First, let’s give full marks to the Kansas State Wildcats for their thrilling, gutsy 31-28 overtime win over the TCU Horned Frogs in the Big 12 Championship game.
Now, let’s get to the officials in this game, who struggled throughout, and never more so than on TCU’s goal-line stand, which really started when TCU quarterback Max Duggan ran five yards inside the Kansas State one-yard line. Duggan’s elbow hit the turf just before he was able to get the ball in the end zone, but the officials spotted the ball at the one-yard line after the play was over. After a lengthy review, the officials spotted the ball a few inches forward, but not where Duggan’s elbow landed.
