Iowa Beat Writers

Haha Moss was leaning on X so hard he fell down when his hands got knocked away. Lumping DeJean's unsportsmanlike into the conversation is a load of BS too, Dekkers was well outside the boundary when Cooper decided to shove him. It was text book unnecessary roughness. JFC, it's not even debatable.

Right, it literally does not matter at all if he's still inbounds. Lot of people still claiming this for some odd reason. Deckers was stacked up by 1 guy, driven into the boundary, and a second guy comes and forcefully shoves him violently while still maintaining contact with him while out of bounds finishing the violent shove. It literally makes ZERO difference that he "kind of started grabbing him an initiating the shove while Deckers was 1 inch inbounds" - it is textbook unnecessary roughness, 100 times out of 100. Why is this so hard to grasp? Whether you like or hate the rule, it is LITERALLY called all the ****ing time when a defense does that to a QB! We (rightfully) would have been livid pissed had that not been called.

It was also on first down, and did not extend the drive. We got 15 yards, and the officials made sure to give those 15 yards back (+5) to the suckeyes on the last drive - which, had they been successful at giving iowa their tie - would have been these single biggest ****job in the history of Iowa State athletics. TWENTY free yards for iowa's offense! My goodness that is INSANE that iowa was given that gift in that circumstance.

And why are you continuing to ***** about a call that you even agreed was called correctly - sideline toe tap catch? Dude got both feet down - that would have been a good catch in the NFL even.

Right? Like why do we need to stop the game and review a guy making a catch that would be good on Sunday. Maybe the Big 12 refs are good enough that they don't need 15 views of a clearly good catch.

Gotta disagree on this one. I rewatched and he was pretty clearly still inbounds.

Watching it live, I felt like the refs blew that call in favor of Iowa State. I also thought the penalties called against ISU in the closing minute of the game were downright awful, and gave Iowa a chance to tie a game in which it would have been almost unthinkable to have happen at that point. Bad calls really balance each other out, and in the case of Dekkers, a QB is protected, and probably going to get that call about 95% of the time.

TOE in freefall

Lol, if you're Kayden Proctor how do you still sign with Iowa in December? He has to be watching and thinking how little fun it would be to block for an offense that goes 3 or 6 and out nearly every single possession. Also not like the last few OL Iowa put in the NFL have done well either.

I really want this to continue into next week.

Wow, thanks for educating me, Gazette. I had no idea every questionable call went against the hawkeyes. I guess the Cyclones were lucky that they only were on the wrong side of calls that were absolutely clearly correct.

I don't know how anyone who looked at that second view of Moss hanging on to X's wrist and then falling down in the end zone when X breaks his wrist free can continue to argue with the call with a straight face.

And why are you continuing to ***** about a call that you even agreed was called correctly - sideline toe tap catch? Dude got both feet down - that would have been a good catch in the NFL even.

I was just happy to see us run hurry up and get a play off. We had Iowa on their heels and they didn't need a free timeout.

So ISU fans, the AD, or coaches have never complained about the refs before?

Nope. Never. We're above that.

I can't remember a coach doing it honestly. Fans and AD yeah but that's different

So ISU coaches have never sent a tape into the conference to be reviewed on questionable calls?

Way to spin it!!

That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about publicly complaining

Also what is hard to take into consideration is the whistle. The official is winding his arm to say he is still in bounds which tells me that he had blown the play dead. If that is the case it would have been a flag regardless of the sideline. A late hit is a late hit!

Our head coach isn't complaining about it 2 days before the next game that's for sure..

Exactly, It was all about tempo and nothing to do with concern about reviewing a clear reception. It worked as the next play was the 24 yard completion to X.

I can see Iowa not believing that the Bitters catch was good because they know firsthand that Petras could never make that throw.

 

[FerShizzle]

It looked horrible and his forward momentum was stopped. It was clearly ‘unnecessary’ roughness.

The thread completely void of hypocritical statements made by rival fan bases is located HERE

I think Kirk complained about it mostly after the game and this is what this article is from? I can't read the article because it is behind a paywall, so could be wrong.

 

[CysRage]

Lol, you do realize you are getting duped into Kirk and Brian Ferentz deflecting from the real issue?

 

[iahawks]

For the record, I thought Potterbaum was in before the fumble, thought the Dekkers shove was fine and that the ISU WR was juggling the ball on his way to the ground. I was fine with the no call on the X TD. Both were handfighting and X won.

I can see why Potterbaum's review wasn't over turned. If it was called a TD on the field, then I don't think it gets overturned either.

I also thought the end of the game was handled pretty bad too in Iowa's favor.
