Was able to make on of this as well. Looks even worse live as you can see the sideline judge mark it slightly short anyway but wave the chains for a first. If you look to the top you can see the yellow line is, if anything, slight short of the actual first down marker to begin with.
Theyh aren't starting a seniors on the OL, which is the good news. The starters -- as you point out -- have significant experience already, which is the bad news.
It's also early in the season ... just the first game for the Clones ... and it was with a juggled line. Weren't the clones spending most of the time during camp having Newell at C and Good-Jones at LT?
Yes. But with the cancellation of the SDS game, Campbell didn't want Newell (freshman) to see his first collegiate action at Kinnick against Iowa's DL.
Big XII refs just guess at ball spots. They screwed up more than once in Saturday's game.Was able to make on of this as well.

If anyone want's any others made, of some big hits or good plays or something let me know.
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. It feels like Iowa's DL is pretty salty this year, probably need to get a few games down the road to see how the ISU OL will stack up in the B12.
That's what I figured ... but that's also probably contributed to some of the difficulties that ISU was having on the OL. A big part of OL play deals with knowing what to expect from the guys next to you. Thus, if they had been practicing all camp with one primary group ... then it can throw off some of the continuity and communication to have a different group.
Are you the Ghost of the Iowa State board? Remember me? You and I played for the same HS team, only several years apart. And you played on an undefeated team, which I never did.
The only Big XII team with a DL comparable to Iowa's probably is the one ISU faces this week. Which is not encouraging, because the only way to beat OU -- the way ISU did it last season -- is to keep the ball away from them and score points.
I didn't play. I was the heart and soul of the team as student manager.
Agree, that's why I said ISU fans might have to get a few games further before the truth is known. I suspect OU will be out for blood this weekend.

You're family owned the truck stop, my dad was Al Johnson, owned the drive in. You graduated with my cousin Joanne Johnson.I didn't play. I was the heart and soul of the team as student manager.
No, I don't remember you yet....jog my memory. I was class of '64. We went 9-0 my senior year. Had two common opponents with Podolak's Atlantic team and beat both worse than he did, weren't ranked because we played too many Nebraska teams.
There was a poster here a few years ago who was the son of a really good halfback on that team. He misunderstood something I wrote and got pissed at me.
Someone just requested this one but deleted their post. Anyway, good find on what looks like a punch by 10 on Young (look above Wirfs). Guess it could have been to the shoulder but Toren's head looks like it moves quite a bit.
I do believe that this can be submitted to the Big 12 for punishment if they want to. It was definitely a punch. That’s Peavy and if he would have been tossed that would be a huge loss for them.
I think refs sometimes overcompensate in an effort not to be influenced by the home crowd. This seemed like one of those times to me.
Looks to me like a Hawkeye -- 38? -- takes a cheap shot at Peavy after the play is over.
First off it should have been a no brainer anyway, so not sure why we should have to gold plate things for the refs to get it right, (much the same as several of those ridiculous spots). Its also not that easy to make the perfect pass when the guy is running out of real estate towards the back of the end zone. Lets cut Nate some slack. That was not a bad pass.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't need to be targeting to get an ejection. Any player throwing a punch to the head, could be ejected, I think, if the refs thought it was flagrant enough. Of course with the refs from the school for the blind that we had Saturday, that would have been very unlikely.......
so many blind people in this thread, that is the play where Hockenson caught a pass and was slammed to the ground and Peavy was standing over Hock and Young gives him a shove off of Hock and Peavy punches Young.Someone just requested this one but deleted their post.

My point was that even had the DB not made contact first, based on where the ball hit the defender it would have been a tough catch. I didn't say it was horrible, but it certainly could have been up higher where the big guy with great leaping ability could go get it. In any case, yes, it should have been PI.
Game is over, and Iowa luckily came out on top, but I can't help but wonder what would have happened if this PI was properly called. Talk about a momentum killer, what a joke. I think Iowa wins comfortably (17pts +) had we gotten the ball on the 2 and punched it in.
