Eh, I feel that going for the first down was a bad coaching decision

We should have just kicked it. The spot was bad, but that's exactly why you kick in those situations - any number of bad things could happen to cause you to leave with no points, including a bad spot. In a game like that, with things as tight as they are, you take the points and the lead.

Back to the USC game and refs- The call that bothered me the most

Bad spots happen. It’s on the coaches to ask for a replay

Fifty Shades of Blue

And they did and the refs still missed it.

especially trying to run a play that needs an element of surprise to be effective...

Plenty of things the coaches did wrong, without saying they were wrong for not

here's to hoping

9/19/19 4:38pm

The call that bothered me the most was the Pittman TD because he pulled Dayan down

Indy Coug

9/19/19 12:27pm

Objectively, there was enough hand fighting that it looked like Dayan caused him

RyneK

In the refs defense

A_blue_car

9/19/19 12:39pm

They also called it later in the game

The thing I don’t understand about the play is why it was ruled a TD?

che flaco

9/19/19 12:52pm

Another ref came in and said he was forced out. Simple as that.

cougaman

9/19/19 3:48pm

My understanding is that by rule the ref must announce that there is no flag on

BYUCLA

9/19/19 5:40pm

But made a point to announce the Time out situation 2x on the 4th down.

After re-watching the game, Pittman grabbed Dayan all game long.

On TV at least, this called looked like it was accurate. Maybe not the exact spot, but Dayan didn't look like he made it

9/19/19 12:37pm

I didn't believe he got it, until I saw this:

RyneK

9/19/19 12:39pm

Wow good point, that angle makes it appear that he got it.

9/19/19 12:46pm

It doesn't appear that way. It is that way.

RyneK

9/19/19 12:49pm

I don't think there was an angle that showed he didn't get it

BigYfan

9/19/19 2:40pm

Yeah, he got it

Pony Zale

9/19/19 12:51pm

That angle appears he got the first down by a yard at least

Remigius

9/19/19 1:18pm

Because of the idiot ref who had 8 players in his way starting with such a bad

cougaman

9/19/19 3:50pm

How is it definitive. You have no idea when his knee is down.

gww687

9/19/19 10:25pm

There is a shot from the skycam that helps. Looks like he made it.

oldrugger

9/19/19 3:54pm

Not sure what you mean by "maybe not the exact spot". The only way any wron spot

fattycoug

9/19/19 10:03pm

Meaning where they put the ball wasn't exactly where Dayan's forward progress led to.

9/20/19 9:17am

Calls went both ways but missed because of a whistle

rexallenut

9/19/19 2:19pm

I thought CB - Ike had a really good explanation.

Mr Verde

9/19/19 2:31pm

I thought there were two bad misses.

bluegato

9/19/19 2:34pm

I’m more bothered that KS/JG thought they could actually get it

BYUHgrad

9/19/19 3:16pm

But the replay shows they got it

Remigius

9/19/19 4:33pm

A horrible or terrible shot that goes in

BYUHgrad

9/20/19 8:18pm

No one could see that ball or spot accurately. It was a crap shoot. Wish they

gww687

9/19/19 4:00pm

False.

RyneK

9/19/19 4:25pm

Do replay officials not have access to sky cam angle

Remigius

9/19/19 4:36pm

They have access. There is now way to tell when and if his knee goes down

gww687

9/19/19 10:26pm

They marked him at the six yard line

Remigius

9/20/19 7:08am

You are seeing what you want to see. Had the ball been spotted at the 6, it does

gww687

9/20/19 7:08pm

Maybe Dayans knee was down

NorthernCougFan

9/19/19 4:52pm

Maybe it was, but the point is the near-side ref spotted it 1.5 yards further

osbooks

9/19/19 5:02pm

because maybe he saw the knee down

icecougar

9/19/19 5:55pm

He had no view whatsoever of Dayan, the knee or the ball. The were a handful of
