Question

So the officials "made a mistake" in calling a hold against Missouri's probable winning touchdown play. Was the mistake that there wasn't a hold on the play, or that you don't call holding on 4th and goal with 30 seconds left?

isuisu.com has some nice photographic evidence that it was indeed holding, or at least suspicious enough to draw a flag.

But what if the latter is the mistake? If the officials are reluctant to throw a subjective flag in a key moment, does that mean ISU's DB's should have held all of MU's receivers to defend the play?

I suspect that the "ISU screwed by bad calls" column is still a long way from equilibrium. A bowl winning field goal is no good when the ball was over the upright? Seneca didn't get the pylon against FSU?

Add your favorite blown play here.
