I don't understand how the refs get a pass just because we win.

We call out players and coaches for bad performances. Refs are also fair game. Sometimes they screw up, I'm sorry it hurts but that's life.

Big 12. Holgerson cussed in the post game when brought up. Not a fan of them

thegoodmeister

10/17/20 3:01am

Didn’t get enough calls for his money?

AZcougLawyer

10/17/20 3:44am

And approximately half the game was spent with the refs huddled up trying to figure out what happened

bag

10/17/20 12:10am

So painful. I was annoyed with it when we were winning, it became almost

cougsareforreal

10/17/20 6:17am

Late hit oob was bad too.

bluecheese

10/17/20 12:10am

Meh. My biggest beef was how long they talked about every stinking penalty.

hxmCougar2000

10/17/20 12:10am

^^^THIS. Implement a 90 second rule. If you can't confidently overturn it in 90

BYUHawk

10/17/20 12:33am

One reason the NFL is more watchable. They try to fit games in 3 hr windows,

The Chelsea Dagger

10/17/20 2:05am

Glad I'm not alone. I thought these same things. BYU struggled during this time.

Benfica1

10/17/20 12:10am

Block in the back was legit on Cosper. Not Barrington.

Turnpike Lane

10/17/20 12:10am

Yes the illegal block was further upfield, not on the LOS

Dan

10/17/20 2:08am

They may call it a "block" but he hardly touched him. Literally.

BleedCougarBlue2

10/17/20 9:14am

Dude flopped. He totally sold the call.

whoneedscorners?

10/17/20 10:03am

Interfering with a opportunity tocatch a punt was a terrible call. It was muffed

BostonCougar

10/17/20 12:10am

This was a bad call in our favor.

bythenumbers

10/17/20 12:11am

Which makes it a good call. 😉

blueaussie

10/17/20 7:35am

It gave us 15 yards, but I think we recovered anyway, so it didn’t negate a TO

Trent

10/17/20 10:34am

Why? The players were within a yard (the rule).

Benfica1

10/17/20 12:11am

I don’t think so

bag

10/17/20 12:11am

The kick catch interference? How so? The guys foot was almost stepping on Milne

byusage

10/17/20 12:12am

It was one that technically was a penalty but you rarely see it called unless

bythenumbers

10/17/20 12:14am

No way- contact is not neccesary. A rule is a rule and that one wasn't even

byusage

10/17/20 12:15am

Again, I realize the rule, but you rarely see it called without contact

bythenumbers

10/17/20 12:17am

What did we get bailed out from? We recovered.

5150man

10/17/20 12:22am

I think it was called BECAUSE he muffed it. They threw it late and would not

Zooropa

10/17/20 12:27am

Totally agree with this, and you see that happen in this situation

bythenumbers

10/17/20 12:29am

I was officiating a HS game a couple weeks ago, on a long pass play in the final

goobermcmonkey

10/17/20 10:50am

Actually, you rarely see it UNLESS there is a fumble.

Benfica1

10/17/20 8:57am

It's true but you do see it called when there's obvious contact even with catch

bythenumbers

10/17/20 9:10am

ESPN announcers said bubble is 1 yd in front & shoulder pad width to the sides.

BleedCougarBlue2

10/17/20 9:17am

Look at the photo - sure looks close to me

bythenumbers

10/17/20 9:28am

Almost knocked knees.

Benfica1

10/17/20 9:31am

Yep. Good call. Luckily, if they had not called it, we (amazingly) recovered it.

BleedCougarBlue2

10/17/20 10:31am

It seemed like maybe it was called because not only was he w/i the window, but

Trent

10/17/20 10:36am

No way. Not on a fair catch. Easy call.

The Y's Insider

10/17/20 12:17am

Didn’t we recover anyways?

cougarblue

10/17/20 12:12am

Yes.

Benfica1

10/17/20 12:15am

Can you explain? It fit the rule exactly.

Lip Gallagher

10/17/20 12:13am

It seemed marginal but could have gone either way.

IceBlue

10/17/20 12:16am

i'd be pissed about that call if I were a Houston fan. But plenty of bad calls in their favor.

cruiserhead

10/17/20 12:17am

Why? It's literally the rule? And it's not a rule to be pissed about.

Lip Gallagher

10/17/20 12:23am

I didn't think it was that close when watching it. But fine, if it's the rule. My point was that if the roles were

cruiserhead

10/17/20 12:31am

Huh? I thought it was clear interference the moment I saw it. Refs and TV agreed

Forzaitalia

10/17/20 12:49am

Was it bc they were too close? That’s pretty easy to see

Pretorian

10/17/20 12:51am

That was a good call. We were lined up offsides on a key play in the 4th quarter though

cougarmikey

10/17/20 1:43am

When?

BleedCougarBlue2

10/17/20 9:19am

Nah take a lap bubba you’re wrong.

dizthewiz

10/17/20 2:40am

This is absolutely false and a bad take.

Ygrad

10/17/20 8:55am

shoulder width and arm length was violated. Not a bad call, but maybe a bad rule

DJROSS

10/17/20 10:27am

Rules have a big problem if a UH guy can hit a guy with the helmet outside of

puntersarepeople

10/17/20 12:11am

But that is rule problem not a ref problem

GSwarriorcoug

10/17/20 2:49am

It appears that way yes

puntersarepeople

10/17/20 7:44am

I bet he sees a suspension from the conference this week. Houston is dirty.

