Stunning final play gives Central Michigan win over Okla
This gave the ball to Central Michigan for one play, from their own 49-yard line, with no time on the clock.
Chippewas quarterback Cooper Rush connected with receiver Jesse Kroll, who was covered heavily by Cowboys defenders and almost tackled.
Corey Willis scored the winning touchdown after grabbing a lateral from Jesse Kroll at the 12.
Baker Mayfield passed for 244 yards and three touchdowns in a half of work, and No. 14 Oklahoma beat Louisiana-Monroe 59-17 in a warmup for its showdown with Ohio State.
The call stood. Touchdown, Chippewas.
Up next for Oklahoma State is a visit from Pittsburgh to Stillwater on Saturday.
Around 500 students and fans were there when the bus pulled up. It could not be true that Grambling State, one of the day’s many visitors to various kingdoms by teams from the underling Football Championship Subdivision (or third tier), had helped itself to a 21-3 halftime lead at Arizona, but it was.
(2) CLEMSON 30, TROY 24: Deshaun Watson threw for three touchdowns and the Tigers (2-0) held off the pesky Trojans (1-1) in Clemson, South Carolina.
“You could hear the puckering up on the other side”. We were told there was nothing that could be done about the officials error at the end of the game and the result is final.
The feeling was surreal for Rush, too, who was bombarded by students asking to take selfies with him after getting off the bus.
Kyle Postma got the start at quarterback for Houston and he completed 14 of 25 passes for 125 yards. “Can’t wait for next week”.
On fourth down with four seconds left from the Central Michigan 41, Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph let time run, then fired deep incomplete as time expired. The referees incorrectly ruled intentional grounding on the play.
It’s week 2 of the college football season, and it’s already been a lot of fun.
“He kind of moved a little bit, but I never really thought of intentional grounding being called at that time in the game”.
It wasn’t until after the game that the officiating error came to light.
ATHENS, Ga. – A nail-bitter against an unheralded FCS team was probably the last thing anyone expected when ninth-ranked Georgia took the field for its home opener. “But they extended it”.
The score was 27-24 in favor of the Cowboys when the Chippewas had the ball on Oklahoma State’s 48-year line.
Even the MAC officials doing the game said afterwards that they made a mistake.
The eight-man officiating crew that botched the end of the Central Michigan-Oklahoma State game has been suspended for two games, the Mid-American Conference announced Sunday.
If anything, the the rule should be changed, not the outcome of the game. The sentence in quotes applies perfectly to Oklahoma State.
But he later admitted there was a situation where the game can end. In my mind, it is incomprehensible that a mistake made after time had expired can not be corrected. But final scores are just that: final.
The debates do not matter now.
Central Michigan is unlikely to go on to win a national title the way those Buffaloes did, but it will still go down as one of the biggest wins in school history.
After the game, O’Dey cited that Central Michigan had been erroneously given an untimed down that resulted in the play happen as you see in the clip above.
However, it wasn’t and Central Michigan got one more chance to win the game, which they did.
