The refs stole two seconds from us on the last drive..

[12tb]

Look, it probably wouldn’t have mattered. But after the completion to Wick, we spiked the ball and 2 seconds ran off. But “before” the spike, the play was whistled for review. Those two seconds should have been tacked back on, and the play snapped at 0:18. They weren’t, and the second spike was snapped at 0:16.

If we had 7 seconds left at the end instead of 5, would we have ran another play to gain yards instead of try a long field goal? Who knows.

It probably wouldn’t have mattered. But the refs definitely messed that up.

They had a chance to tie it with a field goal, what more do you want? There were some bad calls that game, but officiating is so far down the list of reasons Iowa lost today that even mentioning it is stupid.

There are teams with live offenses that put up more in a game than Iowa has in the past four.

Yea, I agree. Officiating wasn’t the issue. But it was a pretty clear error at a critical point.

So

 

[HawK + i]

Refs stole a lot of things from Iowa in this game, but Petras stole the most from Iowa.

 

[BigDan21]

The refs spotted ISU a touchdown with that BS unnecessary roughness call on Cooper Dejean. ISU QB was clearly still in bounds.

 

[HawkLogic]

The offsides seemed a little marginal and that gave them a chance. I don't blame refs, that is for excuse makers.

Yeah breaking the plane is not a TD now and the ground can cause a fumble…

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

So basically they saved us further embarrassment... I approve.

Yes, and yes the kick was going to be left from even 25 yds

They spared us from having to watch anymore of that shit.

Screw two seconds. Ferentz stole over three hours from me today.

If we can blame Kirk and we can blame Brian and we can blame Petras and we can blame the f***ing media for not asking "tough questions"................we can blame the refs.

Tired of this sh** where people thinking they're blameless. And I'm not at all suggesting they're tops in the discussion for why we lost.

Biggest mistake by the refs was the unnecessary roughness on Dejean. QB was clearly still in bounds. Terrible late flag that was a reaction to the ISU bench. Horrible call.

I’d bet the final score would have been 7-3 if not for that call.

There were other bad calls but that was the most atrocious.

Yep...field goals aren't automatic this year.

When your defense holds an opponent to 3 points midway through the fourth quarter...and you lose the game ...the problem is not the refs.

Yea, I get that. I’m not blaming the refs. I’m just pointing out a factual error they made at a crucial time.
