I watched the end of the OU game last weekend and, boy, did the Sooners ever get screwed on the onside's kick.
It was obvious the ball didn't go ten yards before Oregon touched it, but I had no idea that OU had actually recovered the ball. If you're interested in this sort of thing, you have to see this youtube clip where the play has been broken down more than the Zapruder film.
(And, by the way, the officiating crew has been suspended for this week's game).

How could they review that play and still get it wrong? I can see maybe missing it during live play, but to blow it after reviewing it doesn't make any sense at all.
What's so amazing is this--not only was it OBVIOUSLY touched by Oregon before the ball traveled ten yards on the replay, but Oregon NEVER had the ball in the first place!! You'd think the referee would wonder about his call when the Oregon players were jumping up and saying "yea for us"--and NONE of them had a ball in their hands!! I think its kinda basic that a fumble/live ball recovery call requires the recovering team to have the ball in their hands!!
Incredible. As a referee, how do you go into a pile of players, see a football that isn't there, and make a call based on who has it? Nobody had it. The guy with the ball was not in the pile.
yes oklahoma got screwed....not just on that play,but others {reveiwed}by the refs.but on many occations other teams playing in Norman have had the same done to them.just ask any big12 coach .what goes around comes around.
