I didn’t read through the game thread so this may have been discussed, but why was the hit in the UNI QB flagged as a personal foul?
I actually thought the one they picked up was closer to a foul than the one they went with but, alas, the next perfectly called game will be the first.They implemented a rule a year or two ago where you're not supposed to land with the brunt of your weight on the QB. Even by the letter of that rule, I still don't think it was the right call as our defender put his hands out to try and break the fall. There was a similar call on Dom Orange on the first play and they picked up that flag.
I believe it was because the defender landed on the QB. Or is that only an NFL rule?I didn’t read through the game thread so this may have been discussed, but why was the hit in the UNI QB flagged as a personal foul?
The way the ref and Campbell were talking about it at the the next game break, it looked like it was more about where the helmet was placed on the initial contact. Atleast that’s the argument the white hat was making based on hand gestures.I believe it was because the defender landed on the QB. Or is that only an NFL rule?

I’m not saying I agree with the call at all. I’m saying what it looked like the white hat was saying was that hit helmet hit Day too high. Campbell clearly did not like what he was hearing.The defender put his face mask in the QBs chest?
IMO, there were a ton of ‘sympathy’ calls against the ISU D. Holding was the only way UNI could keep their QB injury free.They officiating crew blew this call. They also refused to call a holding penalty on UNI. Our d-line was getting held all game and they just swallowed the whistle.
