It couldn't be coaching could it?
Tell me how to post a picture from my iPhone and I’ll show you two obvious hold on whisky on 2 tds that really changed the game.

NCAA is BS. Always has been. I’m sure your Hawkeyes have taken their fair share. I’m just tired of it. If we lose, I’m ok. I just want it to be fair. That’s all

Really? Come on. We suck. Do you and your cohorts have to camp out here and continue to tell us that? The internet Hawkeye fan base is clearly proving to be the most pathetic in the history of online fan bases.
I'm just telling you that the coaching needs to take some blame too... You can't blame every loss on the refs can you? Blame all around starting with players, coaching and a poor defense. I see a lot of promise in some of your young players though...Coach them up!

Yes it is coaching. When almost every player on the team is committing stupid penalties or making dumb plays constantly, that's a coaching issue. It isn't some statistical anomaly that we have the ncaa's dumbest players collected on our team or that the refs only see our penalties and not the other team's.

No ****? For what it's worth, I never blamed the refs. You have absolutely no reason to be on this board other than to troll. Now, go away.

We mostly beat ourselves. Combination of lack of discipline, lesser talent, stupid mistakes, and not using AM effectively to his strengths (and not teaching him to go down before he gets creamed). This game should have been very close though. So yes, coaching is certainly to blame as well.

Slow developing plays.

If anyone here really thinks Foster really did do that block in the back is either blind or stupid.

When your known as a team that commits a lot of penalties its like a snowball going down hill; refs see that and hear about it and they are more likely to call it when you have that reputation.

I think you are right. The "block in the back" on the KO return was bogus as well.

I agree so why are we repeatedly getting penalized? Do the refs hate Frost or Nebraska? Is it because our record makes it an easy target to charge us those penalties?

It's because we're a dumb team that commits dumb penalties all the time, so we have that reputation and the refs aren't going to miss anything that even remotely looks like a penalty.

This was the first week I "understood" the penalties. The block in the back calls were bad calls IMO, really could have been let go.

Holding was happening because our OL and TE just couldn't handle their guys and Martinez hangs onto the ball way too long.

Other than that I saw one dumb PI on Jackson and a couple of facemasks/hands to the face.

The coaches are not out there playing for these guys. I fault to coaches for much in this mess but not sure if penalties are one of them. These guys are not just out their committing penalties because they feel like it or the coaches tell them to. Minus the personal foul penalties all other are because kids are not doing what they are suppose to and panic. Holding calls, are because our O line isn't talented enough to stay on a block for more than 1 sec. They know they are getting beat so they have to hold the guy. Pass interference our guy is getting burned or out of position, so he has to grab or hold the wr . Also right now every ref in the country knows we are a heavy penalized team, so they are paying extra attention. As we saw last night a team like wisc get more leniency.
Also penalties are not why we are losing game. Teams like Maryland, FL, Mich, Ohio st are right at that 8-10 range like we are. We are losing games because our Offense puts up 500 yards of offense every game but can't seem to score more than 3 tds and our D can't keep anyone under 40.

Somehow a ref can spot a penalty in a mass of humanity when NU is guilty, but Wiscy could get away with **** in the wide open.

I don't believe we are getting the benefit of the doubt. Not sure is Scott has a rep like Bo or what, but it is borderline ridiculous

many penalties over and over and over.
I listened to the Cal game last night and they had penalties just like us. Their offensive line gave the game away on penalties. Hard to watch in our case and hard to listen to in Cal's case.

We’re breaking records, in a bad way.
New offense. Fast tempo. It’s a bit of a change for these guys. ****, the refs can’t keep up half the time. But if it keeps the defense on their heels, I’ll jive with the penalties. Somewhat...;)
