The infamous holding call

Can we at least agree that this excuse is negated by the 2 ISU drives basically stopped by bad snaps due to ISU’s center being out, and Iowa’s only TD drive occurring because of an awful punt due to ISU’s punter being out? I would say that is a wash.
No. I'd have to run add in the 2 long off tackle and counter TD runs to the left side that AJ would have opened up and the pick 6 Hankins had coming. At minimum we have to take the two long TD passes back with these guys in.

Oh so completely made up stuff...cool. I will add the 2 fake punts that Corey Dunn would have busted for 60 yard runs to the house.

So it is officials discretion if his motion was significantly affected? They determined it wasn’t, so even it were reviewed you know it would stand. This post only hurt your arguement.

Of course it is their discretion, but it was really obvious he was hit as he was throwing the ball. I have literally never seen that called before.
 
The same Hankins that got picked on by Miami of Ohio? Lol!
Yeah, in fairness Miami only put up 14 on our starting defensive backfield with their starting freshman QB playing away. ISU lit us up for 17 with two starters and two reserves out, at home with a really good QB.

Because you are slow I will explain that the point I was making is how stupid it is to say how things would have been different if guys that were hurt played. I only see one fan base doing that. Why not add that Jay Scheel would have scored a TD for Iowa if he wasn’t forced to medically retire?
 
ISU's special teams were pretty awful and probably the difference in the game. The short and low punt, deciding to return the ball from the end zone resulting in a drive starting at the 6 yard line, the obvious fumble blunder. Those were all key plays.
Sucks to lose a game because of horrible special teams play but we've been there too (wisc. last year). Probably will cost the Clones 1 or 2 more games this year if it's not cleaned up.

Or maybe schedule a BYE week before the ISU game so Hawks can get players healthy?

Iowa fans are really dumb at times. We aren’t complaining our our injuries but apparently Iowa only gets ones that matter.

We can go Iowa dumb and say if our Aussie boy want hurt he would have hammered a 60 yard punt out like he did when he conventionally kicked last year.

So how many starters would need to be out before it started to matter in your opinion?

Jay would have graduated in 2018 BTW.

It was also pretty obvious that Stanley was just trying to get rid of it and it backfired...

He was outside the pocket though. All he had to do was throw it past the LOS there and he could have put it in the first row. His arm got hit and they called intentional grounding. You could almost call intentional grounding everytime the QB's arm gets hit when throwing.

I 100% agree. Iowa made some boneheaded plays on special teams against Wisconsin and it probably cost them the game.

FOR THE 40TH TIME HAWK FANS COLLEGE RULE IS A RECEIVER HAS TO BE CLOSE.

A pass in the stands is grounding.

Exhibit A on why ISU fans find Iowa fans insufferable. The ISU fan offers a reasonable area of common ground, only to have it thrown back in his face with arguments that basically amount to "Iowa is just that much better than ISU."
