The awesome part about football is it gives you so many opportunities to win, regardless of bad coaching calls or bad refs or the weather.

Juuuuuuuust in case you forgot, this is the play that actually lost you the game.

Cheers and have a great year!

I'm sure there's probably several holding calls out there that weren't called on the clowns but they insist on just the call that suits their purpose. At least they are doing what losers do...…..CRY!

They're got bigger problems to worry about...

this is not a hold.

Thanks for that angle. Much easier to see him get tackled and dragged to the ground by the offensive lineman.

The refs finally called a hold on ISU, as they got away with holding all day long. Since the game spanned 6 hours I literally mean ISU was holding all day long.

In real time that looked like a hold, I was calling it when it happened and that's what the official saw as well. Generally when you see a lineman get tackled like that you think you see a hold. Now that I've seen several replays and different angles I maybe feeling differently. But the problem is the officials do not get the benefit of replay, they see and react to real time and at the time it looked like an obvious hold.

Is that the play you are going to let define the game? Were there no other mistakes in that game your Clowns made that could have changed the outcome of the game? That ONE iffy holding call puts ALL the blame on the officials????

this is not a hold.

Arm hooked = hold.
Epenesa pulled by his jersey, especially outside of the frame of the OL's body = hold.
Clown fan = whiner

It's a very close call. In all fairness, if we were on the receiving end of this call, we probably would be analyzing it ad nauseam as well.

The key is whether the tackle had hold of the jersey and used that leverage to throw Jones to the ground. As Jones first hits the ground it does look like the tackle has his jersey then lets go as Jones rolls away. The problem is that the guard's double-team shove also could have caused that momentum, so it's impossible to say.

As stated correctly above, the officials make these calls in real time. In the moment, it would be pretty easy to throw the flag in that scenario, and - the majority of the the time - they will.

I will add that our pass rush stunk on that play. We were so concerned about Purdy taking off that we let him sit back there in a rocking chair and survey the field in about as comfortable a pocket as you can have.

All the ISU whining about the hold call that was a hold is comical. Bottom line is ISU had another play and couldn’t get it done. When Iowa was actually screwed by the ref with the intentional grounding call, Iowa just sacked up like men and converted the 3rd and 22.