MVPlayer

10/17/20 10:28am

I think this was the right call. Key is what you define as "bad"

Tricky

10/17/20 11:24am

Deciding after to take the penalty when Oldroyd ran into the field

bluelands

10/17/20 12:13am

That was weird. Decline the call, then reverse it when the kicker enters....

Benfica1

10/17/20 12:16am

Weird, but not an officiating mistake.

RobAdams

10/17/20 12:17am

Are you sure that you can change your mind so late? Have you seen it anywhere?

ParentingNotForSissy

10/17/20 12:30am

I'll say this... if I'm the white hat, that doesn't happen. Once you decide

goobermcmonkey

10/17/20 10:56am

seems like there would be a rule against changing your mind. "oh, they are going to kick a field goal? nevermind!"

cruiserhead

10/17/20 12:17am

Delay of game or charge them with a time out..that would be what makes sense

cougarmikey

10/17/20 1:45am

It was weird he hadn't scouted enough to know that was within Oldroyd's range.

BYUHawk

10/17/20 12:36am

Agreed. You'd think after a coach makes a choice, that's it, no more choosing.

BleedCougarBlue2

10/17/20 9:21am

I don't know if I've ever seen a crew that took so long to make calls.

JuicyJam

10/17/20 12:14am

The head ref looked befuddled the whole game and looked like he was conducting

Forzaitalia

10/17/20 11:02am

The Pau'u was an incompletion. Need to maintain possession through the fall.

cougaman

10/17/20 12:20am

Yeah, at best it was borderline. You want the TD hang on to the ball all the way

bythenumbers

10/17/20 12:23am

is that true in the end zone? Haven't there been plays where the player reaches the ball across the goal line, then

cruiserhead

10/17/20 12:23am

Running into the end zone different rules than catching the ez

Florwood

10/17/20 12:27am

You can't say he didn't. Caught in the EZ, step, fall, slide for a bit, THEN

Lip Gallagher

10/17/20 12:24am

you can't say from the views that he definitely has possession as he is rolling

cougaman

10/17/20 12:30am

That should never have been confirmed

puntersarepeople

10/17/20 12:26am

Where does that end?

The Y's Insider

10/17/20 12:29am

Yep. If that had been called a TD they would’ve made that an incompletion

puntersarepeople

10/17/20 12:30am

The ball doesn’t literally pop straight up after a catch and slide due to “no

NorthernLight

10/17/20 8:08am

^^^^^^^ This is 100% correct.

BleedCougarBlue2

10/17/20 9:26am

Hi did maintain possession "through the fall". Play is dead when player hits the

BleedCougarBlue2

10/17/20 9:22am

The pass interference they called on 4th and 1 bailed out BYU.

Mozzymozzy

10/17/20 12:26am

I didn't think the Houston player deserved more than he got.

RobAdams

10/17/20 12:28am

I mean everyone was making jokes about the UTSA player named Wisdom this week.

Mozzymozzy

10/17/20 12:33am

For the headbutt I think it's more the action then the fact that he didn't

BYUHawk

10/17/20 12:39am

Disagree. Since there is no rule that says any touching of the helmets

Tricky

10/17/20 11:15am

I don't disagree. I'm not necessarily on the boat that he should have been

BYUHawk

10/17/20 12:31pm

Had the receiver caught the ball defenders helmet would have been helmet to ball

Rigormortise

10/17/20 12:45am

Glad to see someone that understands fundamental football

slatecoug

10/17/20 1:34am

And after all that, scoreboard: 43-26 is your final. 😁

TrueBlue58

10/17/20 12:49am

All correct

Pretorian

10/17/20 12:50am

Lots of missed holding calls too

machete

10/17/20 1:07am

We had some officiating breaks too

chazen

10/17/20 1:15am

Thanks for putting this in writing. It literally was about 10 minutes on that review. Refs in the 3rd quarter were horri

cougarmikey

10/17/20 1:41am

The non PI call against Wilcox in the 4th was gigantic.

Gerald-DeGroot

10/17/20 2:54am

Two straight pi’s in the end zone just before half. We ended up getting stopped

thegoodmeister

10/17/20 3:15am

It evened out. Houston PI call bad & no block-in-back call in us led to BYU TD

zerome4sooners

10/17/20 5:36am

What is great about that is there were even more errors, but BYU was able to

DJROSS

10/17/20 10:25am

Late hit call in the 4th too Allgeir was out of bounds and got hit.

Cosmo4life

10/17/20 10:28am

I think you missed the spitting incident as well.

YeahWhatever

10/17/20 11:13am

I think it’s sad - that given a GUTSY win on the road

Future_Tacos

10/17/20 12:21pm

Some of us are capable of having numerous thoughts after a game.

The Y's Insider

10/17/20 3:02pm

I don't understand how the refs get a pass just because we win.

Mitty

10/17/20 3:08pm

The missed offsides in the 3Q was bad too.

WhyaskY?

10/17/20 11:08pm

Wow didn't see that one. Total BS. Only penalty was maybe offsides on D.

Mitty

10/17/20 11:13pm

I noticed that one too.

5150man

10/17/20 11:43pm

this was a bad call red clearly wasn't watching what happened so he had to guess

cougaman

10/17/20 11:47pm

I thought this at the time as well. But, I don't know the rule well enough.
