Official NU-Iowa SECOND HALF thread

[chicagocatfan24]

We're not good. We're a game down in the race for our division.

You guys won. Beat us on D (you got more stops than we did). Allow us 3 Vegas points for the officiating.

The facemask was pretty bad I thought. I thought it was pretty clearly a facemask and the ref was staring right at him. I don't believe it swung the score of the game, but still hurt.

The non-PI where (I think) Quiero "face guarded" could have gone either way, yes, but not because he face guarded (not illegal) but because Quiero did make premature contact with the WR. Not a ton of it, but I wouldn't have been outraged had it been called, because it could have been.

The TD was CLEARLY a TD and a good call. No clue what the refs were bitching about.

The offensive PI non-call I think they had correct, but would need someone like GoCatsGo to elaborate on the rules there, cuz I can't.


Regardless, Iowa lost because they allowed 38 points to an incredibly mediocre Northwestern offense. I was SHOCKED they looked that good on O. McCall's tempo was great for the 1st and 3rd quarters

You guys won. Pissed about my Hawkeyes. I have respect for NU football.

If only we had Harris... Should have Harris... But someone decided to play him on kickoff team when we'd already lost a starting corner... Okay I'll shut up now

In Pat's defense, have you watched our kickoff coverage today? We unfortunately have to play some starters on coverage teams.

The weird thing was that Beathard never complained. I would guess if he got facemasked that he would be the one complaining the loudest. The replays seemed to show that he was pulled down by the uniform.

Good point I guess
