Davis, and the goal line play late in the game.
The ruling made on the goal line play was that the runner was down by rule with the ball. Because of that ruling, instant replay is allowed to review the play, which it did. Had the ruling on the field been forward progress, the play would not be reviewable because the goal line was not involved. The Replay Official looked at all five views available for this play: Line Feed, Goal Line cart, Press Box angle, Sky Cam, and Opposite End Zone camera. He correctly determined there was no indisputable video evidence to confirm that either the ruling on the field was correct, or that the ball was loose prior to the runner being down. By rule when there is not indisputable video evidence to confirm or change the call on the field, the ruling stands.
On this play, the covering official ruled the runner was down and still had control of the ball. There is no question the runner ends up on the ground, and there is no question that eventually an Iowa State player ends up with the ball. However, after reviewing the video evidence it is impossible to tell with certainty when the runner loses control of the ball and at that point was he down or not.
The conference would acknowledge in this unique situation if a mistake were made, but we do not have the video evidence to prove that one occurred.
The play involving Mr. Davis is being addressed in accord with the Conference's Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct Policy."
