Oscar Nominations For Colt McCoy And Mike Knall; Eye Appointments Scheduled For The Entire Refereeing Crew
10/11/08
In what was one of the most highly anticipated matchups of the year outside OSU-USC, the 5th-ranked Texas Longhorns came away with a victory over #1 Oklahoma, 45-35.While the game was a competitive, hard-fought battle, it was marred by several poor calls by the referees. Several plays were wrongly called roughing the passer and late hits on Texas QB Colt McCoy, who did his best Manu Ginobili impersonation a few times. Oklahoma punter Mike Knall must have seen what was going on, and decided to try the same thing, since it was working so well for McCoy. The resulting penalty gave the Sooners a first down, instead of being forced to punt, and they responded with a TD.
However, the most controversial call came with about a minute and a half left in the 3rd quarter. McCoy threw what looked like an interception in the end zone by Lamont Robinson, but what called an incomplete pass, setting up a Texas FG:
The Longhorns took their first lead of the game there, and would go on to win by 10. This was definitely a pivotal play, and swung momentum heavily in favor of Texas.
The rankings will now shift around quite a bit, and some people think Texas will move up all the way to #1. It definitely legitimizes their current ranking, since they had only beaten bad teams before this game.Oklahoma has been the victim of controversial calls in the past as well, including a loss to Oregon 2 years ago that resulted in several suspensions.
Where do you put Texas in your rankings now? Obviously it depends on how Mizzou and LSU do in their games, but this was definitely a big game for the Longhorns.
