I am not a KU fan. In fact I am a former K-State football player so at best I am anti-KU. That being said, this was a pretty touchy call. It had all the looks of advantage gained but it may have just looked that way.
The receiver ran straight at the defender while running an out and both pushed at each other. The receiver then turned out and caught the ball. The contact was slight but it was obvious that there was some contact and the official saw it clearly. It is easy to see that the official saw the contact which looked to be initiated by the receiver and that separation happened immediately after the contact.
Coach Mangino has looked like that ever since I knew him. He coached at K-State before Oklahoma before KU. That was 13 years ago. While that may not be the best shape for a coach, he doesn't play the game. When he got the job at KU he was asked about his weight by an also very overweight newspaper writer from Kansas City and whether it would affect his coaching. Mangino replied, "Does your weight keep you from writing you columns?" Big laughs for that one.
