Controversy in Iowa City? Key 3rd-down catch for Iowa ruled incomplete on review
Iowa has been chipping away at Nebraska’s lead all second half, and the Hawkeyes have a chance to tie the game late. Unfortunately, one big play by the Hawkeyes was wiped away by review.
Facing a 3rd-and-10 play, quarterback Alex Padilla was immediately forced out of the pocket by Nebraska’s pass rush. Just as Padilla stepped out of bounds, he unleashed a huge throw down the field.
With the cameraman late to follow the ball, the action initially took place off-screen. What did happen was a huge throw to Arland Bruce that was ruled a catch on the field.
The huge play was a massive pickup and initially kept the drive alive. Unfortunately for Iowa, the play went to review and was eventually ruled incomplete.
Here’s how it happened:
WHAT A PLAY!!!! 👏👏 WHAT AN EFFORT!!! 👏👏

So, what do you think? Should the play have stood as a catch, or was it incomplete all along?
