Jones (Alabama WR) slips. I was expecting a flag on the Horns.

Big East, and they're having a tough go of it right now.

Yeah I know. I was just saying the SEC refs always protected Florida and Alabama all season.,,and it seems to be continuing tonight (even though it is not a SEC ref team).

This isn't even subtle by the refs

Ah. Gotcha.

I re-watched that hands to the face call 5 times and I just can't see it. There was nothing obvious or blatant that even made it look like it, hand was at the top of the shoulder pads.

I saw him barely nick the facemask, but there wasn't near enough for there to be a call

Wager on this review?

From what I have seen, I think Iowa beats either of these teams. The only team I have seen in a bowl game that I think Iowa struggles with is Florida. Their offense was lights out. But then again I think most high school teams could put up 30 against Cincinnati defense.

But on the other hand, I would hate to see Iowa get screwed by the officials playing against an SEC team the way Texas is tonight.

And when Herbstreit said, "There it is, I think they got him for the facemask right there," the flag was already on the ground.

Never mind the Tate pick 6, Iowa giving up a punt return TD, or the Hawks sleeping through the first 3 quarters.

There were some brutal, horrible, terrible calls in that game that went against Iowa, but none of them cost Iowa the game.

Looks like Gilbert has started to find his go to guy.

You dont think that maybe it would be possible to get things going a little better if you aren't flagged for tackling, or flagged for getting ripped down by your facemask?

Yeah but that onside kick cost us a chance to tie the game. Football is a 60 minute game and they cut it a minute or two short.

Gut check time for Alabama now. Time to run the ball and get a couple first downs.
