What were the refs discussing after the field goal?

I personally think the BIG 10 wanted NEbby to win the game. With a win, NE becomes bowl eligible. If they can get another team in a bowl game it looks better for the BIG 10 and means more money.

Or they wanted a good game since it was on btn and not nationally televised on Thanksgiving weekend. A Dabo kind of thing.
I really don't care. I know that had that game been gone over in film and everything called and called as it should be, we win by more than a fg.
I'm not going to complain about a win and it's a testament to the team to overcome and stay cool.

Id be interesting in seeing calls in the MSU Maryland game because Sparty was in the same position. Perhaps MSU was too much of a favorite for officiating to come into play.

Lovie and Illinois were fortunate to get that sixth win when they did. They ended up losing to Northwestern on Saturday.

Ok...

A few things, IF Duncan misses the FG Nebby calls timeout on so they say Nebraska didn’t call it in time?

What if they said Duncan taunted while the ball was in play and play not dead, thus 15 yard replay.

With that crew I could see any of the above playing out. I do believe money influences officiating.

Money may influence BAD officiating. Home crowds certainly do.

I don't think Iowa covered most lines. Didn't they start out around three or three and the hook and quickly spike a couple more points?

If in any scenario the refs were bought, they would still be safe as long as they made sure Nebraska covered. Maybe THAT is what they were huddling about immediately after Duncan made the kick.
 
As crooked and dirty as I’ve seen. The officials were actually making shit up with the horse collar reversal, Ragaini overturn and the targeting overturn. Each instance, they went against the rule book and overturned the call on the field.

Not a doubt in my mind they were trying to figure out a way to take that FG off the board

And missed Nebraska QB throw away a ball into his lineman's ass behind the line of scrimmage. They said no grounding with RB in the general area, but a lineman cannot touch the ball first.
 
Well I guess since college football is a boat load of money and usually with a boat load of money comes corruption. A person can come to any conclusion they want.
If it is or isn't, does not matter, it's how we respond that matters. Wizard of Oz teaches you about pulling back the curtain.
I have known for several years there is a God and powers that be and all I know is I hope he and they like me because I like them.
The rest is what it is.
I'll say it again, you could have backed that fg up 10 yards (making it what 59 yards?) You could have iced him 10 times, that ball was going through those uprights. Stanley was going to make those throws and they were going to be caught.
Now it's semantics if that was God, angels or powers that be and I for one don't care, because I go back to, I hope they like me.
For all things are possible.......

This was right after the FG before Frost even bitched. As soon as it went through they huddled up.

Maybe to double check the clock and the 1 second that was left? If it wasn't that or on if to flag Duncan or not it had to be about dinner reservations.
 
Or the Barrington Wade running into the punter where he was blocked. The asshole officials even discussed it for 15 seconds, then dropped the flag

Apparently Nebraska’s first offensive TD should have been called back. I didn’t even see this til now.

That ineligible player down field is what the NCAA needs to watch. It's illegal and a big part of veer style (sand lot) football. It's cheating and there is no way around that.
It's a blatant attempt to push the rules. If you give them a foot, they will take a yard.
Which as said, you can do less of, not more of in the NFL. So guys playing correctly and wanting to play on Sunday are looking bad against sand lot plays. All because the NCAA doesn't crack down on it more.
That's a disservice to the players. The score. Ultimately to the NFL and the game of football.

When a receiver like Ragaini makes a catch and takes a couple strides then he becomes a runner. And a runner cant fumble the ball by making contact with the ground. That is why that was a catch.

The on field ref made the correct call and the numb nuts bozo and White Hat who reviewed it were stupid.

I thought the whole what's a catch what's not was sorted out years ago. Dude had control of the ball clean. Took two full steps, went to the ground on his knee then his forearm hit all with full control of the ball then rolls totally over before it comes loose. If he'd just went out of bounds with it and done all that first it'd STILL BE A CATCH prior to losing control of it. So I just can't for the life of me see how you call it right to start with and then over turn it. It was only more obvious in slow mo replays then in real time. I can see how refs will hide behind the whole sticking with the original call thing. But not changing it when they had it right. WTF

Maybe, we are good, I'm not going to deny, but we weren't #1 and it wasn't even close.
We have room to improve, offense or not.
We had some games where we looked like a top 5 defense and others where we didn't.
I get what you are saying, but you can't blame it all on the offense. Look at Wisconsin. Yeah maybe had we converted one more time, but also had we stopped them from converting one more time. That was a extremely close game and a couple yards either direction could have made a huge difference.
But Wisconsin is only what is between us and Indy and we might be able to slow OSU down, but we need to do better on D (and O) to compete with them this year.
You are going to have to be elite to deny them. Wisconsin has a pretty good D too, what do you think is going to happen in Indy??

I think Iowa has the better D. Put Iowa's D with Wisky O including OC and keep KF s mouth taped shut and that team wins

You are correct. If a receiver leaps into the air, catches the ball but gets hit and either drops the ball or when they immediately hit the ground they drop the ball then that is not supposed to be a catch. And it is because they havent become a runner with the ball or made the catch.
