Saturday night the Nittany Lions went into Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City and battled one of the toughest environments in all of college football - Kinnick Stadium at night. When the dust settled, Penn State walked away with a 17-12 victory over no. 19 Iowa to improve to 6-0 on the season.
This was a great win for Penn State. There were a lot of fan whining online about the officiating crew, headed by John O’Neill.
Due to O’Neill and his crew, this Twitter recap will be different than most. Instead of focusing on the game’s high and low points, this will be a John O’Neill bash session. Let’s get ready to unload multiple built up years of frustration on the most corrupt referee in college football!
From the second O’Neill was announced as ref, Penn State fans were pissed.

Good GOD… we have John O’Neil officiating the #PSUvsIOWA game..
— Jason (@Jkauf55) October 12, 2019
DAMN IT lol
As the game progressed, the anger of Penn State fans grew. Penn State was called for multiple phantom penalties, at one point they had three consecutive plays that ended in a touchdown called back, Penn State was called for 8 penalties while Iowas was flagged just once... yeah, it was bad.
This is the worst officiating I’ve ever seen

@bigten you need to do something about John ONeill. It’s blatantly obvious that he’s anti Penn State with these calls. Come on. Sack up.

John ONeill legit worst ref ever. Takes away an obvious TD and then throws flags every play after for good measure #PSUvsIOWA
— Steve Lutz (@stephenlutz) October 13, 2019
John ONeill doing literally whatever he can to keep Iowa in this game.
— Never Satisfied Detailing (@never_satisfyd) October 13, 2019
Your move @B1Gfootball when it comes to the effect John Oneill has on games he officiates against Penn State. He needs removed because that was a deliberate deliberate obvious cheat on the overturned call. #PSU #PSUnrivaled
— Rod Weiler Sports (@SportsFool0416) October 13, 2019
THROW A FLAG ON THAT INT JOHN ONEILL YOU STUPID BITCH!

I’m sure PSU will get the full John O’Neill experience once again in East Lansing or more likely Columbus before the season is complete.

John O’Neil is just awful. Why is he employed?
