Minnesota upset No. 24 Iowa 12-10 on Saturday after officials overturned what would have been a go-ahead punt return TD by Iowa's Cooper DeJean with just over a minute to go.
Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz looks to an official for a touchdown ruling during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Minnesota, Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023, in Iowa City, Iowa. Minnesota upset No. 24 Iowa 12-10 on Saturday after officials overturned what would have been a go-ahead punt return TD by Iowa’s Cooper DeJean with just over a minute to go.
As the ball was heading toward the sideline, DeJean was pointing with his right arm and waving his left arm out to his side. The wave is what officials said was enough to invalidate the return and Iowa was forced to take over at the spot where DeJean got possession of the ball. According to the NCAA rule book, “A valid or invalid fair catch signal deprives the receiving team of the opportunity to advance the ball. The ball is declared dead at the spot of the catch or recovery.” An invalid fair catch signal is defined as “any waving signal” by a member of the receiving team that does not meet the requirements of a valid fair catch signal.
