KF said in post game that DeJean waves his arm in his normal running posture so I rewatched the return. Other than pre-catch, I must have missed him waving his arms in a circular motion while he ran.

He's stunk it up against good competition. Not sure if this is a good move
"Illegal hand signal" ? That's proof that this guy has no ******* clue.
Almost as bad as the "illegal fist in the back" BTN StudentU wrestling production several years ago. (P.S. They meant "stalling".)
Trent’s going through some stuff. Monday show/podcast is gonna be lit
Same. Wife and kids and dog sleeping but I’m out east so it’s late.
They’re off to the Taylor swift movie tomorrow so I can rake leaves and figure out how to win back my gambling losses today. Haha.
Iowa needs more mental health professionals
Yup. Drag a TE to that side with him and it has a much better chance of success. One thing Miami always has is speed. Even a good running qb is going to have a tough time getting to the edge if they don't bite on the fake.
On a different note, dozens of passionate Stanford fans out this evening to watch their freaky ass band.
Before posting, perhaps you SHOULD do more research to back up your "it happens all the time & isn't called" argument. I have no sympathy for your Hoks since it was technically correct according to official rules. You can legitimately whine on this site when you get jobbed on actual bad calls (ex: our 2017 game vs KSU when 3 flags were picked up and waved off by refs that were NOT the ones who threw the initial flag - the last one where Alan Lazard was being mugged by a CB would have resulted in a first down assuring us a victory).
Penix is overwhelming heisman fav. Might throw some on Marvin Harrison jr at 30:1 before the night is over
Not surprised at a letdown after that Oregon game. Think they’ll still win, but so flat
True Sickos game given the teams, the time, and the network (FS2):
Nevada 6, San Diego State 0 (F)
Nevada snaps a 16-game losing streak.

They literally didn't change the outcome of the game. Iowa had the ball at midfield with 100 seconds and 3 timeouts left. All they needed was a FG. The top 127 D1 football offenses win that game.
Yeah, when Minnesota punted to them from where they were, I thought it was over even before the run back. Iowa would go get a FG and escape with a narrow win.
I even said in the thread that DeJean would return it for a TD. The Boats played it too conservatively, but it worked out.
I saw in Cooper’s post game interview he made similar comments, saying he was just trying to keep his balance and keep from going out of bounds or something since he was so close to the sidelines. I think the reality is probably just that he was full of adrenaline in the moment and wasn’t really thinking.
I’ve spent too much time tonight reading about the play and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s just unfortunate. I acknowledge by the letter of the rule that can be called. I think the intent of the rule is so people don’t try to game it and give ambiguous signals that could be interpreted as maybe a fair catch.
But you can’t convince me that any Minnesota player thought that was a fair catch signal and for that reason similar stuff happens all the time and is almost never called - especially not overturning what was called on the field to change the winner of the game when we started out reviewing to see if he stepped out of bounds…
I don’t think any Iowa fan disagrees that the offense is an embarrassment. Instead of trying to get into FG range with the offense, we should have just tried to recreate the punt return every down by putting Cooper on offense and long snapping to him and telling everyone else to just block.
