PoVey when he gets beat in cover 2 over the top. I don't get it.

Calling out specific players publicly is NOT good leadership. It build animosity and destroys any loyalty they may have.

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

9/23/14 7:42pm

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

9/23/14 6:40pm

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

gaspasscoug

9/23/14 4:54pm

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

nhatch82

9/23/14 4:56pm

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

SoCalCoug

9/23/14 4:56pm

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

I can see what Howell is saying but I really think that #1 and especially #5

I dont think Howell is saing that they are all legitimate
