Miami Duke game. The ones we had today were just as crappy. Horrible spots, no pass interferences and no holdings. Thank God for the win, but damn.

They weren't that bad.

Let's not complain after a win. Indiana probably doubts our TD to close the 1st half.

I completely agree --- they were terrible and the spots were atrocious. It is typical on here after a game that when we win everyone wants to hold hands and sing songs together.

It's complete BS to get those types of spots in games == also, the obvious holding on the sack at the end that wasn't called.

I doubt it too, but I'm happy they gave it to us!

They were bad!!!!!

It looked like the helmet of the D was in the end zone when it hit the ball out of CJ's hands. Luckily the camera angles were such they couldn't get a better look at it and overturn the original call.

 

[StormHawk42]

Spots sucked. Other than that, whatever.

 

[hawkeyedan505]

If you didn't think they weren't that bad today, they you weren't watching. But yes, thank God for the win.

 

[moral_victory]

Those were excellent spots today!

 

[bravelittletoaster]

they were for sure bad, multiple calls were atrocious.

 

[Magic Dave]

The bad spots seemed to come from the same ref!

 

[Hawkeyeforlife77]

College officiating is notoriously bad at spotting the football.

The guy at the top of the screen have half to a full yard on every single play, for both teams.

 

[20Hawks14]

It was terrible spots for indiana and terrible spots against iowa. Drive me nuts

 

[Hawknado]

I expect one or two bad spots in a game but it seemed like 80% of the time the spots were completely wrong! It started to get almost comical.

 

[2for3]

No complaints...look at the replay on CJ's td leap..our tackle held and body slammed the Indy LB all in one in one play...it was bad both ways

 

[HawkinMN]

CJ scored the touchdown, barely. I'd say he was across the goal line by maybe an inch or two at the most.

I thought I saw that too. On the replay it was out of frame from a different angle. The one that got me was Tayvaun Smith getting annihilated. I really think if he wasn't done for as long as he was, that late flag wouldn't have even been thrown. I disagree with a lot of the targeting calls these days, but that to me was as clear an example of why the rule is written as it is, and why it was created in the first place. I think the nature of it dictated an IMMEDIATE flag, and as those are reviewed anyways, then it can get overturned if it didn't look as bad as it was. It was blatant. I would think the thought process here would be error on the side of player safety, as that's why it exists in the first place.

And spots were terrible. And you can't argue that one, as that stands as one of the few examples I can ever think of where replay overturned a spot. That NEVER happens. Unless it's off by a LOT. And it was.

 

[herecomethehawkeyes]

that was a pretty ticky tack interference call on Indiana's last scoring drive.

 

[Courtsensetwo]

The spots were awful. Both ways. The entire last drive of the first half was bad. The targeting call and the actual TD/fumble.

Neither team is very happy with the officiating today.

The better team won, congrats. Iowa is more physical than I expected.

As always, a great Saturday in Btown...but we need two wins.

 

[TS568]

I was so glad Indiana kept dropping passes I didn't even consider other slights. I don't think we played our best and damn they could have made us pay. 9-0!
