and gives it to the ref. The refs say he recovered the fumble. That's the worst call I've ever seen!
GBR!

The Refs blew the ball dead! The UM defender picks up the ball

Agree, it was a bad call. Hand was certainly moving forward. Someone must have bet on Michigan to cover.
You mean the Big Ten's darling programs get favorable calls from the replay booth?
Why, knock me over with a feather.
I agree it was. But still going to laugh because it's Iowa. Lol.
If it was against any other team in the conference, I’d be pissed and wondering about league conspiracy theories. But it’s Iowa, so this is fine.
(Swallows puke in throat).......Gotta give I_wa's defense props, extremely well coached.
Live I thought it was a fumble. I don't think they should have, but the refs blew the play dead before Michigan recovered. The call shouldn't have been reversed for that reason.
Hand wasn’t going forward when he fumbled. But whistle blew the ball dead before the fumble was recovered. That is why it was a bad call.
In 2009 Texas threw an incomplete pass in the big 12 title game and time expired. The refs put 1 second back on to let them kick a field goal and win. That’s the worst call I have ever seen. Ban me
Eh, I wouldn't go that far. I think Iowa got hosed on the call, but they were probably going to end up punting out of their own end zone anyway. Probably cost them 4 points.
It is kind of hard to see how Michigan made a clear and immediate recovery when the DB just let the ball roll to him, then picked it up and handed it to the ref.
But when one of their darlings is involved, the Big Ten finds a way.
You can’t blow a play dead and let players walk away from the ball and then reward the guy who happens to pick up the ball after the play was officially over. Horrible, horrible call.
I thought the funniest part was that the Michigan DB had to stand there holding the ball for a couple of seconds, waiting for the ref to stop blowing his whistle and making the incomplete pass signal, before handing him the ball.
I’m rattled! It makes me question the integrity of the league. After so many bad calls against the Huskers, I’m shook! The league wants UM as the #1seed in the playoffs!
B1G officiating is the worst I've ever seen but come on Iowa wasn't going to score lol
The original purpose of instant replay was to reverse calls that were blatantly erroneously called on the field. Now it has transformed into real time officiating where all aspects of the play are reviewed and interpreted. If a call is even questionable on the replay it should stand.
The MI player was never down if he recovered the ball, and fumbled it again by handing it to the ref. Big 10 refs are idiots, this time the whole nation could witness it. This league needs to get the ref thing corrected.
Funniest part of the whole deal is Kirk said he was told by an official on the sidelines that our QBs arm was going forward but not his hand. Huh?? I don't get it. And I'm like you guys as well when it happens to Nebraska I think its funny but this conferences officiating is a joke. It took new blood in the conference and just a little time for me to see it.
I'll tease Iowa fans as much as anyone but the officiating in the B1G is at Big 12 level when we were leaving. Pretty damned clear that the conference leadership wants MeCheatin' in the playoffs and they just don't give a shite how obvious it is.
