If that TD was not taken away from Indiana it would not have mattered, then the missed FG did not help either, but the refs had no business over turning the call on the field, just flat out wrong & not fair to the players & coachs. The announcers even made a comment on "when your 8-0 you get those calls"
We have all won & lost bets over time, but when the refs are a deciding factor it sours us more thn the normal loss, maybe because we were not in on the fix@)
@). All kidding aside it is so wrong for the players & coaches who did a great job for 3 Q's, that reversal of the call on the field for some reason just broke Indianas spirit which was a sham.I was on the wrong side here as well as having the Dolphins last week

Ok, not necessarily saying it was fixed, but don't act like Iowa dominated that game by any means. If not for a lucky pick 6, it would have been 28-7 Indiana... not to mention the two TDs Indiana had taken away from them. Also a bad spot, resulting in an Indiana punt.
Oh, also, there were two instances where an Iowa drive was kept alive by a terrible penalty call, but Iowa threw picks right after both of them anyway, so justice prevailed on those.
But yeah, Iowa is real good....
Okay, If not for Iowa's 2 punt returners being injured, the newbie wouldnt have fielded that punt before half n fumbled, donating 7 points to Indiana along with momentum.
If not for the wind screwing up Donahue's drop on his first punt Indiana wouldn't have started deep in Iowa territory leading to a score..
If not for Stanzi throwing into the heaviest wind in the game in the 3rd quarter his 2 wide open receivers would have had TDs rather than Stanzi throwing 2 picks inside the Indiana 5, not to mention some floaters that started Indiana in Iowa territory..
If not for this, then this.. Could go on all day.. It happenned, legally. Therefore it wasn't 28-7 Indiana, it was 21-14, and Iowa raped the 2nd half 35-3, perservering yet again, moving to 9-0.
It happenned that way, and 9-0 confirms that.

That spot didn't lead to an Indiana punt, they went for it on 4th down and we jumped offisdes and the drive continued. As for the lucky pick six, if we had not turned the ball over 6 times our score might have been different as well. Those were all obvious mistakes on our part so I am not looking to place blame on anyone. But when people come on here saying that this "lucky turnover" or this "blown call" did this or that for them, it's bullshit. Like everyone else said before, don't miss two tackles when we are trying to run out the clock and you all cover and everyone just chalks it up as another lucky Iowa victory. Everyone would still hate the Hawks and they would all cash so it would be all good. Fuck.
