The refs helped just a little

They made it to the 1 yes. But they should have never crossed the goal line. Making it to the 1 doesn't mean anything. There are no points for that. Iowa State made a play, and it was taken away by incompetence.

They drove the ball down there. Then what happened?

What would have happened if there had not been four penalties?

Not until Iowa State put it in their hands. Maybe if the Cyclones don't blow the game, they hold on for the win.

Not exactly. They didn't make it to the 1. They had a LOT of help from somebody who wasn't the refs.

So do you feel that all teams should have to beat their opponent and the refs?

That would still mean they made it to the one.

No, they drove the ball to the 40. Iowa State gave them 38, the refs gave them 1, and Texas drove for the other 1.

If Iowa State had beaten their opponent, the refs would not be a factor, Al Gore.

Iowa state did beat their opponent, and the refs were a factor. The penalties would have been moot had the correct call been made.

Iowa State took the ball from Texas. Game over. Internally, they should be pissed for letting it get to that point. But the refs are to blame for the final result. That shouldn't happen.

Same refs that awarded Texas those penalty yards denied ISU their call. No one can dispute that so quit trying.

Iowa State made a LOT of mistakes. A ton, particularly when it came to penalties.

And in spite of that, they still would've won were it not for referee incompetence.

That deliberate cheapshot from Mike Davis on the kickoff was absolutely pathetic.

If Texas doesn't at least suspend him for that, I can't bring myself to root for them ever again.

I have a learning disability and I dropped out of school in 7th grade and have been hitting my head with a hammer incessantly for the past 26 years, and even I know that when you give an opponent 38 yards on the final drive when you're up one score, you've screwed yourself. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some Shakespeare to read.

You've at least got that going for you.
