...all day) could be called pass interference, but the refs let nearly EVERYTHING go when BYU was throwing the ball. It was the inequity and inconsistency that drove me crazy.

4 of them could have been no calls. The PoVey one was PI for sure.

lawboy

9/23/14 4:22pm

Jordan Johnson's in the end zone isn't really arguable imo

JamesWestfall

9/23/14 4:24pm

I thought JJ's was the best D of the group. Both players were touching, he got

jkccoug

9/23/14 4:35pm

Never mind, I think the back arm was hooked around him. Good call.

jkccoug

9/23/14 4:37pm

It was good until the WR beat him with a good step and he grabbed to compensate.

southernfriedcougar

9/23/14 4:39pm

Yep. JJ had great coverage, then the ball was underthrown and the receiver made

At least 4 of 5 are PI's. That last one on Preator is really questionable. I'm

ol' Blue Eyes

9/23/14 4:26pm

The only one of those that gets called PI in the SEC is the one on Povey, and

FierceArc

9/23/14 10:39pm

Why the PI call on PoVey isntead of holding?

BGRTHNUMEGO

9/23/14 4:27pm

Ball was in the air

lawboy

9/23/14 4:28pm

Because they believe it was catchable and in the vacinity

RyneK

9/23/14 4:28pm

No way, he's right. Only 1 and 5 were any bit questionable.

southernfriedcougar

9/23/14 4:30pm

Love the extra with Bronco chewing that ref hiney about number 19 on #5

BarraCouga

9/23/14 4:25pm

how did 19 NOT get a flag on that wow!

kotacoug

9/23/14 4:30pm

Right in front of the official too.

whoneedscorners?

9/23/14 4:34pm

Egregious unsportsmanlike, and he would not quit. Horrible no call.

calbearcoug

Hadn't seen the game, thanks for the tip...LOVE the chewing out

gaspasscoug

Good to see Bronco getting at the ref.

BYUisLife

9/23/14 6:31pm

2 and 3 are PI.

Iron Coug

9/23/14 4:25pm

A couple of those you see let go all the time.

BarraCouga

9/23/14 4:28pm

my problem wasn't so much with the PIs that were called, but with those

cedar cougar

9/23/14 4:26pm

Only one of those is a maybe: #5, Jordan Praetor's.

byujacob

9/23/14 4:27pm

In the stadium from my seat you could see that he hit the WR in the back b4

jkccoug

9/23/14 4:33pm

Did the crowd really think a majority of them were wrong?

southernfriedcougar

9/23/14 4:28pm

I think the crowd's reaction was mostly to the non calls against UVA

TrueAndBlue

9/23/14 4:35pm

A minority where I was sitting.

JAGA97

9/23/14 4:55pm

Is Howell saying Daniel wouldn't have gotten flagged if he'd turned his head?

BGRTHNUMEGO

9/23/14 4:28pm

Seems like it. Almost none of our DBs turned around to make a play on the ball

byujacob

9/23/14 4:30pm

But is that consistent with the rule in college?

BGRTHNUMEGO

9/23/14 4:31pm

It's not. That's only a rule in the NFL. They still call it every time

whoneedscorners?

9/23/14 4:33pm

Usually refs will overlook a lot more contact if the DB is looking back for the

dilbert

9/23/14 4:31pm

Re #1. He doesn't turn around but the contact is minimal. In fact, the ball hits

Crush4

9/23/14 4:30pm

Thanks. This is good stuff.

jkccoug

9/23/14 4:30pm

Johnson's whole arm was around the receiver and it affected his movement.

flavordave

9/23/14 4:33pm

I didn't notice that but I think you're right. Backside arm hooked him

jkccoug

9/23/14 4:37pm

That said, he probably prevented a touchdown.

flavordave

9/23/14 4:56pm

Preator's call was ridiculous. And comparing the refs reaction to #19 jawing

TrueAndBlue

9/23/14 4:31pm

And Bronco agrees.

TrueAndBlue

9/23/14 4:31pm

or comparing the ref ignoring #19 and then making a mad dash to Bronco to

kotacoug

9/23/14 4:33pm

I guess I have said this, but from the North End Zone you could see Preator

jkccoug

9/23/14 4:38pm

From my North End Zone seat it sure looked like

gwalker

9/23/14 4:43pm

Preator was playing the ball for sure.

jkccoug

9/23/14 4:51pm

I too was in the North End Zone. Clearly Preator got their early.

HarlemCoug

9/23/14 7:33pm

The dude sounded pissed off the entire interview

ldssdl

9/23/14 4:33pm

Bronco was pissed after the game too. I like it. That's the only way they'll get

whoneedscorners?

9/23/14 4:35pm

You should sound pissed when are 2-3 more performances like that away from

Those were all pass interference. I don't know why everyone's up in arms about

The problem is the refs inconsistencies. Sure, at least 1-4 (I'd argue about 5

cougfromcali

9/23/14 5:37pm

being a CB is the hardest position to play. the game is set up in the WR

nhatch82

9/23/14 4:58pm

Why would you throw some of your players under the bus and then defend

BostonCougar

9/23/14 6:49pm

I guess you see what you're looking for.

BarraCouga

9/23/14 7:28pm

On the contrary, I think it's refreshing and transparent leadership

LBCougar

9/23/14 8:01pm

I had the perfect view of Preator's PI and the refs got it right. From my seat

HarlemCoug

9/23/14 7:31pm

Disagree.. I see that same type of play multiple times in SEC games.. They both
