Iowa State successfully attempts an onside kick vs Baylor but gets called for an offside penalty which clearly isn't there.

  • You need to watch the kicker on this one. This is extremely technical because the kicker is usually awarded the plant foot across on a normal approach. The kicker was offsides in this case and it is a very guttsy call that can go either way. As TimOaks mentioned, a similar play happened in another conference and it wasn't called. Different conferences' officiating bodies differ in philosphies, so it doesn't really have any weight on this call. Tough one in any case.

  • The rules for onside kicks allow the kicker to cross the line "offsides" before they kick it. This came up in the Iowa-Minnesota game this yr too when the Minnesota kicker did the EXACT same thing, no penalty, and that was the right call. The refs f***ed up on this one. Kinda reminds me of when Iowa was screwed by a phantom offsides call vs Florida in the Outback Bowl in 2006.

  • Every kicker on every onside kick does this exact thing. NFL or College they all do this. Horrible call.

  • The number was wrong, but if you look at the video where they slow and stop it, you can see the kicker stepped over the 30 yard line before he kicked the ball, making it a good call. Besides, if you listen to the announcer he even states this. #7 was not the culprit, the kicker was.

  • @SeattleClone got a link to that?

  • This was the biggest pile of fucking bullshit since those motherfucking refs Paul Janssen, Gary O'neill, and some other faggot let Kansas make a three-pointer in between Jared Homan free-throws.

  • feels the same as "passing interference on the quaterback"

  • they were just pulling shit out if their asses here. They called it on Jeremiah George, not the kicker, which doesn't make it any better because no one was even close to being offsides.

  • Kicker can't be offsides...it's in the rules. ISU got screwed outta this one.
