@ASTHERADIOPLAYS nah he was in. His knee didn't go down til the ball was on the goal line. try again.
-
Marv Cook had a good FBS and NFL career
-
I was 12 when this happened. It seems weird now, but back then not every Hawk game was on tv.
I was listening to Jim Zabel and was hugging and kissing my radio on that last play..I just remember jumping up and down and screaming in my room when Cook made that catch!

In 2010 they would have reviewed and probably give iowa ball on 6in with 6secs to play - they would have had a second chance for TD - glad they didnt reveiw plays in 1987...

I had just moved from Iowa City to Chicago and was listening to this game on the radio - 1st time Iowa had won at Columbus in 30 yrs. I had always heard Bo Pelini(OSU safety) claim that Cook didnt get in - so I kept pausing this clip and you can clearly see a frane where his knee is down and the ball has not crossed the plane - so Pelini has a point. But you cant see it at regular speed & every play like this back then was always called a touchdown - so for 1987 it is a touchdown.

@knightryderrwn I have a number of replays. He was in, clearly.

Marv Cook was also a pretty good NFL TE with the Patriots & Bears
-
I believe Earle bruce said Marv Cook and this game ended his tenure at Ohio State. He was fired a few days later.
What is the Hawkeys sports network?

KGAN in Cedar Rapids (and probably some other stations around the Midwest) used to carry an abbreviated version of that day's game on football Saturdays after the 10 o'clock news. If the game wasn't carried live on another station I'd usually tape the late night rebroadcast from Channel 2.

Did they stop doing that?

Yes, 1987 was the last year they did it, at least I think it was.
