Fant

At least we know who Akrum’s heir apparent is now...
He hurt Debby's feelings
At least he waited until he got to the goal line to be "unsportmanlike".

Which is why I don’t think it was the dive. Had it been the dive, the ball would have came back out to the one and TD negated.
Could have been the ball flip after he landed. Either way, KF didn’t agree with the call by the looks of it. He was getting after the sideline officials.
Really? Are you sure about that? Once he crosses the goal line it's a dead ball, right?
That rule, as well as the high step rule, are garbage. Let the kids have fun.
If he dives (from the 1 yd line), then the ball comes out to the spot of the foul. That I’m sure of, as we’ve already been witness to once this year.
Edit:
Leap started right at the 4 yd line. Ball flip was very minor. No taunting. Very very weak unsportsmanlike call.

You don’t call that and make zeros calls over the skirmish on the kickoff. Call it loose, call it tight just be consistent.
Brutal call. I would add Nebraska blows
Why can defensive players showboat but not called?
Maybe it was a makeup call for Fant’s first TD when he gave the Mutombo finger wag.
I'm not sure if it was the same one, but after one of Fant's TDs, it looked like he bowed to the Nebraska fans (which I love btw- they are all pissed that NU didn't get him)
He was recruited as a defensive end by Nebraska and Iowa wanted him at tight end (obviously).
But yeah he had a Nebraska offer and they were, IIRC, going after him pretty hard
Of all the great TEs to go through Iowa in the last 15 years, the title BEST TE is Fant’s to lose when it’s all said and done.
I agree
but as long as it is in place the kids have to obey
as Kirk says "we have little margin for error"
And still he could be considered the best when it’s all said and done.. he’d be hands down(no pun intended) the best TE if he caught everything thrown in his direction.
It's possible
hopefully it ends up that way
I feel the same way about some other guys
Epenesa
Stanley
the team has multiple players with awesome potential
the question is: will Kirk bring it out, or suppress it?
Hoping he’ll bring it out! I have more faith he’ll bring it out after watching Akrum Wadleys carrer.. I was fearful AW would never get a fair crack with KF but we saw how that went! Hey, AW even fumbled the ball today we got it back and AW got the very next carry after the fumble.. never ever did I think I’d see the day a RB not named Mark Weisman fumble the ball at Iowa and get to carry it the very next snap!
I agree, and until he decides to lay out for the ball, he won't ever be the best. Seems to be that if he can't catch the ball with his feet on the ground he isn't going to catch it.
It wasn't the dive. Maybe should have been, but if it had been the dive, the TD would have been negated. It was the continued mugging after the score.
I think the ref was being kind. The dive was the penalty, but the ref applied it to the after TD celebration. Diving into the end zone like that is a penalty, a stupid rule, but still a penalty.
As for the best ever, lets hope he avoids the late career injuries that hit Moeaki and Kittle. Hard to believe Clark was still a Linebacker at the same point in his career. It will be interesting to see how the graduation of Wadley impacts the use of the TE in the red zone. With Young in the backfield we my see more pounding it in like with Shonn Greene or even Wiseman. This year, those plays went to the TEs in play action.

Worst TD celebration of the weekend goes to the wr from Ole Miss that scored and proceeded to imitate a male dog pissing.
Some of these kids are flat out stupid.
Exactly. If the dive was the reason for the flag, the TD should have come off and ball placed on the 18-19 yard line.
Just shows the total arbitrary nature of the rule.
The reffs can take away a score if they want to or leave it. Its just what the **** ever they feel like.
Good job ncaa.
My God, how many unsportsman likes would they call in a soccer game. People are fake falling all over the place.Maybe diving is ok, but falling to the ground is unspotsmanlike?
