Celebration penalty - either the coaches didn't tell the players about it or the players ignored what they were told.
Personal foul - shoulder pad to helmet of qb who was sliding. The ISU player pointed to his shoulder pad indicating he thought it was legal because it wasn't helmet to helmet. Again either coaches did tell him about it or he ignored what they told him.
QB throwing a fit - not to make it bigger that it was but a Thursday game is a time to spotlight your team with the only college game on the air. Coaches should have cleaned up that behavior long before now. That's not an image you want to project to recruits.
Other observations...
Basketball players at wide receiver. I understand the concept but first the receiver needs to be able to 1. run a route 2. get open 3. catch the football OR 1. have tremendous speed 2. catch the football. If in addition to those abilities he is 6'5" tall then that's a plus. I remember one play where a basketball player reached out with one hand to catch the ball - it's not round - and deflected the ball to a defender which resulted in an interception. You don't always get a perfect pass. Good receivers adjust. When Wes Welker was acquired the Patriots he said they never tested his 40 time or his vertical. They had already watched him on film and knew he could run a route, get open and catch a football.
Uniforms. Are they trying to hide the fact they are a power 5 school? I was trying to figure out what the logo reminded me of and then I got it - an upside down ice cream swirl cone. If that's the new logo then I'd suggest making some contrast with the rest of the helmet so it can be recognized from a distance. Jerseys were an improvement from the Iowa game but for crying out loud establish an identity. People flipping channels are asking "who is Texas playing"?
Running game. It's still legal for offensive linemen to put a hand in the dirt and run the football.
