Army´s defense, with Chad Wilt coaching the D-line, has given up just 47 yards and zero points.

The replay officials for this game should be fired and banned from football for life. Chains had been moved for Army first down. Replay refs ordered ball to be respotted and measure
That is impossible to do accurately

Even if Coach Freeze doesn't know him, he should make a phone call.

Ballcoach, I hope you are toasting with your canteen cup and eating your favorite MRE to celebrate the WIN.

Now can you get their DC to come our way?

No kidding. They held Oklahoma to 21 in regulation; 28 after OT. Oklahoma’s next lowest point total was in the Big 12 championship, 39 against Texas.

Loved watching them tackle. So sound.

No, I missed that. I had the game on, but was grading papers, too.

The gave them a pretty good spot but seemed like a really tough call to overturn.

I thought they got the spot right on reply. How that affected where the chains reset is another story

I have been member of chain crew in my younger days. Once chains are moved and set for first down, with ball spotted, it is impossible to go back for a measurement. And get it right. The replay ref was apparently sight impaired. Ball and chains should have remained where originally spotted. First down Army.

They didn’t have video replay or the forward pass at those games though :lol:
