I didn't. I saw it from the start and was 99% sure he was faking. A ref was right there and I was crapping myself.

My favorite part about Saturday's win, besides the whole 'winning' thing, is that ISU played really hard, and that's ingrained, but didn't play all that well or smart at times and have lots to improve on.
Campbell alluded to it during the post-game and I'm glad they don't have the opportunity or time to be satisfied with what they've done so far. There was a comment or two about how his post-game speech wasn't all that epic. Works for me.
On one of the offsides penalties the LBer ran up to and over the line and just stood there offsides until the ball was snapped. Can't blame the refs for that one.
It is kind of refreshing for ISU to actually get a few of these calls. Part of it could be because they are winning and part of it is that they are frustrating the heck out of other teams because the Clones are not suppose to be making plays.

Definitely a hold/tackle, but the blocker did a good job of selling it.
I thought it was funny when the guy who took it back started taunting the SEZ near where I was and then it got called back
I think those are fair comments from Patterson. If I was him I'd want to review the penalties, too. But I think what he'll find is that although a handful of the holding calls could be described as ticky-tack, TCU got away with a few things too - there was at least one missed holding call on Turpin's kick return TD and I still don't know why Turpin wasn't flagged for signaling a fair catch and then taking off with the ball.
He should be more concerned with the playcalling on offense. Kenny Hill had the kind of game I had gotten accustomed to seeing from bad Jared Barnett back in the day. Why they didn't take it out of his hands and pound the ball on the ground is beyond me. They were gashing ISU running the ball.
In the end, it didn't matter. The better team won.

Lima's hands & punch are nasty. Still think the illegal hands to face call was the result of hitting the center's chest plate of his shoulder pads so hard that his head snapped back making it look like he hit his face.
Trent did the same thing with his 2 hand push-pull or whatever the DL move is & the TCU center had to grab him with his entire left arm. That holding call pushed them back after getting to the 2 or 3 yard line.
As to #9, he had timed up our hand slap cadence so well he blew by Campos for the sack. Campbell & assistant were immediately talking to Kempt after the play & we went voice cadence rest of game. The offsides with the non-pick 6 resulted from that change. Was thinking we should have done so earlier but nice to see the adjustment on the fly.

Good call there. I had forgotten about that play. He was in the backfield before Campos was even out of his stance.
Campos was well aware of #9 getting off so quick due to the hand clap, too & immediately lobbied for the change. I was thinking he'd get nailed with a hand clap & not snapping the ball. Guess that would be the hand clap version of the long cadence.
Lima’s hand activity is what I’ve waited years to see from our DL. He’s likely a natural, but Trent and JD have been better, too.
Or maybe the flag is for an offensive penalty? Not sure it's this obvious to many of the players in the fractions of a second between snap and action.
44 is tackled. 89 is held. 33 was borderline but probably fine. 44 is egregious and inexcusable to miss.
