I spy an amendment coming next summer.
After the Oklahoma Sooners returned to Norman following the Kansas State shocker, the Big 12 reached out to Lincoln Riley to further clarify how the controversial onside kick ruling was determined. Apparently, a player that is blocked into touching the ball has to be called on the field and is not a reviewable play. That means no matter how obvious such a situation appears on replay, if it wasn’t ruled that way before review, it can’t be deemed as such after the fact.
The Tulsa World’s Eric Bailey shared a quote from Riley in regards to the unfortunate oversight written in the rulebook.
