Our players and coaches? That seems too obvious. What was the reasoning the officials got away with that.

Rewatched the 2016 BYU/Utah game

Pretty good take.

5.A. was the play that infuriated me the most.

Officials ruin football. Time to innovate.

BYUALWAYSNUM1

8/19/17 10:02pm

No, corruption ruins football. Out of conference games should be officiated

Bryceo19

8/19/17 10:24pm

You mean like the officials in last year's game?

Scratch

8/19/17 10:48pm

To be fair, asking to Utah fans, we're there officiating calls that helped

BYUHgrad

Fair question.

Bryceo19

8/20/17 10:58am

Probably. I certainly remember being frustrated with various calls or non-calls

This is why I asked. If BYU converts the 2 point concersion

Do you mean like the Big XII officials that officiated BYU/Utah 2016?

Link?

Bryceo19

8/19/17 11:08pm

Ok, let me do your research for you.

61_Shasta

8/19/17 11:20pm

Did you just link to a comment you made on a CB thread? Well played!

Bryceo19

8/19/17 11:30pm

Because it's been discussed ad nauseum

61_Shasta

8/19/17 11:45pm

ad nauseum = one thread a couple months ago

Here you go, from BYU's athletics website.

AND looks like it was at minimum PAC-12 officials in replay booth

Bryceo19

8/19/17 11:38pm

Google that too. It's standard

61_Shasta

8/19/17 11:50pm

Yes, Google is a good source. Thank you.

I say take the human element out of the game. It's 2017. Use technology.

I can see how you'd automate something like calling balls and strikes, but football reffing seems way more subjective

Oh it would be super expensive. But we have the ability to have cameras and

BYUALWAYSNUM1

8/20/17 9:56am

Yeah, ball spotting and chain placement seem like particulalry bad things to leave up to humans.

Great take. The Nacua targeting made me the most mad in the moment, but 5A anger

I think most people would go with a forward progress excuse, but that is a

looked like F. Warner tried to get an explanation

Bryceo19

wait so what is the rule with forward progress?

ColonelMustard

Are you serious Clark?

Bryceo19

8/20/17 2:35pm

I've long believed the PAC officials protect their teams

Borg

8/19/17 10:21pm

And so do most outside of the PAC 10.2

And for the 9000th time, REPLAY officials, bro. They were PAC 11.1

For me the Jamaal face mask was the most egregious. As obvious as a facemask

Thanks for the clarification on JW face mask.

Bryceo19

8/19/17 10:37pm

except it was a big 12 ref right? While it was a missed call I don't get your

ColonelMustard

You can keep pushing the "they were Big 12 refs"

Bryceo19

8/20/17 2:35pm

We lost our two best players on absolutely awful calls. Nacua

Cougar76

8/19/17 10:36pm

In hindsight I'm shocked they didn't rule Taysom out on his 1st TD run.

Looking at the replays shown,

Oh yeah, I remember that crappy spotting job. Gave them a whole free 5 yards.

Who was the PI on in 5a?

Gerald-DeGroot

It was Wilcox.

No way!

Chaz Ah You is now at LB behind F. Warner, FYI.

Six Foot Seven

8/20/17 5:47am

Really? I think he's better staying at Safety personally.

Bryceo19

8/20/17 6:55am

He's getting a bit too big for safety

Martin Van Nostrand

Dare I ask...which conf is officiating this year's game?

zerome4sooners

8/20/17 6:16am

Presumably P12 because it's in Provo.

Scratch

8/20/17 8:17am

Although BYU will provide replay officials, so watch out for Chad Bunn.

Stupid big 12 refs trying to help a PAC 12 school!

Solid analysis but I have to disagree with #2 and your final thoughts.

My husband and I remember that terrible spot! It was ridiculous!!
