Losing by 14 or 21 against a garbage team like the Sooners is equally embarrassing.


I agree but it could have been a momentum switch. It could have sparked a flame and got them back in the game. But probably not.

Did yall see why the official made the call? He got it wrong but there is a reason he made the call if I remember right.


He said Williams was covered up at the line at the snap( which he was not). When he touches the ball; it is illegal touching. If the balls go's somewhere else or he can't get his hands on it; no call.
I think that is correct?
Incredible catch; the kid has a gift. Made another crazy catch ; but was out of bounds.


Yes that was the call. It was a weird formation. If you look close Williams covered up the TE. Which in this formation he isn’t a TE because Williams is the Split End to the same side. The TE becomes an “extra tackle” when you cover him up like that. It appears that they ran trips to the TE side to get a matchup they wanted or to have the TE on that side for a protection reason. Since Williams covered up the TE the TE isn’t eligible. Which is fine because he stayed in to protect. But the ref saw it was a weird formation, saw that Williams covered up the TE pre snap, but when Williams caught the ball, the ref had it in his mind that Williams was covered up instead of him being the one that covered up the TE. Or that is what it appeared to be going through his head to me. As soon as I saw the extra tackle I thought they were gonna run to that side. Then when they passed, I assumed the TE went down field and was ineligible and that was the call… illegal man downfield. But when they called illegal touching on 2 I was like well he must have run out of bounds and then touched the ball and then caught the pass. After the replay… they blew that one. He got confused royally.

But to your response, if he WAS covered up and the ball was passed to someone else… the call would have been illegal man downfield.
