That needs to be investigated to see whether the linesman who overruled the call had an "investment" in the outcome.
How in the world do the officials pick up the interference flag in the end zone?
- Thread starter Newell
- Start date
I don't know the rule...a tipped ball nullifies PI...in this case the throw was so uncompetitive it threw doubt into the situation, all you have to do is throw it near him and it's PI
Stil, should have been a hold.
It's just the pass was so bad I think it brought out some doubt.
But I don't know. Frustrating.

Maybe I just saw a bad angle, but--as blatant as it was--it didn't look like that receiver had any chance of getting to the ball before the interception.
It was bad but really dont think it would have changed the outcome of the game.
Interception was 100% on Rocco. He threw it right to the 2nd defender. No way ISU could have caught that pass even if it was a clean play by the primary DB.
It doesn't matter, the db had grabbed the TE and was throwing him to the ground before the INT happened. It was PI, the announcers did a good job of explaining that the TE was going to body him up and then go up and get the pass, but as he started to turn and jump the DB grabbed him and was throwing him down.
There was no way he could have attempted to catch it he was tackled by the defender.
It can both be an awful throw (it was) and DPI (it was).
If you are the ref that threw the flag, you CANNOT let someone else overrule you which looks like what happened.

I watched it back and it seemed likely catchable IF it gets past the guy who intercepted it and Brahmer wasn’t pulled backward. It looked uncatchable only because of where Brahmer ended up after the uncalled DPI and the fact it never made it to the area because it was intercepted by a jumping DB so far up the field.
Was it a bad throw? Yea. But a bad throw doesn’t necessarily negate DPI.
In my opinion, that should have stood as DPI.
Does ISU win? Who knows. But that was a bad miss by the officials IMO.

I still think refs should get a large base salary, but every miss they have deducts from that. People jobs are on the line with mistakes they make. They have to have some skin in the game. Can’t have a miss that large. Like that’s a multimillion dollar mistake in the grand scheme of things.
A missed call like that needs to be a stoppage of play from upstairs and overruled
It was, people are all caught up in whether the ball was catchable or not by the TE, none of that matters in this case, because the DB cannot hold or interfere with the guy running his route. Whether the ball is being thrown to him does not matter, it's still holding. Hell we see it called every game, a person not getting the ball is being held and they call it.

Exactly
Had we got 7 there (or even 3) might have changed strategies, etc and maybe we win....but after that we really were struggling so not sure it would have mattered.

- 1st and goal inside the 5: the way ISU was playing in that area the rest of game makes it very likely they get a TD; 24-21 Cyclones
- Kickoff and return might end up with Colorado in similar field position as after the INT, or maybe better; but the morale and momentum would be on ISU’s side
- Colorado didn’t score on the drive after the INT; their FG came after ISU went for it on 4th down at their own 20. Thei would not have done that with a three-point lead
- Campbell is known to lose focus after a really bad official’s call, and I’d say he definitely did here. That doesn’t happen if the call stands
There’s obviously no way to predict the “if” game, but I’d say picking up that flag and giving Colorado the turnover had a huge effect on the outcome.
It was like it broke Campbell and staff. It reminded me of when Cody Parkey broke Matt Nagy but in a smaller sense. Hopefully they can get it together out of the off week
We lost by 7. It mattered!
Yeah, I thought maybe the INT was before the DPI but it was not. Our TE was already being thrown down before the INT.
