    The obsession on officiating regarding OU on this website borders on Aggy-esque. Wait until the skull fucking you'll see in the SEC.

    I rewound to see it. You are going to be shocked to hear this:  It was nowhere close to the play, and it was a pretty soft call.

This is a crazy situation and I don't know the exact rules. The ball crossed the line of scrimmage but Brooks didn't. The ball was officially a forward pass, I think, because there was never an unintentional loss of possession (i.e., fumble). I think that this is a legal play statistically as a pass from Brooks to Williams, unfortunately.

 you can't just play double handoff. 

why not?

i mean, forward progress was clearly stopped

I agree with this but I don't believe that's reviewable, is it?

I think it's a legal play.

 

I also think it's rotten as fuck to take away a KU TD for a veeeery marginal hold 20 yards away from the play while ignoring OU receivers holding on the edge right in front of the runner.... like, for example, just a few snaps ago.

Play should have been stopped for forward progress but you can't review that.

Yep

Refs should have blown dead before the forward hand-off...

They are just making shit up.

Legal forward handoff.

If the defense and stripped it, it would have been ruled a fumble.

So much for the Big 12 refs will screw Texas and OU as we leave the conference narrative

Anyone surprised?

Nope.  Fuck this conference.

No way that should stand. You can't rip the ball out of your own teammate's hand. He can pitch it to you but you can't just play double handoff. 

Guess many double reverses are illegal then.

nope, but of course the refs swallow their whistles at a critical time for ou

Play should have been stopped for forward progress 

Does it not matter that he previously ran across the line of scrimmage? I thought once you went past the LOS you couldn't have a "forward pass".

That's not a pitch nor a handoff. He ripped the ball out of his teammate's hand.

So many missed holds against OU.  Water is wet.   I'll never understand how they get every break every fucking game including BS like that last play. Truly unbelievable

The question I have is did he cross the line of scrimmage and then get pushed back behind it. That would have seemed to make it illegal. But it was close.

It was close, but he definitely crossed the line of scrimmage before getting pushed back.

Anyone surprised?

Not at all. This kind of shit happens for them all of the time.

Luckiest f'ing program in America.

another hold uncalled.

It really is damn near every fucking play.  I don't understand how coaches in this conference haven't all agreed to just send in every fucking hold on tape to Bowlsby's band of dumb fucks weekly.   It's been going on for 15 years

If KU can pull in some decent skill recruits, they could be a bowl team in a couple years.

You're not across the line of scrimmage until your entire body is past it.

If he crossed line of scrimmage, than by rule that was an illegal forward hand-off...  

OU benefits from a shitty big 12 with no good defenses. The #3 team shouldn’t have this much trouble with Kansas. When they play a good defense, Williams is going to get his ass beat.

You're correct - my bad.

Major props and respect to anyone who thought this would end any other way. I wish I still had your optimism, but I've been doing this to long, and seen it too many times to not know how it turns out. 

And they punch it in to try to not look so bad when two knees would have run out the clock

Sooners with a little garbage time TD to fool the media and coaches who didn't watch this game. 

The shittiest thing about the holds not getting called is that when the receivers do it, it’s so much easier to see than when it’s done on the interior of the line. They were so obvious and had an effect on the play.

You're not across the line of scrimmage until your entire body is past it. 

Not sure that is accurate. Otherwise a QB throwing a ball that goes beyond the line of scrimmage and it gets batted back to him could legally throw it again.

Maybe you are right but line issues always seem more to be about where the ball is.

They have to make it a point every fucking game to mention the “Texas” comeback.
