Twitter reacts to Indiana Pinstripe Bowl loss after controversial field goal
By Jack Crosby
The Pinstripe Bowl was the best game of the bowl season thus far, but some think Indiana may have gotten screwed.
There were some that believed the Pinstripe Bowl between the Duke Blue Devils and Indiana Hoosiers could be one of the best games this bowl season. Well, after what we saw on Saturday, those people were correct.
Unfortunately, though, the game didn’t end without some controversy.
After Duke kicked a field goal in overtime to take the lead, Indiana went for their attempt to tie it up on their possession, and well, that’s where this happened.
It was tough to tell right off the bat whether or not the field goal was good, and the referees called it no good. Even more unfortunate for Indiana was the fact that the play was not reviewable, so the original call of no good was going to stand no matter what.
Still, there are a lot of people out there who believe Indiana got the shaft.
Indiana just got screwed over, that field goal was clearly good to tie the game

Indiana just kicked a field goal that was obviously good, but it was called no good. The play isn't reviewable. Duke wins.

Good lord.
It may have been good, it may have not been. But again, the real unfortunate part here was the fact that it couldn’t even get looked at.
