Thinking more about Will Howard’s fumble into the end zone. The geometry simply does not work out. The ball last hit him inbounds about 2 or 3 inches from the sideline….it was that close. And it landed about 1 foot out of bounds in the end zone. Draw a straight line between those 2 points and it’s still out of bounds.

It went directly over the pylon. It was a good call.

I didn’t see a definitive angle which showed it going over the pylon. The math says htat least the center of the ball was 5 or 6 inches out of bounds. So unless I see an angle from above which shows that ball spun with long axis partially over the pylon, then the odds are that it never crossed over the pylon (which is completely inbounds)

It was the correct call based on the info they had.

The math absolutely does not say that. Even a little bit.

Lots of missed opportunities in this game for sure.

1. The pick 6
2. Fumble out of the end zone (it was a good call by the refs btw)
3. Howard missed a wide open Tate for six.
4. Smith didn’t come down with a long throw by Howard that would’ve set us up inside the 5 yard line.

What’s great is we had all of that and still won in their house against the #3 ranked team with an OL that’s only going to get better.

This is not a complaint either btw but just things that had they gone our way it flips the game into a route. A great win nonetheless and after being 10-0 in the first quarter that’s an awesome game to hopefully power us into the Indiana game.

I don't think you need to get paid to notice players aren't gonna be super jazzed when they're down in the 4th quarter against shitty Nebraska, but they are gonna be generally stoked while pushing a #3 team around in their house.

Acting like body language matters is fucking asinine. I bet Nebraska had better body language than Iowa did in the Shoe. Should the pollsters be given that pivotal information so they can properly rank Nebraska over Iowa?

How much money did I just make breaking down the absolute science of body language as it applies to teams who are winning and losing?
