The infamous holding call

[Crookedhatkid]

It does kind of suck for both fanbases that bad calls cost each team a really good scoring opportunity. I can definitely see what ISU fans are upset about the hold call when I'm still having a hard time with the no call PI on Beyer.

Both of those questionable calls will definitely keep the fires stoked for the next year's game.

The refs let the line play as far as holding on both teams all game, as well as let both coverage guys get away with borderline physical play against WRs all game. All up until that 4th and 13 play when they called both. Now which of the 2 penalties on that play was actually the infraction? We both know the answer.

Can you link some videos/gifs regarding the coverage plays which were "borderline physical injury" for me? I posted the huge one on Beyer a few pages ago which probably cost Iowa 6. Thanks in advance.

I have no idea where the word injury came from in there. Edited.

The only real injury risk was the helmet to helmet hit by the Iowa player against Jones that didn’t get called.

If you want to know why they called the hold on that 3rd down play it is because they totally missed it on the 2nd down play at the 20:13 mark on Gholston. It was either a hold or illegal hands to the face and a no call. So the refs either missed that or made up for it on the next play.

Yeah you’re not insecure at all.

Seriously this is pitiful. You are just awful. You are so worried that you got a bad call to go your way that completely impacted the game, you’re here trying to make pathetic excuse after pathetic excuse.

You’re an exact representation of why all the other fan bases that have to deal with you hate you.

I agree with you hear, but how do you explain UNI and NDSU beating Iowa and ISU then? The team that made the most mistakes lost those games.

Right, I said against lesser teams, better teams don't always lose when they make more mistakes because they can cover some of that up with their talent. However, against good teams the margin for mistakes is incredibly small.

Spread for the game is ISU -19. I wonder what it would have been without the infamous phantom holding call and we go into this undefeated and ranked. I'd say ISU -22.5

Oh well, conference play starts this week!

That is a terrible look for Nebraska. They're about to play Ohio State and still have to play Wisconsin and Iowa. All three of those teams are going to make Illinois look like a pee-wee football team.

It's a physical league. There's a reason ISU will average 30-40 points a game in conference play and only got 17 vs a Big Ten West team with major problems in the secondary.

You'll get no apology from me that Kirk has his players ready for their biggest rivalry game and Campbell doesn't. Maybe with a few more years of experience Campbell will figure it out.

Only scoring 17 against that defense is inexcusable. So many mistakes.

I like Campbell's approach better

Word on the street is the Clones prepared all off season and the bye week on ULM. Certainly paid dividends.

Sharp money is all over ISU this weekend for their first conference game. I wonder why

Because Baylor hasn't played anyone and they suck?

Baylor was favored for about 5 minutes...

He'll have the Hawks figured out if he's coaching Ohio St and their talent.

So Iowa State has to go to a good Baylor team this weekend and Iowa gets some no name team at home. That SOS difference is going be huge
