It would be really interesting to see how many of those losses were statistically surprising based on Vegas predictions and advanced stats.

What other games has he officiated?

He allowed SDSU to tackle Tyler Haws at the end of regulation in Maui a few years back.

Seems like data should be available on this. Anyone know where it could be found to prove/disprove this hypothesis?

Well, that would seem to indicate that the assertion made isn't accurate. Funny what happens when you use actual data.

That's because McCall has had some really bad late game officiating performances in games BYU has played.

So Drew's statement was about his poor memory, not about biased officiating.

jkccoug

Our overall win % during that timeframe is 68%. But only 53% with that ref, so

Seems like our record in close games with him reffing would be more telling.
