John Shinn The Norman Transcript DALLAS — Late in the third quarter Oklahoma had a huge shot at changing the momentum of the game when Lamont Robinson appeared to intercept a Colt McCoy pass in the back of the end zone with the Sooners up 28-27.
The back judge, however, ruled the Sooner linebacker didn’t control the ball when he hit the ground. The ball came out when Robinson hit, but he also appeared to take a few steps while he clearly had possession. Robinson, who was inserted into the lineup after middle linebacker Ryan Reynolds was injured earlier in the third quarter, was stunned by the call. “I had it,” he said. “I did.” Replays appeared to back up Robinson’s claim. OU coach Bob Stoops didn’t challenge the play. “I don’t believe I could have. Incompletions from what I understand aren’t (revisable),” he said after being asked if he could have called for a review on the play. “I know everybody is talking about it … From my understanding, all plays all reviewed.” If it was reviewed by Big 12 replay officials, it was done quickly. One play later, Texas’ Hunter Lawrence connected on a 28-yard field goal to give the Longhorns their first lead at 30-28. There was no delay for a review. “It was points,” Robinson said. “It was one play that could have changed the outcome of the game. It could have been a momentum change and momentum is a huge thing.”
