And Anderson's hand was before the blue line.
Camera angle and blue line are misleading unless the angle is straight on. Just look at the blue line, it isn't at 90 degrees. He might have been off sides, but the blue line isn't proof.

Watching the replay/highlights. It must have been 'line up in neutral zone' officially.
Agreed--I suppose it was close but nothing unusual.
If that’s neutral zone infraction, upon review how many do you think they missed both ways? Probably somewhere around 50 plays.
Horrible officiating there.
The fact it even was even a game at that point is frustrating. Another year in which we should have beaten Iowa by 2+ scores
Nothing changed from previous CMC game against Iowa, other than Iowa joining in with a few blunders of their own. One of these years perhaps we’ll not piss ourselves in this game

How many times have we seen plays with <5 seconds to go when the sideline pours into the field thinking the game is over and the coach and officials usher everyone back with no incident?
Is the difference the time on the clock? It felt pretty chincy to call that there, especially after they picked up a flag.
The 20 yard penalty was the best output by Iowa’s offense all day.

I feel like players routinely have entire helmet over and never get called. It looked to me like he wasn’t at all.
I really hope with Texas out and the conference getting more national we can change how we hire, train and evaluate officials.
Exactly. First, I'm not convinced he's in the neutral zone, but even if he is by like 1 inch, it's kind of crazy that ends up being a 20 yard penalty and is called at that time in those circumstances.
And then they willfully ignore the obvious holding that they could have made calls for.
It's not like the ref that threw the offside flag would have any idea that we'd recover a fumble and have players rush onto the field drawing another flag.
That sideline penalty is not called “all of the time.” In fact it’s never called in that situation. The official who made that call should be suspended. You can’t make a call like that which could have changed the outcome of the game.
Do you think that was the only helmet one millimeter over the line the entire game?
It’s a super weird call given the time of the game and I’m positive I could probably find ten more obvious infractions from both teams that weren’t called all game.
On top of it on replay I don’t think he’s even in the neutral zone.
Show me 20 of the 50 other times people were lined up in the neutral zone and I'll believe you.
It would take an act of Jesus Christ himself for me to feel to even remotely bad about a call in any ISU game, let alone against ToE IN Kinnick.
Bill Blank is the guy that shouldn't be allowed at the local high school game.
And probably an assortment of other public places.
I think the no call on Hutchinson was fine but the picking up flags after a live ref saw it and threw the flag on a subjective call like that is a problem. We all have nightmares of the K-state/Lazard game so needs to be more context when doing that.

“Other”? You saw even this instance was clearly in neutral zone?
Many dozens of times every game players line up that close or closer including lots of times in this game with no flag.
He wasn’t offsides and the sideline call was complete crap. The white hat had publicly announced fumble recovered by the defense. Kids were celebrating with their teammates. That gets called as often as “helping” which is to say never. That was dirty pool.
I think Hutchinson was aggressively covered, and I could see it being called both ways. I agree I still have PTSD from that K-State game a few years ago, but it annoys me when there are subjective calls like that where the officials change their mind seemingly with no explanation.
That call by itself wasn't terrible, but the string of calls together at the end of the game (or lack thereof w/ regards to holding) made it feel like we had to win the game 3 times before the clock ran out.
I do think he was probably in the neutral zone based on where his left hand is, close enough that it's not obvious was wasn't offside.
So show me them, that's what I'm saying. I'm sure a neutral zone infraction gets missed sometimes, I don't think it's "many dozen" or 50 in a game like you think it is.
