The fact of the matter is that, had the camera not caught this brief ricochet and a red-hot Oklahoma offense been allowed to travel the 38 yards necessary to score a touchdown, the game most certainly would have ended in a victory for the Sooners.

That’s a valid complaint, but Gabe doesn’t care about that and he says so: “What’s frustrating about the way this occurred has nothing to do with officials, the rules—though some on Oklahoma Twitter are arguing that the refs did blow the call according to the rulebook—or even instant replay as a way to make judgment…

Just wait for the next, and umpteenth, article that complains about VAR correctly overturning an illegal goal!

You are exactly right.

Deadspin’s take on replay

Remember your Deadspin technology takes.

So “one of the 4 best teams in the country” should be rewarded in a game they gave up 48 points to an unranked team based on the camera correctly showing they touched the ball before it went the required 10 yards? FOH w/ this crap.

If it wasn’t for those couple frames of film we've endlessly reviewed, JFK’s brains would still be in his head.

Did... did a Sooner write this?

This take was so bad I expected it to blame Millennials by the end. 

the game most certainly would have ended in a victory for the Sooners.

Gabe’s take on this is so bad it feels like he had money on the game.

Take your click. Your argument is asinine and is not worthy of serious consideration by anyone. 

I knew what I was getting into when I clicked on this, but I still feel regret.

It’s not about two frames of video. A ball ricocheting off someone can only take place over two frames of video. It’s about those two frames conclusively showing that an Oklahoma player touched the ball before 10 yards, which should have been seen in real time. Video replay allows referees to correct calls they messed…

You missed the point. That one replay cost Oklahoma the game and maybe season, NOT giving up 48 points to Kansas State.

Complaining that the cameras caught it? Seriously? Are we upset when the cameras catch whether they drag their feet for a catch, or whether a fumble occurs before being down? Darn technology

The main gripe here is that piece of modern technology was used to essentially determine the outcome of a game within a system that is nowhere near as modern... had the camera not caught this brief ricochet and a red-hot Oklahoma offense been allowed to travel the 38 yards necessary to score a touchdown, the game most…

It was very obvious...even off of two frames of footage...that the ball hit number 8 before 10 yards. Don't be a dullard. 

Yes, and if logic dictated American car purchasing decisions they’d be in business. Kei cars would also make a ton of sense in a lot of US cities, but I don’t see them here either.
