It’s not like a ref can
exert a bias when a team is up by 30.

It would be interesting to see data on games that were close at the end

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.

Except all you have to do is go back and watch the end of the game against SDSU in Maui

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

Good take. Just because byu has won 50% means nothing. It’s not like a ref can

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

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.

Would be fun to get the advanced metrics and point spreads and compare BYU's
