If Iowa scores a TD, I wonder what Bush and Leinart will say at halftime. Or if Quinn will troll them.

 

[Churchillin]

This is my least favorite part of the replay rule.

Idiots like Dean Blandino say "Oh, on a close play like that you can't blow the whistle. You have to let it play out in case it was a fumble."

Then the same idiots will say; "Well, the call on the field was a fumble so you really have to have conclusive evidence to overturn that."

Just get the call right. In this case I think they djd.

You make a good point, but as far as this call goes, the helmet hit the ball well before the QB's arm was moving forward, jarring it loose.

 

[iowajerms]

WTF was that last penalty? Don't want USC to get blown out penalty?

I'm fine with either call on this one. I thought it was incomplete pass, but definitely close. I just hate that whole thought process precluding gettingbthe correct call

Look at all this Iowa speed.

Where the hell was this Iowa offense when they were playing Michigan and Wisconsin?

They aren't playing Michigan and Wisconsin.

They are playing a P12 team.

They werent playing usc defense

Several holdings not called on this drive.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

USC lacks a defense.

Fewest points allowed in one game all season was 14, most was 56 by Oregon.

Average is 28 per game.

USC is making Iowa's 99th scoring offense look stellar

 

[Churchillin]

I see it as an advantage if people keep believing that. If I was Kirk I wouldn't dispute it no matter how untrue.

How is it not intentional grounding when a QB is in the pocket and throws a ball 15 yards out of bounds? Lol

Feeling spry; Iowa got all the breaks. SC gets possession next.

It’s a ball game.

Beware; our QB will turn 19 next year!

Fight on!

How many stout shutdown defenses are in the PAC 12 or Big 12 for example? Would None be fair to say? Targeting & PI called all over the place!
