In our view from section 110 of the Cotton Bowl, it looked like the refs missed the following:
A sooner stepped out of bounds on his own, then completed a 3rd and long pass, which resulted in a touchdown a play or two later. This was reviewed and the play stood, but on the video screen it was obvious. They freeze framed the screen with his foot out.
A sooner stepped out of bounds on his own, then completed a 3rd and long pass, which was a touchdown play. This play was NOT reviewed and was not even contested by the Longhorn staff, but was completely obvious on the big screen replay. Again, they freeze framed the screen with his foot out.
Rattler through a backwards pass that was recovered by Texas but was rulled a forward incomplete pass and immediately blown dead. This would have resulted in a Texas touchdown.
An OU fumble that was ruled Texas ball, but was overturned after the review, but on the stadium screen, you could not see the ball in any of the angles at the time his knee touched the ground. There did not appear to be anything that could overturn the call. This resulted in an OU field goal a few plays later.
Blatant offensive holding by the OU line that was not called on at least 7 occasions, many of which converted 3rd and long situations and at least one touchdown.
I know this is an over used statement, but it was the worst officiating I've ever seen. I must have had a bad angle or something.
