Best part was you could basically see the offical come over mouthing he had no idea what was going on. I can count on one hand the amount of 20 yard penalties I have seen in 20 years and your going to pull that in last 10 seconds of a game that was essentially over. Good riddance.
Officiating at the end of the Iowa game
- Thread starter JUKEBOX
- Start date
The flag wasn't for PI it was for defensive holding, which it was pretty even for both WR & DB.
On the other hand, **** it because we've seen Iowa get some super lucky breaks over the years and maybe it's time they're on the other end of that deal.
I thought offside was legit and looked for flag on snap. Sideline flag was ********. I was surprised no holding calls on iowa's final drive, right tackle was jumping on top of the end when he was getting beat.
LT likes to get an early jump on pass pro
I didn't mind the refs picking up the flag on the Iowa PI against Hutchinson. I can see them not wanting to decide game on a ticky-tack (although probably correct) call. But then they called the sideline interference 15 yard penalty against gifting Iowa a field goal opportunity......You just don't call that. It had no impact on the game at all. Iowa State thought they had won the game and had a change of possession. Refs need to let that go just like they let it go every time someone scores and teammates/coaches trot out on the field to congratulate them.
I agree there wasn't PI on X on 4th down. But by the ref throwing a flag, in the moment he saw a penalty. To pick-up the flag after speaking with other refs, isn't a good look.
There is way too much hand fighting between WR's & DB's in today's game. The X TD that Moss complained about offensive pass interference was hilarious because Moss grabbed X and X knocked Moss's hand away causing him to lose balance and fall down.

I absolutely saw an obvious offensive hold before the ball came loose, and when they said there were flags down I told my wife, “It’s holding, they’ll decline it, game‘s over.” Then they said there were two flags, so I think, well, offsetting penalties, that’s a bummer. Then they announced both fouls were on Iowa State and I was like, but-what?
Thanks for the screenshot. The nose of the football is past the blue line and I thought in real time it was obviously offsides, but it looks much closer than I had initially thought.
As a Chiefs fan, I was having Dee Ford flashbacks when they whistled Anderson for the offsides

Yeah, when Iowa starts getting apology letters from the Big 12 over officiating then they can whine about it
Yes - that is generally a warning first, then a penalty if they don't listen.
Today they just bypassed the warning part unilaterally. Did not like that. But hey we won.
Totally, but we’ve outgained them for a while, they kept winning the TO and points stats…and the games. This is the worst hawk team we‘ve faced in a long time.
Since the ref is looking right down the line, I'll trust he got it right.
But just because Anderson's head is over the blue line means nothing based on angle of camera. Same principal of the railroad tracks coming together optical illusion.
Moss knew he was beat and was playing for the flag.
Line is just a TV estimate/rendering anyway...the football itself is the official neutral zone, and the nose of the football was past the blue line.
Iowa was holding entire play on all those last gasp plays.
If our defender was in the neutral zone then that’s something that should be flagged in 80-90% of all plays I’ve seen in college fb.
If any of the KXNO shows has Bill Blank on this next week he needs to be called out for this. His responses in the comments are just as bad, he continues to double down that the refs gave ISU the game.
