Thinking that if the refs we're really letting the db's manhandle our wide receivers then we pull them aside in the game and tell them to get physical with the db's.

Rivalry Pass Interference Numbers

P12 refs for several of the games?

Byron McNertney

8/18/17 1:57pm

P12 refs know who they work for.

Count Cougar

Only for the games in Provo. The myth that the PAC-12 uses its officials for

It is pretty much thought of around the country. PAC 12 officials are biased.

Utah has a defensive backfield of NFL guys going up against our very non-NFL WRs

MantiCoug

8/18/17 1:59pm

Nah. The ~7 NFL players in the backfield had nothing to do with it

NarfUte

Were those guys benched against everyone else every year?

jaromp

Everyone else has better receivers than us.

Or maybe it's time to come out of the proverbial closet

nah, go back & watch games before the current streak even when BYU had NFL WR

icecougar

8/18/17 3:06pm

Then we should do it too. Sounds like a great competitive advantage.

MantiCoug

8/18/17 3:21pm

He's talking about the 6 game streak. According to my quick espn search Collie

NarfUte

I'm pointing out that it's been Utah's MO for a lot longer than the streak...

This. PIs sometimes result when the defender is out of position

Tricky

8/18/17 3:15pm

PI rates of 0.0238 vs 0.0109 with a sample size of 2,479 vs 274

Indy Coug

8/18/17 1:59pm

This. What's the p-value? Probably statistically significant.

Utah uses the Seahawks strategy of "the refs can't call PI on every play."

**Bingo!!!** That ploy works in basketball too. Refs don't want to appear to...

icecougar

College very seldom calls off the ball PI or holding

Utah hasn't been called for PI outside of the Vegas bowl?

Also what's up with the near 2000 differential in attempts

8/18/17 2:17pm

It rings true if you've been watching the games as a BYU fan.

Byron McNertney

8/18/17 2:18pm

I know that's one of your talking points

You think it's not verifiable that sports fans are biased?

Did we get called for PIs less as well? Could have gone both ways if

If you grab against most teams, you don't stop that style for one.

Count Cougar

8/19/17 9:40am

You grab someone that is faster than you and ran past you. Not a big problem

8/19/17 11:56am

That is a flat out lie. BYU recievers arent that slow. Were talking tenth's of a

Count Cougar

So it doesn't help if the DB is 2 steps faster than the receiver. Got it.

I forget the Utes are so talented.

Can you control for the refs involved? How often do they usually call PI? How

Try running the reverse numbers (how often defensive PI gets called on us)

Utah will get flagged 38 times for P.I. this year. Stats always work that way.

You mean the refs that BYU provided for the game? From the Big 12?
