Yup. Thats first thing I thought of too. You can’t be 100% sure his foot touched any white line. The announcers were acting all shocked but the reason it took so long for review is because they were desperately trying to find a way to call him out of bounds. That could have changed everything.On the Star Thomas run, there was no way "indisputable" evidence was seen on the replay. That play shouldn't have been overturned regardless of how it was called on the field. I think he planted the inside most part of his left foot in bounds and what they "thought" they saw was the outside edge of his foot barely on the white line. The outside part of the foot was likely angled such that it wasn't touching the ground. All this to say, you can't overturn the call made on the field.
I think the problem with the kick came from bad timing. The snap was a little wide and took a split second to get it down. I kicking foot looked to me to get there just a little off time. Maybe kicker saw it and flinched. Either way the timing looked off to me.It looked like just a miss. For the run back he barely stayed in bounds. All in all it was one of the most frustrating games to watch IMO since this staff has been here.
1) Botched field goal attempt. Simple.1) The FG miss. Was the hold good or anything else off or was it just a miss?
2)The OU run back for a touchdown. It looked like he stepped out of bounds on the big screen in stadium. Should’ve been reviewed it seemed like or Heupel should’ve took a timeout as well.
I'm 100% with you on this. It was as close as it gets but they should have stuck with the call on the field.On the Star Thomas run, there was no way "indisputable" evidence was seen on the replay.

2a) How Kitselman tied him up for so many yards and he didn't get a tackle out it from himself, or the myriad numbers of players that should have had time to catch up and assist while he had him tied up, is beyond me. Arguably a very frustrating Fumble 6. Not like the guy had after burners. I get the protection from would be tacklers once he got down field and came up lame. But, those first 10-15 yards ????1) The FG miss. Was the hold good or anything else off or was it just a miss?

By the time the guy came up lame, he had a hoard of white jerseys around him, but a couple of penetrating missles may have still got him out of bounds, if they had tried. By that point, I don't remember anyone being close or trying. But, they had about 20-30 yards of a limping walk-in to make a better effort. Probably why that play was such a deciding factor in the game. Not so much that it happened, but what didn't happen after. Set a tone for the rest of the game while Mateer came back to life and ran like a looter, until we decided time was getting short and bowed back up.Ethan Davis didnt make much of an effort to tackle originally and after the guy came up lame....
And Kit's attempt wasnt pretty for sure...
Snap and hold on fg looked good. Out of bounds was very close. I couldn’t really tell, but should have been reviewed.1) The FG miss. Was the hold good or anything else off or was it just a miss?
