Cooper DeJean vs 7 Gophers. Watch video of the "Invalid Fair Catch" from a Different angle. Jovon Johnson: "Worst Call I've Ever Seen!"
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
And here's a different angle of the play.
Watch:
all the people who say he waved it off and called fair catch and the gophers just backed off, will say this is proof
Thank god, though, he never plays offense. That’s a level of sexiness that would be incomprehensible.
Jovon, sure.
He wasn't calling a fair catch to begin with.
Have a great day.

Why does it always seem to be "worst officiated game of all time" or "worst call of all time" always take a win away from Iowa? It's maddening.
I don’t buy Cooper was trying to “keep his balance”. He put those officials in that position to make the call, hell the offense put the team in that position to lose that game.
And when the TD was wiped off, our offense only had to move the ball 24 yds to get in FG position and they didn't even come close.
Cooper looked and sounded a little bit emotional in a short interview clip I saw on BTN. He seemed deflated as in, "I put the team in my back, left everything on the field, and busted my ass to make a play only to have it stolen by some crooked suits."
I'm sure part of it was a culmination of frustration that's been building throughout the season due to the historic and pathetic ineptness of our offense. He's probably thinking, "What more can I do?"
I don't blame him one bit. I'd feel the same way in that moment right after the game.

Haven’t seen this posted here. I would like to see a typical CD fair catch video, compared to the video of him telling his teammates to get away from the ball.
I’ve noticed at least two of his typical fair-catch motion plays, is a quick over the head arm motion at the last second before he catches the ball.
What he did on this play is what he does when the ball is bouncing around.

This is an interesting tidbit.
Technically the right call but they never call it? If so, why now?

Terrible thing to say.
Is it me or from this angle, Cooper steps out of bounds with several of his steps on the white area??
But if you see it from other angles, he does not step out of bounds. I see 4 steps clearly out of bounds with this video, or has it been doctored???

Those are hash marks at a low angle.
Please review what follows and let me know if I got this straight.
* The on field officials said they were reviewing if he stepped out of bounds and that was all they were reviewing.
* See info below. The replay folks are not allowed to start a review of a possible invalid fair catch signal.
* So, based on the 2 points above, this should have been an Iowa TD.

its sad that we need him for defense, special teams AND offense.
There better be 2/3 of the punt returns called back next week because the returner moved his arms while moving to catch the ball. Since evidently that's how we are now calling it.
I agree it’s sad, but it’s nonetheless true that Iowa lacks play makers.
It really makes you wonder about Kaleb Brown. He’s not talented enough to see the field among the guys Iowa currently has? I’m genuinely asking.
but who called for the review? the replay official, correct? and if so, I don't think they can do that based on this:
These two things can also be true:
1. It was the right call
2. It was unfortunate the way it played out because CD was definitely not wanting to make a fair catch signal
Let me know if I missed something (I don't think he's on kick offs and kick off returns).
Cooper plays:
* Gunner on punts
* Punt returner
* Defense
So, we got him running all over the field already and we have to have him save our ass on offense, too.
LOL
And I don't know what happened with Kaleb Brown.
3 things regarding if it were the right call:
(1) the on field officials were only reviewing if he went out of bounds, nothing else
(2) replay officials can't ask for a review based on what follows
(3) so if no on field official is asking for the review and the replay officials can't ask for one, there's nobody left to ask for a review and the touchdown should have stood, imo.
It's all spelled out here:
Scrimmage kicks that cross the LOS are reviewable. The replay official couldn't assess a penalty, he just declared the ball dead were DeJean touched it.but who called for the review? the replay official, correct? and if so, I don't think they can do that based on this:
For ****s sake, no one is claiming it was a fair catch signal. No one is saying he was attempting to fair catch it. Why is this so hard for Iowa fans to understand?? It was an invalid fair catch by waving his left arm which stops the play dead once he touches it. My god people are dumb.
So you are arguing that the officials shouldn't have called the play correctly (as they did) because of a technicality? Thats fine, you may be right.3 things regarding if it were the right call:
(1) the on field officials were only reviewing if he went out of bounds, nothing else

It's all spelled out here:
What “the offense” did prior was NO factor in a piss poor decision by a referee……in Pittsburgh. You look at other angels of replay and his left hand/arm appears to be “steadying” him as #3 had apparently made a decision to field and play the ball before it was ruled “dead” or went out of bounds…..You watch the two refs who were nearest the play (behind #3 and on the sideline) and they make NO move to stop or halt the return……You watch PJ Fleck (standing maybe 5 ft. Away fron the play) and you see nothing but shock and disappear on his facew…..You don't see any Gophers backing of the play, either…..
Sorry swag….you and I see very little here alike…..I see UIowa football team getting screwed by a really piss poor referee’s decision. A decision that might ultimately cost UIowa MILLIONS of dollars in the conference play-off/bowl scenario coming up this December.
