Did Iowa State get robbed of points in their 10-7 loss to Ohio?

Ohio upset Iowa State on Saturday but a field goal that was ruled no good might be the biggest storyline coming out of the game.

The Ohio Bobcats on Saturday afternoon upset the Big 12’s Iowa State Cyclones 10-7.

While the Cyclones were less than a field goal favorite heading into the game, the win still is a big one for Ohio head coach Tim Albin and his program. It also marks the Bobcats’ first win over a Power Five opponent since 2017, when they defeated Kansas 42-30.

However, one of the major stories coming out of the win for the Bobcats is a controversial no-good call on an Iowa State field goal attempt midway through the fourth quarter.

In a 10-0 game at the time, Iowa State kicker Chase Contreraz attempted a 37-year field goal in hopes of getting the Cyclones on the board. The kick, which initially appeared to be good, was ruled no-good by the officials, keeping the score at 10-0 Ohio. A replay from under the goalpost would later show that the kick was, in fact good.

The Cyclones would later score a touchdown with under five minutes to go to cut the Bobcats’ lead to 10-7 but were unable to muster up another scoring drive. While Iowa State certainly didn’t bring their best effort on Saturday afternoon against Ohio and had plenty of chances otherwise, the missed field goal call will be one that may keep Matt Campbell and his program up on Saturday night.

Iowa State, now 1-2 on the season, will look to rebound next weekend as they host Oklahoma State. Ohio, now 3-1 this season, will travel to Bowling Green next Saturday to take on the Falcons in their MAC opener.
