Video: Kirk Ferentz Not Pleased with Officiating

Officiating didn't lose the game for Iowa. Lack of execution lost the game. They had an offense Iowa didn't.

It sure as hell helped lose the game. Those were 4 atrocious calls, all in crunch time, all against the same team.

They were all egregious. The more I think about it, the more those refs can suck a golf ball out of a fat man with dysentery's ass.
 
It sure looked rigged. Bad holding call, bad no-call on the ISM pass, bad PI/ no call offensive PI. All on the last 2 drives.
It's the timing, back to back holding calls, not called the entire game on the crucial drive that would have allowed Iowa to salt away the win. The uncalled push off by the Purdue receiver to give them a touchdown on a play our defender was about to make on an underthrown ball. I could go on and on.... People will say, Iowa fans always blame the refs., I didn't against Wisconsin. Iowa lost that game, but against the last two opponents, Iowa got the screw job when it counted. Oh, they did call a meaningless holding call on Purdue when they had the ball on the 20-yard line at the end, but no call on the 4 and 2 play that looked like Iowa had completely sniffed out. It really makes you question the integrity of the game. I listened to all but the 4th quarter on the radio, the announces thought that Purdue touched the ball late in the game after a punt, but it was not reviewed. Was that just Dolphin making noise?

The offense we didnt have scored 36 points. But we didn't have an offense.

The defense on 4th and 2 had a chance to get them off the field one last time and make Brohm look like a fool for passing on a 47 yard field goal. Instead Blough did his best Drew Cook impersonation and Brohm looked like a genius.

No they never reviewed that play. That's one thing KF NEVER does is challenge anything. There's a lot of calls that never get replayed for the Hawks but they sure do if it's against us.
