A Blatant Missed Call Gave Kansas State A Touchdown In The Big 12 Championship Game And Fans Are Furious

With USC’s shocking blowout loss to Utah in the Pac-12 championship game on Friday night, the TCU Horned Frogs may have secured their first-ever bid to the College Football Playoff.

The third-ranked Horned Frogs entered Saturday’s Big 12 title game against Kansas State at 12-0. TCU topped the Wildcats 38-28 in their regular-season meeting.

And even with a loss, the Horned Frogs figure to grab the fourth and final playoff spot.

But that’s far from a sure thing.

The Horned Frogs were in a similar situation in 2014. They entered the conference championship week ranked third in the country at 11-1. But in that year, the Big 12 did not have a title game. Ohio State blew out Wisconsin in the Big 10 championship game and jumped the Frogs, who fell all the way to No. 6 behind Big 12 co-champ Baylor.

So TCU fans have some reason to be concerned.

The Horned Frogs looked strong early on against the Wildcats, taking a 7-0 lead. But Kansas State hit back, tying it at 7-7 late in the first quarter on a 6-yard touchdown pass on fourth down.

But the play should have never happened.

Kansas State tight end Ben Sinnott, who caught the touchdown pass, clearly false-started prior to the play.

Had it been called, the Wildcats would have faced fourth-and-6 and may well have kicked the field goal.

Instead, it was not spotted, and fans were absolutely fuming.

Kansas State then continued the momentum and took a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter on a QB sneak by Will Howard.

The Horned Frogs are probably playoff bound either way. But they may want to make sure to win this one. Y’know, just to be safe.
