Dude - that is some wishful thinking. O’Neil’s calls (everyone of meaning) go against us. The best replay overrule should tell you all you need to know. It is systematic, consistent, and deliberate!
Did you not see three consecutive TD plays called back? Wake up. It not O’Neil himself - he just reads the verdicts! It is the big10 It is like Studio a Wrestling! Pitiful!
Not that it had anywhere near the impact of the 3 you identified, but at least twice when Clifford slid at the end of a run they definitely marked the ball 2 or 3 yards short of where it should have been marked. Sure seemed like another example of them trying to cheat for Iowa.

oSU is and will be in the conversation - and the playoff. Everyone else is playing for 2nd.
Why was that? Big10 media and coaches! Surprise. Let’s ask to pay extra to stay in this Conference!
Per mega PSU fanboy Davey Jones
The Penn State Nittany Lions secured what looks now like an important Big Ten win by grinding through a 17-12 decision over a tough but otherwise rather pedestrian team from Iowa. To do it, they had to overcome their own mistakes, those of their coaches and most certainly a glaring one from a conference officiating crew that can only be termed incompetent.
Though I attempted to initiate a pool reporter to ask O’Neill or replay official Tom Kissinger exactly what process they went through to make the decision and who made it – not why they made it – the answer came back from the replay booth via the diligent Iowa media communications crew that “it was a judgment call” and no further information would be dispensed.
Again, when Jones is backing State, it MUST have been egregious!!
Agree. Absolutely disgusting display of biased officiating. There is no place in the game for blatant cheating. These clowns could have
Agree that we need to make a statement. The cheating clowns almost robbed these players of a great win. These kids train and work all 12 months and then some incompetent lazy ref can pull this horse crap and try to screw it all up. The Big Ten needs to wake up and do something fast.
Again, these guys are not lazy...they are doing exactly had planned. The plan: every single call that is remotely close will against Penn State - with special attention paid on impact plays (like PSU TDS). Following yet? This has been going on since 1993.
I think that call was going to stay as it was called on the field. No replay angle provided proof of whether the ground aided the catch. Certainly not as clear cut as Freiermuth's TD. The bigger issue on this play was the WR pushing Reid on the back so that he couldnt jump to make a play on the ball. Of course, there was no way that was going to be called.Looks like the ball hit the ground to me.
Lazy or malicious or corrupt or simply cowardly (just insert every negative and reprehensible adjective in here). Lazy from the standpoint that they won"t stand up and do the right thing. Letters by all Penn Staters need to be written to Delaney and his cronies. We need justice!
And if it is an orchestrated plan then get out of the conference. Any of the eastern conferences would take us. Lets swap with WVU and we will go to the B12.
You would think that any official involved in THREE blatantly botched replay reviews against the same team would be suspended or terminated. Apparently not.
