So much bad officiating on one series

I don’t get the angst over the timeout issue

BYU Fan

Kalani was pissed about that. Game clock didnt start until 7 seconds on the play

Because you can’t call a timeout and then challenge without another timeout.

It's not really fair to say its 4th down to force a timeout but then change the

I never saw them call it 4th down, every indication was they were calling for a

They definitely didnt wave the clock to stop until Boise called TO

We can split hairs on stuff like this all day, but the fact is they incorrectly

And then gave them a favorable spot based on "inconclusive" evidence.

He didnt make the 35. Simple geometry means that's 4th down if you start at the

If the lines are all painted straight. Isn't that why you have chains?

ochobeeguy

10/20/19 7:37pm

Just think that one through. How do the chain gang know where to start?

All-American

10/20/19 7:54pm

This is covered in the written rules. No matter where it actually starts, or

Have you ever been on the field to see the lines? They are definitely not perfectly straight

YIsForBrigham

I trust the lines more than the chain gang.

All-American

10/21/19 11:27am

You shouldn’t. The chains are much more accurate

YIsForBrigham

10/21/19 2:27pm

Why bother bringing chains out to measure at all, if they can just eyeball it?

All-American

10/21/19 2:31pm

According to the initial spot he made the 35. There was no replay

StalwartBraveTrue

10/20/19 11:59pm

No he didnt.

I dont agree.

rggee

10/20/19 7:24pm

And I dont agree with the sign that says 50 is the speed limit.

bluecougar1985

I agree!

It seems to me that it is usually one process

BYU Fan

10/20/19 7:31pm

When they challenged the play they did not have any timeouts left

BigYfan

10/20/19 7:06pm

At the end of the day, it really was 4th down and Boise used their final TO.

Corn Pop

10/20/19 7:00pm

Exactly.

rggee

10/20/19 7:01pm

Huh?

RealityCheck

10/20/19 8:41pm

I hated that about the timeout and challenge. I was screaming at the TV saying you need a TO to challenge.

PessimisticCB

10/20/19 9:05pm

They gave the timeout back when they decided to

Vernon Dozier

BSU was able to stop the clock 10 seconds before the officials called for

I’ll have to rewatch it as I was at the stadium....

Vernon Dozier

10/21/19 7:06am

But if it had been a 1st down, the ref would have stopped the clock immediately.

rggee

10/21/19 5:56am

What are you talking about?

StalwartBraveTrue

10/21/19 11:23am

I know. They called timeout because the refs had it as a 4th down. Then they

rggee

10/21/19 11:25am

Seems to me coaches should be judicious about when they call timeouts.

StalwartBraveTrue

10/21/19 2:20pm

I was surprised when they said Boise was challenging!

NVCougar

Come on, the world isn't against us

StantonMac

I need to amend this slightly...

StantonMac

Wait, if they didn’t challenge it why did they get the timeout back? Too many

bluecougar1985

10/21/19 6:51am

Because they never had to use the timeout.

Vernon Dozier

10/21/19 7:12am

correct they announced that it was a challenge by Boise St and that they got

BigYfan

10/21/19 8:24am

That is really interesting, but then why did the Ref announce that Boise was

It's true that the white hat said that Boise State was challenging the ruling
