Iowa State’s football team might’ve gotten a rotten stroke of luck after a missed field goal might not have been missed after all.
On a crucial kick with 7:28 left in the game, Cyclones kicker Chase Contreraz tried to bang it through the uprights on a 37-yard attempt.
However, the referees waved the kick off as no good, which kept Iowa State down 10-0 to hosting Ohio. However, a replay might’ve shown that the referees blew the call and that Contreraz’s kick was actually good.
ESPN announcers John Schriffen and Rocky Boiman played the kick back and felt that it just grazed one of the uprights and should’ve been called for three huge points.
It’s especially difficult for Cyclones fans since Iowa State wound up losing the game to Ohio 10-7 instead of getting an opportunity at an overtime session with the Bobcats.

What do you think? Was this kick good, or did the referees get it right by calling it as a miss?
It’ll be a play that tantalizes Iowa State fans all season as the 1-2 Cyclones start the early portion of the regular season on a less-than-stellar note.
