It was a fumble though. The ball was out before his arm moved forward. That was pretty clear from the replay.
He was starting to move his arm, his hand was still behind his body when it was knocked out. Clear fumble

I guess I missed the segment today but apparently Ross got divorced and was pretty emotional talking about it. May have to go back and listen to the 2nd hour podcast.
Man that blows, this is the first I am hearing about this. Ross is a great dude, wish the best for him and his kids.

I heard an audio clip of KF saying that he didn't understand how the arm could be going forward without the hand. This isn't friggen cricket where they throw with a goofy locked elbow. The elbow moves forward before the hand does, and the rule is tied to the hand.

How a D1 athletic coach can fail to grasp simple human kinematics is beyond me, but then again, they aren't exactly known for their ability to coach the QB position.

There are a lot of topics that Kirk struggles to grasp the meaning of.

When you lose 26-0 I'm pretty sure that 1 play was the only reason you lost...

Did the Iowa offense ever cross the 50 yard line? Not talking about when they started deep in Michigan territory. Did they ever actually march across midfield?

I think the answer is no, which highlights how the supposed bad call had no real impact on the final outcome.

It was a really ****** call but the end result is probably a 22-0 game instead of 26-0. That game was over after the punt return.
Correction:
That game was over after the first field goal. :)
