It must've been delayed, I was referring to the over-turned 2pt conversion. Looked like heel was in
I can't say it was in. But I have no proof it was out. Therefore, by rule the olay should stand?
It was a fumble.
But the officials also missed a holding/pass interference and and obvious face mask on Oregon that would have done quite a bit for Iowa.

It's been a long time since I've seen a Phil Parker defense miss that many tackles.
Obviously, there were other factors (long snapper, Moulton strangely jumping on that 2-point conversion, Gronowski inexplicably forgetting how to throw a football at times, miracle throw/catch on that last drive, etc.), but if you had to point to one thing - it was the tackling.
We make just half of those missed tackles, we win the game. smh

When taking a normal step, the toe of the shoe counts as part of the foot "down," so it was out. If he had kept the heal up while sliding out of bounds and never completed a normal stepping motion, it would have been in.
What's weird is if you watch the replay, Moulton actually jumped when the ball was secured and threw his feet out. In fairness, catching on edges is not his thing, but he had no reason to jump.
As far as officiating, I think we received a favorable spot on that 4th-down Gron run, so there were calls both ways. That said, on that long run by their QB, Sharar was blatantly held when disengaging and would have made the tackle. That miss was big.
