Iowa State was embroiled in a true slugfest on the road at Ohio Saturday, with points coming at a premium. The Cyclones thought they were on the board in the middle of the fourth quarter with a 37-yard field goal by Chase Contreraz, but the official deemed that the kick—which appeared to clear the upright for three points—was a miss.
On third-and-13 from the Ohio 31-yard-line, Cyclones quarterback Rocco Becht found Dimitri Stanley for 12 yards. Rather than go for it on fourth-and-1, coach Matt Campbell elected to kick a field goal to cut the Bobcats lead to a touchdown.
Contreraz’s kick looked good on the broadcast, and on a replay from underneath the goalpost, but the officials ruled it wide right.
