The play was called dead, and Butler appeared to be down. As the Hawkeyes prepared to run their next play the officials stopped the game and announced the previous play was under review.
Following the review the officials determined that it was indeed a fumble and Minnesota took over at their own 21. As I checked my twitter feed to see the collective reactions of Hawkeye Twitter one tweet stuck out to me:
Just got really weird in the press box. Someone from the Iowa coaching staff dropped a torrent of cuss words on the replay officials booth

I immediately went to Morehouse’s twitter page to see which Iowa coach it was, or see if he had any more details and was shocked to see this follow up tweet
It was Brian Ferentz.
