This spot in favor of Wyoming was truly bizarre

I though to myself…
BYU fans were sure whiney over the officiating.
Then I started watching film.
I’ve never seen a worse spot. Have you?
I understand some spotting issues in piles, but this official saw exactly where the ball carrier came down and still jacked up the spot. pic.twitter.com/nLkNKC9KbE

This spot in favor of Wyoming was truly bizarre

Coog4Life

Wasn’r the only bad spot in Wyo’s favor

9/26/22 9:18am

There were a lot of bad spots in favor of Wyo primarily

BYU '80

9/26/22 11:10am

I love how the ticker even shows 3rd and 1

Hotlanta

9/26/22 9:18am

Love how the ESPN graphic says "3rd & 1" then immediately switches to 1st & 10

9/26/22 9:18am

It was really bad all game long. Every time we were close, we got moved back a yard on offense.

Colorado

9/26/22 9:19am

Evan watching that one live it was baffling. He was clearly short. We were dumbfounded when we saw the chains move.

RalphWiggam

9/26/22 9:19am

My thought was that he must have made more forward progress than I noticed watching the play live. So I rewound it to

dilbert

9/26/22 9:24am

so were the announcers

claw

9/26/22 10:57am

I'm not one to complain about the refs, but Saturday's crew was horrible

9/26/22 9:19am

Were there any that went BYU's way?

daki

9/26/22 9:43am

Maybe one.

9/26/22 9:44am

Only one I can think of is they didn't throw a flag on an obvious PI

RGGeemer

9/26/22 9:50am

Except they let Wyo get away with worse

BYU '80

9/26/22 11:11am

Sure, but the question was if there were any bad calls that went BYU's way

RGGeemer

9/26/22 12:04pm

Which play are you referring to?

Mot

9/26/22 3:26pm

One of Wyoming's last gasp deep passes looked like a clear PI to me.

Cougarclaw

9/26/22 9:54am

BYU scored a TD (3rd quarter I think) on what looked like an obvious pick. Right

9/26/22 3:58pm

Ball was thrown behind the LOS. Blocking is legal in that case, no pick.

RGGeemer

9/26/22 4:21pm

Thanks... good clarification. In that case it was a well designed/executed play.

9/26/22 4:28pm

I am one to complain when they deserve it, and Saturday the refs deserved it.

TailgateU

9/26/22 9:54am

They need to be relegated to high school

Heath Squashwell

9/26/22 12:05pm

Why wish that on a bunch of guys just learning the game?

TailgateU

9/26/22 12:11pm

The missed incomplete pass was amazing

Avery

9/26/22 9:23am

It actually starts to make you wonder about the mental fitness of that crew

MarylandFan

9/26/22 9:34am

They called an unnecessary roughness due to a low block at the knees. But should

RGGeemer

9/26/22 9:51am

and the low block occurred during the run back attempt... long after it was dead

g$

9/26/22 12:59pm

Maybe there wasn't an "increased emphasis" on what constitutes a forward pass😂

notaboy

9/26/22 12:18pm

The BYU player making the low block dove at the knees of the Wyoming player…

Mot

9/26/22 3:30pm

Truly incredible. Never seen anything like it.

Cougzilla

9/26/22 4:03pm

And we get refs from the same conference this Thursday......

Penske Material

9/26/22 9:24am

They are not refs from 1 conference. They are a crew of refs pulled from multiple conferences, that is what I read

Coug

9/26/22 9:33am

Not true in football

BYU '80

9/26/22 11:11am

It's true...

Coug

9/26/22 11:33am

Must be somewhat new. I know there used to be conference specific cfb refs

BYU '80

9/26/22 2:07pm

I'm guessing they'll at least be shamed into being better Thursday

Rhubarb

9/26/22 9:51am

Language warning- for the kids.

byubyu

9/26/22 9:33am

One of the strangest things is that the line judge initially marking the spot

Scratch

9/26/22 9:45am

@GlutealGuy - this is the play that I was cheering and then felt like an idiot

RGGeemer

9/26/22 9:48am

And this is the play where I saw them moving the chains and made fun of you

GlutealGuy

9/26/22 10:59am

RE: And this is the play where I saw them moving the chains and made fun of you

RGGeemer

9/26/22 12:05pm

Why didn't BYU challenge - I'm guessing BYU has someone watching the broadcast

Rhubarb

9/26/22 10:00am

We all know that Wyoming was going to have no problem converting that 3rd and 1

daki

9/26/22 10:10am

Has anyone watched how long the ref stood on the ball when BYU was on offense

SwampyCoug

9/26/22 10:35am

Part of that was our late substitutions, then You have to allow the defense time to sub. WYoming took advantage of every

9/26/22 2:11pm

I was freaking out at home about this one. No one listened.

Thrill

9/26/22 10:52am

That happens a lot in BYU games I've noticed. Nothing will happen to refs though

SoValleyCOUG

9/26/22 10:55am

I’m 3 quarters in on reviewing film. Actually made a few notes

jxncoog

9/26/22 11:12am

They showed a second replay at the game of the facemask and it was

9/26/22 11:41am

Thanks!

jxncoog

9/26/22 11:42am

The facemask was Pili grabbing the blocker's mask, not the ball carrier's.

RGGeemer

9/26/22 12:07pm

Referees had a couple bad calls that hurt Wyoming

Zoobieman

9/26/22 12:15pm

A lot of bad spots. The missed incomplete pass call was baffling; that was a

No it was ineligible man down field.

stonecougar

9/26/22 1:53pm

No interference on Epps' TD because the throw was behind the LOS. Blocking is

RGGeemer

9/26/22 2:20pm

Yeah I thought about that but I didn’t think it was. Didn’t care to check it as

stonecougar

9/26/22 3:39pm

It was

RGGeemer

9/26/22 3:40pm

Right on the line. Well executed. Glad the refs saw it

stonecougar

9/26/22 4:15pm

Hoooooly crap, that's bad. I read about it yesterday but the clip was not as

BleedCougarBlue2

Someone should post this clip on the WY fan board. 🙂

Utah game in 2016 had some doozies as well.
