For those not watching (and why would you?) Punt returner catches the ball, gets hit by a defender, spins and then runs it in for go ahead TD with like a minute left in the game. No flags. They review the play, everyone assumes it was to see if he stepped out of bounds. He stayed in, by inches, but obviously stayed in. Refs say he waved his hand, so it counts as a fair catch and ruled the ball down where he caught it. If it was a fair catch, they HAVE to give ax15 yard unnecessary roughness on the defense, because they hit him full on 100% live ball. But it wasn't a penalty, because there was no way that could ever be misconstrued as a fair catch. Never ever.

They didn't rule he made fair catch signal

they ruled he made an invalid fair catch signal, which he did, and the rule was correctly applied. The only difference between the is the defense doesn't get penalized

If you watch the play, multiple gophers clearly slowed up thinking he had called for fair catch and he can clearly be seen waving his arm

Dejean earlier in the game drew a fair catch interference when he initiated contact and pushed a gopher away from him. Gophers clearly didn't want to get penalized again

Tough break for Iowa

I get that you want to justify your team winning, but no. That was the worst bad call in the history of bad calls.

It is in the rule book

unless you're arguing they should ignore the rules

It's also happened before

B1G has even said they made the correct call

What is an invalid fair catch? Iowa sees go-ahead touchdown overturned in loss to Minnesota | Sporting News

Cooper DeJean's last-minute touchdown was disallowed after officials ruled he had made an invalid fair catch signal before fielding a punt.

Again, rule says you cant do what he did
you can see gophers hold up thinking he had, they didn't want to lay him out and get a 15 yard penalty (one he already drew by pushing a gopher on a PR)
