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

IMO, it appeared very deliberate the blind eyes the officials were turning towards the numerous obvious holds.

USC would have had a hard time sustaining drives and scoring more than 17 points without the help they received from the PAC 12 Officials on Saturday Night.

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….

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

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

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.

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

That one was the blatant facemask

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

This one was actually Tuiaki's fault.

Missed tackles were obviously his fault as well. /s

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

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

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

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

Living in reality and being negative for the sake of being negative aren't equal

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

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

What about the USC touchdown run in the fourth quarter?

GrumpyCougar

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”

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

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

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

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

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

Pretorian

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.

11/29/21 8:10am

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

Count Cougar

Weren't both of those called right though?

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

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

The center is protected, going over them is called leveraging

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

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

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