  • During the college fotball game between Iowa and Minnesota, Iowa thought they had taken the lead with under two minutes after a Cooper DeJean punt return touchdown. However, after a lengthy review, the play was overturned as DeJean slightly waved his arm before catching the ball. Iowa then threw an interception and lost by a score of 12-10.

      Every TD is automatically reviewed that's why the refs were able to go back the penalty. Either way it honestly could have gone either for both teams considering the wave was kinda iffy as well as the reactions of Minnesota if he did wave fair catch is kinda suspicious.

To everyone who said it was the correct call, that wasn't even what was being reviewed, and if it was a rule, why did it take them close to 15 minutes to make their ruling? I know it won't bother me forever, it's just that our offense has no offense. Our defense and special teams are the ones who are scoring. It is so frustrating.

      @@RawUncutFishing It's been 8 days now, and I finally quit letting it ruin my day on Friday. I don't think I've ever been that pissed off for that long before that happened. I've had to read so many comments about it being "the correct call" that I was ready to punch holes in a wall, but I finally let it go. The fact that not only were there no whistles, no flags, no screaming fits by Fleck or the rest of his team, just feeling dejected as they saw their win going down the drain after Coop made it into the end zone, like us, Minnesota was anxious to hear what the review was, and when they made it, PJ got totally pissed off over the Iowa fans throwing crap onto the field that I don't think he realized what a gift he had been given. At least we still had possession of the ball, and only needed 20 yards to make a field goal. I can't remember if it was the first or second play, but we threw an interception, and at that point, it was Minnesota's game to lose. They got to enjoy a feeling that hadn't happened since 1999, so there were some people who were thrilled with the outcome that day, and I'm happy for them. If our offense sucks this bad next year, I pray we find somebody who can build our offense to what it once was. Brian Ferentz was tasked with rebuilding our offense or he would be penalized where it hit him hardest, and he hasn't risen to the occasion yet this year.

    Usually Punt returners do *"instinctly"* wave for a fair catch near the sidelines to avoid getting creamed. The Gopher players was surrounding him for a possible fumble. Not a run back.
    Besides, it doesn't help the instant replay started when the punt returner caught the ball. Not from the middle of the field to the ball. It's also obvious the two guys in the booth was clueless. They wondered if he stepped out of bounds. Not if the retuner signal for a faur catch. Which he did. Making the play dead when he caught the ball.

      I doubt that. I think the rule was made to prevent deception on caught kicks, because those are the ones where guys aren't allowed to hit you. You cannot fair catch a football that has bounced. What would the strategy be in faking a fair catch and then letting it bounce so that guys can tackle you as soon as you touch it? Sounds like a recipe for turnovers, not extra tds.

At the time of the left hand waving he is 15 yards from the ball. And the thing is, everytime since about 4 games ago, Dejean has done the same hand gesture since a hawkeye player got hit in the back by a ball during a punt. There was no attempt to raise his hand above his head and to make that call only after he had scored the go ahead touchdown is sus. There was refs watching the play live. The call was made by someone who wasn't even on the field.

    The thing that bothers me about this is that nobody knew the rule. The returner clearly didn't know the rule. The Minnesota players didn't know the rule, they went for the tackle. But worst of all, the referees didn't know the rule. They didn't blow the whistle until much later, and even then they said they were looking to see if he went out of bounds. Even ESPN, when describing it later, misstated the rule.

      The lack of blowing the whistle is the problem here. It shows the official clearly did not think the returner was signaling for a fair catch. Should not be reevaluated in the video review. Obviously it’s not a penalty, but it would be a dead ball situation that was not called on the field.

      Also the rule specifically says you can’t perform a “waving motion” and he isn’t waving. He is making a circle which is coached specifically to avoid it being confused for a fair catch.
      If the rule didn’t have nuance, then running would also be considered waving your hands below your waist.

    • @undeadarmy19
      @undeadarmy19 Před 7 měsíci

      That would make sense if the defenders stopped pursuing him. The reason the rule is there is to that you cant signal for a fair catch, then catch it and run anyways while the defense has stopped trying to get you.
      You can clearly see in the video that not a single defender stopped trying to tackle him. If they thought he'd signaled for a fair catch, why would they try to tackle him as soon as he caught the ball? If that was the case, they should get penalized for a personal foul.
