Hawks are always bitter. They know they will always have 1-3 losses per year and are ok with it.. their best team ever still had 2 losses

It is funny to see the posts that tie bad coaching to plays that resulted in penalty.. can’t have it both ways unless you just like to complain... example: Chinander sucks, don’t blame the refs. However, he had the right call
With good coverage at the one but got a bad officiating call. How was that bad coaching?

As an Iowa fan you know how many times I've watched us beat the piss out of NW for the entire game only for them to pull some BS out in the last 3 minutes of the game.

Officiating might have been questionable at least but this loss is on coaching. Yes Frost and his staff! So many head shaking decisions....

It's not the ref's fault. The Big 10 is just a tougher conference top to bottom than the Big 12. Especially the mid tier Big 10 teams are better than the mid tier teams in any other conference. Nebraska would beat a good handful of teams in the Big 12 this year, but will really struggle in the Big 10.

Northwestern is a trash team. They aren't good at all. When we were decent, not great, we would have beat northwestern by 4 TDs every year.

When you're averaging less than 3 penalties even only having 2 penalties is going to be a big drop percentage wise.

Yes they were average 3.1 per game @ 34 yards per game. Today was way under their average in yardage. And all games had at least two “ judge-mental penalties”, none today.

So maybe they played perfect ball today. The refs called no penalties on them today. Offsides and illegal formation and basically all the 5 yard penalties are not penalties called by refs. They speak for themselves. And It’s not the lack of penalties on them that ticked me off as much as it was the BS they called on us. IMO our kids cleaned up a lot of sloppy play today especially bonehead plays that cause a flag. I feel refs were quick to throw anything close at us and that’s just sorry cause our boys worked their asses off today and don’t deserve this. Out secondary doesn’t deserve to get called for ticky tack PIs every week. It paralyzes their ability to really play receivers tight

Im not sure that is true, but what does that have to do with the horseshit officiating we saw today?

Um, wow you're right. Northwestern didn't go 99 yards in 1:47 with no timeouts. They only really went 84 yards in 1:42 with no timeouts. My bad - the refs had everything to do with that last scoring drive.
Alright, i agree we still could and should have stopped them.
But i refuse to pretend that a 2nd and 10 at the 1 is the same situation as a 1st and 10 at the 16 is. ask an OC or DC or QB if its the same.
It was a horrible call that affected the game. Period.
I have been critical of the staff, too. The refs were horrid today. Beyond normal.

It’s complete BS to say the kids just have to make a play when they’re being penalized for making a good play. Multiple times. No one is saying we don’t have room to improve. But losing a close game where the other team was given multiple critical first downs on BS penalties matter. Again, we Still should have won, but we screwed up and that hurt us more than the refs. But the refs contributed.
Abso lutely.
our defense was essentially handcuffed.

The problem I have is that they passed 64 times and not one holding call, that is damn near impossible to do. We should have won the game despite that, but damn it does make you question things.
yes and in the first half there was the most blatant hold against neal, the OL was surprised there was no flag.I

Disclamer we are to blame for the loss, its ok to point out ref bias and still expect better from coaches. Dont freak out.

I'm not so sure that's true. Who would NU be favored to beat in the Big 12? Maybe Kansas and Baylor? A handful would insinuate roughly half the conference.

The mid tier teams in the Big 10 are not better than every other conference. This is a completely ridiculous claim. The Big 12 and SEC mid-tier teams are are easily better than the mid-tier teams in the Big 10. This may actually end up costing both conferences to the point that the Big 12 may not get anyone in the playoff and the SEC only 1 team. Meanwhile, OSU will likely waltz into the playoff unscathed.
