At least you get to throw out the i-am-old-so-i-can-try-to-spread-my-negativity card once in a while. I am glad I could help you with that. Enjoy the bowl game and don't take things too seriously.

Being a ref is hard, but come on...

I saw that one too. I just shook my head

pretty sure every screen pass was “blocked” in this manner

100% correct! And why stop when you know it won't be called?

What’s more impressive is how long the ref looked at that hold. It was a good 5-6 yards starting with two then one….

Blue2thebone

11/29/21 1:46am

Maybe it is worth it to give us that extra yard and first down on Hill’s catch

DCCougFan

Right after that hold, the wr even looked at the ref for the flag.

I would love a montage of all the holds. They were blatant and numerous

This was our pass rush all night

USC was very undisciplined but the refs made their best effort to hide it.

There was another big hold on a key Dart run up the middle where the USC

It was actually 1st and 10, if you mean the long run on the final drive.

As I was giving high fives to the players after the game I noticed

JuicyJam

Ripped jerseys, exposed shoulder pads, torn shirts were all indicators we used.

ike

11/28/21 10:55pm

That one was the blatant facemask

mobius

11/28/21 11:01pm

But that ref that was looking right at it probably didn't see it.

This one was actually Tuiaki's fault.

GSwarriorcoug

11/28/21 11:01pm

Missed tackles were obviously his fault as well. /s

11/28/21 11:18pm

I could find more examples of missed tackles due to poor form if you really want

Welcome to football. Show me a game, at any level, and I can show you too

ike

11/28/21 11:30pm

You're the one that brought up Tuiaki's name ... for the fun of it.

ManicBlue

11/29/21 1:18am

No, I actually didn't. GSwarriorcoug did. I'm just supporting my team though.

ike

11/29/21 1:40am

I support the team just fine but also live in reality not some pollyanna world.

Being negative for the sake of being negative? Good one. hahahaha

ManicBlue

11/29/21 2:24am

I was yelling when I saw that jersey stretch out. Also mad at the face mask hold that wasn’t called.

cruiserhead

11/28/21 11:15pm

What about the USC touchdown run in the fourth quarter?

GrumpyCougar

11/28/21 11:28pm

That is how he ended up, but he started with a hold at the shoulder pad first.

I was screaming at my tv when that happened. He's clearly holding Tooley's butt.

Watching that drive- looked at my wife and said “it’s coming back- major hold”

Opening kick return!

In Lacrosse, it is illegal to yell at the refs - they are treated with respect

Punk Philosopher

11/29/21 12:50am

In Rugby the players are super respectful to the ref. I don't follow Lacrosse

I am a ref for the US Lacrosse Association and am training for Utah HS football

So the TD where the USC player tried to depants Tooley and kept him from getting a clean hit on the guy that scored

If the refs try and do a half decent job, BYU wins going away last night

Yet, the roughing the passer call may have saved us the game along with the off

The offsides when kicking a field goal had no bearing. The kick was good.

Marvelous

11/29/21 5:55am

We accepted the penalty and went on to score a TD… 7>3

Pretorian

11/29/21 6:00am

You’re right! I had forgotten.

Marvelous

11/29/21 6:04am

Those were both easy and obvious calls. So luckily they did something right.

JuicyJam

11/29/21 6:17am

Too oblivious and KS had been all over them about late hits already.

Blue for Life

11/29/21 8:10am

roughing the passer should have been targeting, it was helmet to helmet.

Count Cougar

11/29/21 8:20am

Weren't both of those called right though?

ochobeeguy

11/29/21 9:00am

I saw that one too

BlueLine

11/29/21 6:23am

Is leaping over the wall on punts still illegal? USC did that too.

HuskerFan2

11/29/21 8:16am

I think you can if you don’t touch someone, but not 100% sure.

Blue for Life

11/29/21 8:32am

The center is protected, going over them is called leveraging

Sorry, it's called the shield punt formation.

I hold P12 refs in the lowest regard amongst all sports. The absolute worst.

Ned Schneebly

11/29/21 8:45am

I think anyone outside of the P12 does also. No one I have heard thinks they do

Blue for Life

Exactly. I started watching for this on every play. It was bad
