Draft stock is hardly the sole metric of current college ability. You’re kidding yourself if you don’t think hype comes into college accolades.
I’m sure he’s a fine player that has a lot of success in the Big 10. I’ve only watched him against Iowa State, and he’s honestly been forgettable.
I agree - but if we apply what the ref used to call our player for holding on that play, both Iowa and ISU would have racked up over 100 yds in holding penalties throughout the game - including that 3rd and 22. I think this is what Cyclone fans are soooo upset about. You decide to throw a flag just because you are standing by the Iowa sidelines and hearing the entire coaching staff yelling "Hold!, Hold!, Hold!" The ref turned into a gutless wonder and caved to a fictional call to avoid being chewed out by the Hawk staff. We didn't lose because of that call - but it DEFINITELY was a terrible call and it negated us having a real potential to win the game. (Oh, BTW, don't get me started on that "11 players NOT set for one second" BS call on 1st down -- My brother and I rewinded that play 10 times and there was one guy in motion and the rest of the 10 players were set for well over one second).
It’s almost like it was intentional
You've said that three times. The missed calls were all the holds during the game that don't get called. Then they call that garbage on 4th down on our last drive.
Yeah, I hear you - but that isn't the ONLY thing you are saying. Congrats on the win - but stop with the jacka$$ remarks.
What is it about teams with "hawk" in their nickname that makes them so delusional. Iowa is not a top 20 team, that defense will get torched if they ever play a team that has any semblance of an offense...and doesn't continually shoot themselves in the foot like ISU did.
Sadly, the Hawks' remaining patsy schedule and the fact that the rest of the Big 10 West sucks balls will only feed this delusion.
My issue with the holding call was that I don't remember them calling many holds on either team throughout the game.
Bad call or not, at least be consistent.

1. A loss is always the refs fault.
2. Eppie may not be very good. But remember, Clayborn had a "bad" senior season, and he still played in the NFL.
3. ISUs RBs should be able to see the hand-writing on the wall. The Big 12 is not a running league.
4. I love all the pressure that the DL and every-play blitzers got on Stanley.
5. If only we had 3 big plays, instead of just 2.
6. If the refs didn't hate Here's Johnny, he would have won 45% of his conference games, instead of 40%.

Should rename this the “Sore Loser” thread....
3 years before posting with this username? Impressive.
Nothing that could even be conceived to be a hold there. Not sure how a ref could think there was something there. Mistakes and not putting more points on the board when we had the chance cost us as well though. Too bad kene has been dinged up I think it would have made a difference having him returning kicks.
It was a horrible call, Iowa fans like to think ISU is the only team that complains about calls, every fan base does, when its a horrible call. Remember the Florida Bowl game, where the ref called offsides on Iowa during a squib kick 5 years or so.
Bad calls determine the game, they always have and always will.
