The hit that "re-racked" Magnum (illegally and recklessly applied) was a turning point because the lack of a call killed our drive when it should have extended it.
Second, it remove one of our greatest weapons.
Then to cap it off, the hit by Eric Nelson on the sliding QB, that again changed the course of the game? Watch the reply. Eric was in the air prior to the QB initiating his slide. So EWU gets a new set of downs when instead they were legitimately stopped.
So that was another homer job by the refs who apparently just weren't ready for an ISU win.
My conclusion? We should have beaten them by such a distance that the refs errors wouldn't get in the way, but we didn't.
A hard lesson, but world be served notice-
It does make any sense why the hit on Mangum was ignored by the refs, Everyone witnessed it, even someone with absolutely no referee experience could have made the call.
ISU IS BACK!!!
