No idea - I just remember that's what the ref said at the time.

I thought it was weird that he'd make that point - no one thought the pass was tipped. Not sure where he got that idea or why he decided that is what he was looking for. It was kind of dumb.

Regarding the two video booth reviews that went against BYU as "confirmed".

I think ego plays too much into reviews. Some refs clearly can't admit they

Doesn't the NFL do this?

PJMort

Not that I know of.

The NBA does.

ESPN at least could do this for it's games.

As I understand, the replay official makes the replay call, not the on-field

Then I need a new reason why replay officials screw it up so bad.

Doesn't the NHL do this to some respects? Maybe it's just for goals?

I was about to post this. The Micah Simon call wasn't even close.

What exactly can be reviewed?

Eddie

11/11/19 4:33pm

If they were looking for a tipped pass then they didn't understand the challenge

PJMort

11/11/19 4:40pm

And if that isn't reviewable, why not? Waay more objective than things like

They addressed both. I went back and watched to get the exact quote...

They were wrong about the line of scrimmage.

PJMort

11/11/19 10:23pm

Also- the play before they called a strange snap infraction on Empey. Weird.

PJMort

11/11/19 11:38pm

It was very close. LOS was at, or just shy of the 41, which is

I’ve rewatched it several times. Catch was made at 20 1/2 yard line.

PJMort

Agree that “confirmed” was a stretch.

StantonMac

11/12/19 8:36am

It was like they didn't understand the difference between "stands" & "confirmed"

What was the end result on both those drives? I forget.

The Y's Insider

11/11/19 4:48pm

They were both on 3rd down. BYU kicked a field goal on one, and punted the other

PJMort

11/11/19 4:53pm

Then that is very frustrating (assuming the OP is right).

The Y's Insider

11/11/19 5:08pm

Where were those refs from? Lots of holding from LU never called

Coug Dude

11/11/19 4:57pm

Lots of holding by BYU went uncalled as well. Freeland was a holding machine

On the Simon play, the PI was called against someone (Finau I believe) who threw

Jesse Pinkman

11/11/19 5:27pm

You can do that if the receiver catches the ball behind the LOS

The Y's Insider

11/11/19 5:34pm

It is my understanding that downfield blocking is ok IF pass is behind the LOS.

PJMort

11/11/19 5:35pm

The rule is no PI unless the passed ball "crosses the neutral zone"

jkccoug

11/11/19 5:51pm

It definitely was NOT Offensive PI then. Maybe it was not reviewable though.

PJMort

11/11/19 6:00pm

I don't think that is right. If the pass is behind the LOS you can block downfi

Also, how many times did they put time back

I will continue to advocate that all refs be brought under the NCAA tent. Let

I thought Milne did not catch it clean. Not necessarily a bobble...but not clean

Dax Milne just used poor technique. You never pick up your feet to stay upright

And he DID catch it and DID get his right toe down. Am I wrong? I don't think so

PJMort

11/12/19 7:27pm

It being tipped is news to me. Looked like he caught it clean.
