Has BYU ever won a game thanks to a really bad call/missed call by the refs?

*missed facemask penalty vs SDSU on same play. So not exactly.

Didn't BYU beat Washington years ago, in part to a bad celebration call. The QB

Cougar TD

11/14/17 8:22am

I'd guess you'd have to demonstrate how the celebration call resulted in a blocked PAT

Indy Coug

11/14/17 8:23am

Yeah, it was the only thing that came to mind.

Cougar TD

11/14/17 8:24am

I thought at the time that UW would have gone for 2. And probably would've won.

COACHdrn

11/14/17 12:12pm

Jake Locker would have got the 2 point conversion easily

rggee

11/14/17 4:44pm

No, Locker threw the ball 50 feet into the air. Happened right in front of me.

mulletino

11/14/17 8:23am

I remember on Sportcenter that night, they went through every other TD...

OPINIONS

11/14/17 8:32am

Yet the announcers stated it was a rule he broke. Dumb rule/Right call

blueaussie

11/14/17 8:44am

They were mostly pointing out the selective nature of enforcing the rule.

OPINIONS

11/14/17 8:58am

Calling a penalty for a specific rule violation is a good call. Now if you

Nope.

The lengths Ute fans on CB go to gin a good call into a bad is what astounds me.

Cully

11/14/17 3:19pm

Not going to great lengths. Just sharing my take on a game I happened to watch.

OPINIONS

11/14/17 4:11pm

Objectively, the Locker call (in their stadium) was exactly by the rule book...

Cully

11/16/17 7:05pm

No, it doesn't count as an incorrect call, but it absolutely counts as a bad one

scootsy

11/16/17 8:04pm

Did Locker "throw the ball high into the air"? That is the exact wording of the example written into the rule

mvtoro

11/17/17 1:00pm

Define high... 15-feet? 25-feet? 50-feet? It's a subjective call, by rule. Refs

RE: Define high... 15-feet? 25-feet? 50-feet? It's a subjective call, by rule.

Cully

11/17/17 3:06pm

So your argument is that he didn't throw it *high enough* to be considered "high"?

mvtoro

11/17/17 3:56pm

I never said the call was incorrect, I said the rule is by nature subjective.

scootsy

11/17/17 3:58pm

OK. So it was a correct call that you, also subjectively, don't like. That's fine. I don't much like it either.

mvtoro

11/17/17 4:59pm

Yeah, pac-10 officiating really sucked. So does pac-12 officiating.

mtnKat

11/14/17 9:42am

JJ Deluigi's nonfumble at home (vs SDST?). It was important to the win.

ImuaKahuku

11/14/17 12:39pm

Mark May cried about it for days

stoils

11/14/17 12:51pm

That's right. I couldn't remember what he did, but glad BYU still won

Cougar TD

11/14/17 8:36am

So then it would fall under the really bad call heading, not missed call

scootsy

11/14/17 9:00am

Didnt spike the ball. Threw it up in the air. Seems minor, but much different.

Count Cougar

11/14/17 8:46am

No, it was the correct call unfortunately for them. Then the kick was blocked.

ArchbishopMitty

11/14/17 11:36am

This is actually listed on the wikipedia page for "Touchdown celebration" as the first (of 2) examples of how the rule

mvtoro

11/14/17 12:50pm

Except that wasn't a bad call. It was absolutely the right call.

LV Mike

11/14/17 1:54pm

Yes, the 1980 Holiday Bowl. Matt Braga trapped a ball that was ruled a TD catch.

CopperLix

11/14/17 8:23am

Is there definitive proof showing he didn't catch it?

Indy Coug

11/14/17 8:24am

It sure looked like a trap to me.

CopperLix

11/14/17 8:25am

Per Paul James, Braga reportedly acknowledged "it bounced once, maybe twice."

CosimosPrime

11/14/17 8:53am

I watched that over and over, very blurry, but it doesn't look like he gets his

BlueForLife

11/14/17 8:38pm

I don't see that as much of a bad call by refs as it was just an angle thing.

Thug Mormons

11/14/17 10:24am

Was Doman's knee down before the goal line in 2000?

ag4cougs

11/14/17 8:25am

BYU was only down one. They could have still kicked the FG

Indy Coug

11/14/17 8:26am

*could have...

ag4cougs

11/14/17 8:28am

Or ran another play from the 6 inch line.

mulletino

11/14/17 8:30am

So a FG shorter than a PAT would have won it even if the call was different

Indy Coug

11/14/17 8:31am

Staley fumble from that game?

All-American

11/14/17 8:40am

good one

ag4cougs

11/14/17 8:55am

yeah, you're right.

ag4cougs

11/14/17 8:55am

Sure as crap lost a game to Utah because of the blown call on the knee being down.

COUGZ

11/14/17 8:27am

2002/2010. Yep. Blown calls for sure.

mulletino

11/14/17 8:28am

2002 was ridiculous. The ball either crossed the goal line or forward progress

Still Open

11/14/17 8:45am

I'm not entirely sure what's funny. The way the ruling went was fumble and

The Kaneshiro doink came after a U player got flagged for signaling a 1st down.

OPINIONS

11/14/17 8:30am

Those calls were pretty common that year. They were cracking down on celebration

autonomous

11/14/17 8:43am

Ah yes, 1998, the year they really cracked down on understated celebrations.

OPINIONS

11/14/17 9:04am

Laugh if you want but it’s true.

autonomous

11/14/17 9:13am

And it wasn’t “signaling a first down”. Jones did a little dance and got flagged

Didn't the Utah receiver clearly step out of bounds before he caught a pass last year?

Hank Rearden

I think you're thinking of Toledo

MaxxPower

Ops, thought it said lost a game.

Staley looked like he fumbled in the 2000 Utah game on the winning drive

cougarblue

Yeah, we got really lucky on that horrible call.

THISSS^^^^ cost us the game momentum was huge.

coug almighty

11/14/17 8:55am

That was a really bad call. The freeze showed possession and knee on ground.

Wasnt there a fumble in the SDSU game (when brady hoke coached them) that was

Clock read 0:00 way before he got the ball. Should not count. Game was over.

SDSU in 2010. I remember a fumble that was reviewed and somehow went our way.

No team has ever won due to a bad call per its fans

AxelDC

11/14/17 12:37pm

To actually say the call won the game, i think it has to be on the final play

11/14/17 12:52pm

No. Never. The only bad calls are the ones that go against us.

Mike Reed had a nice offensive PI no call against TCU in 2006

That's different. There are penalties in every snap. Refs just choose not to

nearly impossible to remember that kind of thing. so hard to say.
