As a Washington fan, keep the pac 12 together OSU and WSU. We will be back and this one was absolutely stupid. I am so upset. Congrats to WSU, this is a good looking team and ditto to OSU
SEASIDESUN: Well, the Badgers are a Big 10 team, often big and sluggish for the winter... The Cougars are still west coast hippies in the PAC-12, who got lucky in this game...
Man Washington St got a squad!! I wonder what they're going to do conference wise? Seems them and Oregon ST to good for the MWC but what else can u do? Invite the whole MWC to the Pac 12? ACC to far? I dont know but they need a conference cuz they're very good!!
As a badger fan I would relish that match-up. I think we have a bright future. The loss last year was a gift in a way because it pushed a guy out the door that really should not have been selected as the head coach of a major college football program. We replaced that with a solid coach and staff and that is what we need to look forward to. Your program caught us in the midst of this transition and we played pretty ugly through it. Luckily this was early in the revamp of the system and this team should come back hungry the rest of the season. Cougs are a good team that played well at home. You guys got some big breaks from the officials, I think you have to admit that. Still it was a close game both years. You all got the upper hand and neither team has much control over what a reffing crew does so I don't blame Washington State for shitty calls. So congrats.
@@daveyboygee - I honestly have never had a WSU opponent whine more about the calls. My goodness, if you have watched football for any amount of time, you have to be used to it. We had a bad call against us five years ago and we should have won, but we didn’t. We hold the other team accountable for it and whine about it. How about our quarterback going airborne on the sideline after a late hit ( I am going to whine about that mo call all day and blame it on Wisconsin ) I was there. You represented well, but you whined hard. You are lucky some of your fans didn’t get their asses kicked by the farmers. I saw a punk kid with a Badger shirt on ready to fight an old man because his knee ran into his mommy at the football game. I have lost all my respect for Wisconsin fans. I will call you the “ whining Badgers “ for the rest of my days.
Safety call could have made a huge difference. Tie game and the badgers get the ball back with momentum. Uneven pass-interference calls. Rb was down before ball came out 🤷👍
@@75shadystorm - holy crap man. Would have, could have….etc. How many football games have you watched? How about this? You keep the ball on the fumble call and you get the safety. We drive down and score twice and still beat your dumbasses. Hypotheticals mean absolutely nothing in football because anything can happen. If a questionable call happens on the last drive of a game that is different. I have watched the Cougs score 24 points in 5 minutes. Become a real football fan and take wins for wins and losses for losses. “ I think I saw an offsides that would have given us a first down and we probably would have scored if we didn’t have to punt it “ you must be young that is all I can figure.
Nope. Slow down your RU-vid playback speed to 0.5 or 0.25. At 11:40.0, Hicks' has made contact with the football and begins to try to rip the ball out but Allen appears to still have possession At 11:41.0, only Allen's wrist is down. From this angle it's unclear if he has started losing control of the ball. At about 11:41.75 Allen's forearm is mostly down, but not the elbow. If you shift back and forth between 11:41.0 and 11:41.75 you can see that Allen's right hand is moving down towards the field but the ball's motion has stopped. He has lost possession at this point. The ball is no longer in the runner's grasp and is either sitting on his flexed right wrist or hovering just above it. At 11:42 flat is when the elbow is officially down but the ball is already out. It's extremely close but I think the refs nailed this one.
Just do a slow mo and freeze at 11:40-11:41. Runner's elbow was clearly down and ball is tight into his chest. How a senior officiating crew could miss this is beyond anyone's reckoning. The only answer is straight up cheating.

The refs were probably just used to the badgers fumbling all the time at that point and so they gave WSU the benefit of the doubt. I say that in jest but who knows, that may have actually played a role. Hold onto the ball and you don't give a ref a chance to make a bad call. Period. Also, it's definitely not a given that the badgers were going to win the game had that not been called a turnover. Wisconsin needed an unanswered score and on the following two possessions the cougars scored a TD and the badgers turned it over on downs.
