Really stupid taunting call.

I was at the game melting down. If we hadn’t scored a TD on that drive, that would’ve been hard to forget.
I might be over thinking it, but I love that we made it a point to go to Hutchinson after it. What a boneheaded call
It's hard to forget now and we won. This will live on forever with the best/worst of them.
I feel like that definitely would have been flagged!
It was so bad loved how they went back to hutch multiple times, and the fact that we still scored blessing in disguise cuz that stadium was fired up I might be a little horse this coming week after that. Also was watching Campbell he literally spent the remainder of the drive staring down that ref instead of watching offense. Love how intense he actually is but doesn’t show in media.
It's a ridiculous interpretation, or maybe just a ridiculous rule altogether, but it specifically has "unopposed ball carrier obviously altering stride" listed under the unsportsmanlike conduct part of the rule book.
It's assessed from the spot of the foul. Curveys spot occurred after breaking the plane
If Caleb Williams did that, there’d be no call and ESPN would have it in next week’s promo
High steps are not illegal. “Obviously altering stride when approaching the opponent’s goal line”…”obvious” being the key word here. To me, it wasn’t obvious in the sense needed to match the spirit and intent of the rule…there needed to be something more. There wasn’t. It’s not a black and white rule like stepping out of bounds, and they tried to interpret it in such a way, which is what I’m against.
Well yeah.
That goes for all sorts of things.
Can you imagine if ISU's tackles held the way opponents hold McDonald?
I agree which is why when he did high step, which he did, I think it was ridiculous that a flag was thrown for it.
Hard to say in that case, though. Those fouls were all treated as dead-ball/succeeding spot (even the ones that happened at the 10-yard line going in) until 2011, when they changed to a live-ball foul (in live-ball situations).
Under the current rules, he'd likely have been flagged around the 2.
Sure. And it’s clearly expected that the officials interpret that and draw the line as to what constitutes a personal foul.
From this thread, I feel like some posters might not understand that part. If you throw a flag anytime a player “alters stride” before he hits the end zone.. well then, like I said before… can’t change gait or slow down. And we all know that interpretation is ridiculous.
