You can tell it's going to be super accurate based on how blurry the picture is, that increases accuracy by like 70%.
Officiating at the end of the Iowa game

My dad has been dead for 6 years, so I sure hope your dad can!
At least he doesn't have to read this thread and see HFCS scribble lines on a blurry screenshot, he's the lucky one if you think about it.
I have been saying for years that I don't know what the neutral zone is anymore. I will see guys lined up with both their hand and helmet or foot and helmet inside the length of the football all of the time with no flag. And then there will be a guy who it appears on the LOS cam to be just up to the nose of the football (a football, by the way that has been moved forward by the center as he tips it up which was an immediate flag back when I played the game but is let go all the time now) and he suddenly gets flagged. I don't care how they interpret it, but it would be nice if there was some attempt at consistency.

For all you who comment WHY some people are still complaining about some of the calls and telling us to move on, the Gazette story today is why.
Nothing but complaints from Ferentz: "Monte broke the plane, which would make it a touchdown," said Ferentz, "at least in the Big Ten"
Again, Iowa fans will maintain they never lost this game -- their head coach and their fans will maintain it was stolen from them

LOL, did someone then inform him that the reviewers were big ten reviewers so even the big ten said close doesn't count.
Doesn't matter to Ferentz or their fans
The game -- which they claim they could care less about but are still complaining about it five days later and a newspaper article in Hawkeye country was written about those "Big 12 officials" -- was stolen from them, plan and simple
KF’s a dumb s**t if he thinks in the B1G that’s a TD. He obviously is too stupid to know that the B1G officials in the booth didn’t think he scored either.
I sure hope CMC never whines and cries about officiating in a game his offense couldn’t do a damn thing and his defense gives up a 21 play 99 yd TD drive. We dominated that game and the score should have been a lot worse.
When you have by FAR the worst offense in the entire country, it looks really bad for your head coach to blame losses on officiating. But so many things KF does and says is cringe….. so it’s not surprising.

The timing of the penalty was terrible. There is no way as a referee you can be sure of something that close. What I would do when I refereed games is tell the guys they were crowding the line and I was watching them closely. It was too close to call in my opinion, and the opinion of most everyone who commented. If you are unsure you do not call the penalty. The sideline call was also terrible. That BS goes on all game and did not effect the play in anyway. Will is held on most every pass play, Hutch had his freaking left arm held down on the pass he almost caught in the end zone. To me holding the arm down is an easy call as it is obvious. Guy has two arms yet is only able to put one arm up to try and catch the ball.

Can you imagine the butt hurt if a PI flag came out on X and it was defensive?
I can imagine it. ;-)
Yeah. All the ticky tack hand fighting that goes on and is sometimes called and sometimes not called as PI, then you hold one of the guy's arms down, and there is no call?
I was thinking the call was defensive holding that they picked up. I felt it was PI but they didn't call that. I could be wrong.
We have one of the best dline coaches in the country. Very nice man when not coaching also.
that is what the referee announced on his mic, "there is no penalty for defensive holding"
