And if that is truly the case I can see why there might be some hard feelings over that.
      Yes. He was very misleading, if I understand things correctly. But perhaps Pollard did say something to that effect and I don't know about it.

      I'm not really big into officials deciding to punish a player or team, though. It's extremely hard to watch that "touchdown" and explain how the call was overturned. It's things like that that cause these kind of accusations.

          Thank you for the clarification of the touchdown rule. I'm sure Iowa State and I did not know that.

          Also....because the camera was not at the goal line. It would be different if you could actually tell if the ball was "touching" the line.

            Never should have been overturned. Had the original call been TD I would say the same thing. No proof either way to overturn the call on the field. It does smell funny when most refs are so conservative in their replay rulings.

              Because it wasn't a TD. Still haven't seen anything close to indisputable evidence.

              Pollard speaking up against the Big 12 refs seems like something you would want your AD to do if he felt he was getting disadvantaged by them.
