Officiating at the end of the Iowa game

Pretty good angle on that fumble too. That Iowa didn’t break the plane.
The only call I'm bothered by is the sideline call. How on earth does that not get a warning first?

I need to see more video of this, but the official needs to use some discretion here. Huge call in a tight rivalry game.
Yeah, the offsides was debatable and honestly, so was the late hit OOB on Dekkers, but the sideline penalty was just stupid. You don't call that at that point in the game period. That's a sideline warning, not a penalty.
Purdy is listed at 220 on the 49ers roster, so it Dekkers is 206 he is, in fact, smaller than Purdy.

Moss had a lot of weight forward and on his arms holding on to X, When that was taken away… we fell.
Watching the video I have no idea how we got that fumble recovery.
The groans on the missed field goal were good for my soul.
The offsides call and the late hit call were both not debateable. Easily the right call. The sideline one seems terrible. But also, I’ve yet to see any screenshots or clips of it, so I have no idea what actually happened. From the little you can see on the replay of the airing, it looks like some guys went over and celebrated, but I can’t even tell if it was just players going on to offense celebrating or what, it’s such a brief moment.
Also, while I get it’s not a penalty because he’s moving sideways, it felt awfully shady how Iowa would always have their fullback move into motion right before the snap. Like he was just getting a head start. I think that also causes the refs to not call false starts, because their left tackle was pretty egregious With it and never got called.
I think that the offsides and late hit were the right calls, but they could have easily been no-calls.
Best guess we've got so far was that it was not a sideline warning but interfering with an official. That doesn't have a warning and is a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty on the team.
Pretty sure if you interfere with an official it's just 15 yards with no warning, and interfere doesn't have to mean make contact, if he has to run around a coach or player that's interference. If we had a bunch of guys run onto the field it seems possible that one or more of them could have gotten in the official's way.
Yes. When Iowa gets teams backed up into hat north endzone it's much harder to detect. Watch Iowa... they do a lot of line movement on the d-line on third downs and their LB's have a reputation for calling out a cadence and clapping.
The white hat announced over the PA that the ruling on the field was a fumble recovered by the defense. All our guys knew was change of possession and we had essentially won the game, because of what the official had announced!
Always was told that any sudden movements before snap (no matter the direction) was a false start. Once someone went in motion, they had to be in motion for more than a split second or it was a false start. A couple of those the FB was half a step before the snap.
Pushing a guy in the field of play who’s trying to gain yardage? You have a bad textbook.
