The Iowa State Cyclones fell in an upset to MAC opponent Ohio, 10-7, on the road at Peden Stadium, but a controversial call on a field goal may have swayed the outcome of the game.
Although there is not 100 percent certainty, the replay angle appeared to show the ball staying inside the right post, which should’ve been a good field goal.
“Wow, it at least should have been looked at, in my opinion,” Rocky Boiman said on the ESPN broadcast. “Maybe they did talk about it, but we got no indication they did. … Those two angles, that thing looked like it was in.” The call hurt the Cyclones more later in the quarter when quarterback Rocco Becht connected for an 18-yard passing touchdown to Jayden Higgins.The Hurricanes had one last chance to score in the fourth with 2:13 left, but Becht was picked off to seal the win for Ohio, which moved to 3-1 while Iowa State dropped to 1-2.
The call on the kick may have been one of the ultimate deciders, but Ohio did a solid job holding Iowa State to just 271 yards of total offense. Iowa State takes on Big 12 foe Oklahoma State next Saturday as it looks to get back on track after the tough loss.
