I think it was Harvey that was dq'd, which was the right call....then one of our defensive lineman was hit up for when the QB turned his head into the lineman's(forget name). If I recall, they threw the flag, didn't dq him but gave Washington State 15 yards. All I am saying is by the letter of the rule......they blew it. Flag it...look at it....then decide. If targeting is such a big deal that is what they should do.....no exceptions.
The infamous holding call
- Thread starter CyTwins

Well it does. If a receiver is in the area no matter what else happens it's not grounding, even if the pass doesn't go beyond the LOS. Blown up screens happen a lot where the QB clearly just throws it in the ground in the area of the RB and it's not grounding.
In this case it was not past the LOS, nor was there an eligible receiver in the area, which is why it's grounding. It's clear, and not sure how anyone can argue. #68 was there, but he's not an eligible receiver, so he doesn't count.
The infamous hold was a disappointment, and my angst with it was the call being inconsistent when looked over the entire game.
The call I have biggest issue with was the open field H2H ... crown to crown, lowered head to make the hit. No flag. why not?

I have literally never seen intentional grounding when a player's arm gets hit. Seems that happens quite a bit and it is usually reviewed to see if it was a fumble or an incomplete pass, but I have never seen it called for intentional grounding. I think they got that one wrong too.
I'm still really surprised the obvious PI wasn't called in the redzone on Iowa's last scoring drive. The dude was riding Beyer like Seabiscuit. Really would have liked Iowa's chances punching it in after the 15, but oh well.
It wasn't inconsistent, it was non-existent.........until that last drive. And had our special teams been able to get out of their own way, it would have been interesting to see what they would have found to call that last minute of play.
This hasn't been talked about enough. This was really bad.
Yeah, it was pretty poor "coverage" but D- might be a little harsh. He got away with it so can't hold it against him. It's an unfortunate call, but what can you do?
I have been saying it since it happened.....by the letter of the rule.....anytime a player leads with the crown of the helmet it needs a look.

We're entering F category...
One issue I had was when Geno Stone cramped up in the back of the end zone on our last field goal drive. He gets treatment from the trainers and comes off as required for one play. Iowa State calls a timeout to figure out what they want to run, and he comes back on without us running a play.
This is not allowed, which honestly I didn't know until Oregon vs. Auburn this year when Herbert got hurt, Oregon called a timeout before their next snap, and Herbert tried to come back but the refs wouldn't let him because they hadn't run a play yet. That is something that every ref should know, and it is not a bang-bang play, you just have to be paying attention. I don't think it would have made much of a difference, but it does show the general incompetence of some refs.

Yeah, you might be convincing me more an more. Tough to score the coverage much better when you see the still of it and it's clear the tackle is being made while the ball is still 4 yards away.
Wow......they let that happen? Didn't notice that. I hope these aren't the best officials the Big Turd conference has.
Someone could double-check me on the replay, but before we called timeout they sent #1 out to replace him, and I didn't see him on the field after the timeout.
So much this. Tons of people don't understand the difference between a bad call that happened in the first quarter versus one that happens on the last drive and last down of a one-posession game. If a team gets a bad call in the first quarter, they have time to recover and adjust. Last down? Not really. People need to stop saying both things are equal.
Deserved a look. Anything questionable like that should get a look if the objective is to protect the players
