Well lets discuss it. By rule it should have been play stands as called. Zero idea how you overturn that given the available video.

I actually thought it was a good call. Wish the refs would have let it stand, but I think it was incomplete.

Bullshit. He caught the ball, and there was NO "indisputable video evidence" that shows otherwise. The call of a catch should have stood. But that Iowa can continually lose games the way they do IS indisputable. There goes the season . . . again . . .
 
They're going with the home team in that situation. But the game was not lost on that play. We needed 6 points and that wasnt going to make it happen

This. Even if it touched the ground while he controlled it, there wasn’t a camera angle that should have overruled the call on the field.
 
That play was an official’s pick. There’s a case for both sides.

It is an official pick, which is exactly why the ruling on the field should stand, always. With that said, no chance Stanley wins this game. He was completely inept today. Just awful.

You probably won't appreciate my perspective, but you asked for it.

I didn't think it was a catch. But I also didn't think there was sufficient evidence to warrant overturning the call, once it had been called a catch.

Unfortunately, the review process was quickly transformed into something it was not supposed to be: Second guessing. The idea wasn't to look at a call from several angles in slow motion and decide what happened. The idea was to avoid egregious, correctable errors.

Great perspective LC. Once I saw the close up I could see how it was overturned. We can talk about all things about these games, but the fact is they made fewer mistakes and more big plays. Yesterday PSU was better than us. A good team will learn and rebound . We’ll see.
 
Iowa still got close enough to chuck it into the endzone twice with 15 seconds left. That gives you like a 3% chance to win. What does Stanley do? 10 yrd pass incomplete, and then laterals to a lineman. And then the lineman tries to run instead of chuck it himself. Those decisions give you almost 0% chance to win.

These players don't seem well coached in some regards.
 
It has nothing to do with the ground. He didn’t have any feet in bounds after he let lose and collected it again. Had he not bobbled it it would have been a catch.

Bad throw, fine call.

As a PSU fan, I thought he dragged that right toe in-bounds just after he got control, and thought that the refs would rule it a catch. One of the toughest calls to make, and I may have missed the timing of his right foot and complete control of the ball.
 
The ball moved against the ground, showing not quite control, as he hit ground. Specifically, it moved differentially from his hands. If hands move with ball that shows control. That’s not what happened. It was actually fairly obvious

He tapped his foot with control, then lost control of the ball without another body part ever touching inbounds again. No catch.

You nailed it
