The play clock being at 0:00 was very clear.
On that: is that a turn over since it was 4th down or replay of down with 5 yard loss?
Giving up that big of a play on a 4th down was pretty bad regardless.

Blaming refs is losing mentality. How about not fumbling and not leaving it up to the refs? We have snapped the ball after the play clock ended before too where we didn't get a penalty. How about not getting totally burned by the the receiver on that play?
Refs didn't have a good game, but we lost not because of them.

Apparently, being relegated to B team television coverage also means that you get B team officials. Who knew?

Congrats on the dumbest post of the weekend.
I was only half able to watch this on my phone while out to eat with my wife. From the angle that I saw, I thought he was down. I think somebody else mentioned another angle. Does anybody have a screenshot of that?
There is an angle on Twitter that my kid showed me where you can see his foot never got close.
100% agree. For those of you keeping score, he’s also the guy who had the ball bounce off of him on the final kickoff late in the 4th qtr against the ToE in 2019, resulting in the ToE recovering the fumble and our offense not getting on the field for a possible final drive.
The bellyaching about refs on these threads are embarrassing. I know these losses sting- but if we play like we’re supposed to, the refs aren’t a factor.
If you have followed Cyclone football for the last 20 years- you know one thing: never, ever leave the game up to the officials. We’ll lose every time.
The officiating was horrible, but good teams find ways to overcome it. We need to be better- simple as that.

Good teams do not overcome giving up TDs that are not touchdowns, nor do good teams overcome scoring TDs that are ruled fumbles. Good teams also still struggle when they pick up first downs that are marked yards short
yeah it doesn't really matter what conference we're in (assuming they all have similar policies around officating)
we are not going to get the benefit of the doubt in most scenarios, so our team needs to be good enough to overcome the margins of bad officiating
it's a little harder to completely fix games if our ol, dl, and skill positions are dominating (unless they throw out key players for bs targeting calls or something) -- if we have good depth, even that wouldn't matter too much
I was at a wedding and missed most of the second half. Hall’s fumble that bad?
Ultimately the story is that the defense finally had a bad game. Don’t know if it was the matchup or a letdown, but they need to pull it together.

The officiating sucked.
Our defense might have been worse. I'm not willing to give them a pass just because the officiating was bad. We made Doege look like an NFL guy yesterday and that dude SUCKS.
Name another team in this league that constantly gets screwed over by the refs, and we will then stop complaining about it. The sorry thing is the exact same thing happens in BB also.
As a former HS coach, I get reffing is difficult job, but there were a couple of calls today, that just leave you shaking your head. The clock hitting zero on the one touchdown, a ref is assigned to make sure the ball is snapped before that happens.
We got screwed over twice yesterday on poor calls that the replay did not show enough to overturn in our favor.
None of this makes up for the poor play of the defense for the majority of the game, lack of tackling, little to no pressure on the QB, and the 10 yard cushions that we were providing on every play.
The last two weeks we have had DB's double cover a WR in the endzone and either just not see the ball or miss jump and in both cases gave up a touchdown. Play the ball and either knock it down or catch it.

here's the video with one angle of the breece hall fumble -- the officials signaled it as a touchdown on the field but then changed the ruling on the field to fumble before the review
then after the review said the ruling on the field stands (despite it looking like potentially the knee + elbow went down and maybe the ball passed the goal line)
this was after a string of questionable/toss-up/missed calls that all went against iowa state (that resulted in touchdowns for wvu)

ISU overcame it last week when a TD was taken off the board for no reason.
They shouldn’t have to overcome it every single week.
Hall did not fumble on the goal line. There is indisputable evidence that he is down while he still had the ball.
There is no excuse for a replay review to be that wrong.
