I saw this on twitter but could go on @GTO list of options.
ISU should have played the "Safety Dance" as yesterday was ISU's third straight game getting a safety.

I'm not sure where I see any push off on Butler's TD, small or not. The defender was draped all over him at the start of the route. Here's a clip (should start about 3:30)
That’s because that clip doesn’t show the up close replay. He definitely pushes him at about 3:38. Watch the full replay and ESPN showed a replay that blatantly shows it.
If you look at the 1:50 mark you could say Wesley pushed off of Ruth’s shoulder pads to keep Ruth down and to sky over Ruth. I’m just pointing this out to show nitpicking calls can go both ways. I wouldn’t call either offensive interference.
Yeah, he definitely pushed off. I think the ref let them play through it because the Tech defender was also all over him earlier in the route.
Purdy with his outstretched arms after the TD reminds me of Russell Crowe in Gladiator. "Are you not entertained?!"
Yeah his best runs were when he got to the edge although I'm not sure it was designed.
I said this in the game thread but DM seems to dance just a bit more than needed on those inside plays.
Maybe just a bit but he probably also wanted his other arm/hand available to catch the ball.
Side note imo ESPN is better at portraying the atmosphere of a place after a TD, ex. Spears's return. I didn't pick up on the atmosphere nearly as much in the WV game and apparently the place was going bonkers.
I'm hoping Heacock and Campbell are showing us only just what they need to get the job done until we see Texas and then...BOOM! Only to be superseded by the game plan for the Big 12 Championship Game.
I was at both. the crowd for Tech was nowhere close to what the WV game was, in terms of being loud, cheering on every down on D, etc. Way better at WV game. I havent watched this one on TV yet, but at the stadium it didn't compare.
Eh, it's also very obvious that he was held earlier in the route. Good example of a "play on" situation.
All the great ones push off. The timing and technique is everything.
Agreed. Even said it in another thread that I felt the refs were very consistent on both sides on what they were and weren’t going to call for PI. Just pointing out to the poster that said he didn’t see any kind of a push.
Huge win for the team. Not as huge as Nate Stanley, but still huge.
Supports ISU. Insults Iowa. And makes a fat joke about their QB. This is about as close to a perfect poll choice as I'm ever going to see.

The thumbnail of that video was not a catch.
