whoneedscorners? All-American

Did people complain this much when Clemson beat the stuffing out of GT?

They didn't even scale things back. They ran their normal offense with their backups. Did anybody care then?

This is so dumb. BYU wasn't trying to RUTS. They were trying to get better.

Romney should be getting live reps. If Wilson ever goes down, we want Romney to be as prepared as possible. He was in there with 2s and 3s. We handed the ball off way more than we normally do.

If this stuff is legitimately a concern for folks, petition to have a slaughter rule.

Wow... Rod Gilmore doubling down on his stupidity.

Refs should call all fouls, regardless of the time or score in the game. It's

Yeah, you don't stop being a referee just because one team is up big. An obvious foul is still a foul.

How is your approach fair for the 2nd and 3rd stringers that get very limited opportunities to show what they can do?

Hmmm I wonder how you vote.

If it was Alabama instead of BYU it would have been called PI. 100%.

The ONLY defense that Gilmore has related to his comments...

Eddie

10/26/20 10:59am

No, those were two different plays. They did call the PI with the interception in or near the south end zone.

You are not human.

Pretorian

10/25/20 8:50am

That is a very different point than "I'm glad they didn't call that a PI" which is, frankly, really dumb

10/25/20 8:52am

It’s the exact same point... it WAS PI and it shouldn’t have been called yet

Pretorian

10/25/20 8:56am

No it is not. "I'm glad they didn't call a blatant PI" is much dumber than "We should stop whining about it"

You can’t remove the fact we were totally dominating the game... along with

Why would you alter a rule based on the score?

I’m not changing the rule, it’s just being aware of what’s around you

I think it can be insulting to let up.Its ok to put in the 4th string and score.

ParentingNotForSissy

I agree, who wants the team to let up?

Pretorian

It creates a dangerous environment

Was this game even close to getting out of hand? No it wasn’t... had they missed

Pretorian

10/25/20 11:42am

That’s the point... it wasn’t out of hand so why give any room for it to get there.

WP17

10/25/20 12:05pm

It wasn’t out of hand, it wasn’t close to out of hand, it was one missed call...

If the ref calls the PI, the fake punt never happens.

I agree with Rod. Crap like that gives BYU a bad look. Glad they didn’t call.

If it's not first string it doesn't matter. Just because BYU is up doesn't mean

byucougs9

10/25/20 7:41am

Yep. His reasoning was that the rules don't apply if you're up big. Dumb.

BYU created a no win situation by throwing long. This is the first self issue.

i think what people are missing is that the refs are there to maintain control.

A foul is a foul. You don't NOT call roughing the passer because they're ahead.

You said refs are trained to keep their flags in their pockets to speed up games that are out of hand. My point is

Rhino84

10/25/20 1:21pm

This smacks of the "unwritten rules" fiasco in baseball. Officiate the game straight up, for Pete's sake! Stupid refs.

10/25/20 1:22pm

Of course it does. Over the course of decades the games and how they are

shakarocks

10/25/20 1:52pm

So let me make sure I understand: Refs can see a clear penalty in front of them and decide not to call it based on the

10/25/20 2:48pm

That is ridiculous. It's not the ref's job to determine when a team is being

10/25/20 2:21pm

Then you don't have a refined understanding of what officials are there to do
