I get why but think it’s disingenuous to not discuss the false start that was

Missed when Davis scored his first touchdown. If the refs were really anything but incompetent they surely would have called that as it would have backed byu up from the 4 to the 9.

The refs were just bad. They were not good that game. I don’t know if they had an off game or are just that bad always but when both teams have this much to complain about they weren’t lopsided, just bad.

Really I want to know what the deal was with the officials

They were horrible and I’m not one to bag on the refs.

9/25/22 9:43am

Same. Except in basketball. Basketball refs are the worst.

Zaphod

9/25/22 9:45am

What conference were the refs from?

Reasonable1

9/25/22 9:43am

I think MWC. Same for Utah State.

Tank's Dad

9/25/22 9:45am

No, it's a collection of Western United States refs.

Manti

9/25/22 9:46am

Could it be these refs were the ones who couldn’t get any other games?

MWC

ochobeeguy

9/25/22 9:45am

I heard they were an assortment from several conferences but

9/25/22 9:46am

Assortment from MWC, Pac12, and Big12.

RootieBoy

9/25/22 9:47am

Don't forget the very questionable spots on 3rd down.

9/25/22 9:44am

Yes, the rest was so bad I failed to mention the borderline scandalous spotting

Big12Yfan

9/25/22 9:46am

Lol Tom isn’t going to do anything

maxpowers

9/25/22 10:23am

This is an area I wish BYU would have more backbone. There’s a difference

here's to hoping

9/25/22 11:24am

One time their back was at least a half yard short and they gave it to them

Born2Fish

9/25/22 9:56am

For sure. It was not even close.

King of Y

9/25/22 1:09pm

Closer to one yard short. It was bad

Dat_rmishner

9/25/22 1:19pm

They were instructed by ESPN, The SEC and Big 10, Craig Thompson and Craig James

9/25/22 9:44am

What a ridiculous statement

ALC

9/25/22 11:26am

I guarantee — guarantee — that ref wouldn't have called Bama or Ohio St

Manti

9/25/22 9:45am

I'm of the opinion the only post-TD celebrations that should be flagged are when

cougarfan84

9/25/22 9:48am

Yep. And that's the way they call it in most games. Those officials just

Manti

9/25/22 9:49am

Crazy part is when Wyoming scored their next TD their QB was taunting the crowd right in front of the official who

Non-mo Coug

9/25/22 10:09am

Unless it’s Jake Locker. No celebrating for him.

ACrop

9/26/22 4:09am

That’s not a guaranty.

Remember about 10 years ago or so when Nike started putting logos on the palms

Ackman

9/25/22 11:32am

Anyone stay up long enough to hear if there were any comments made by

Mister P

9/25/22 9:45am

Kalani only said they held the ball longer than typical

SouthernBlueBlood

9/25/22 9:47am

Wyoming Coach mentioned that refs get evaluated and moved up or down just like

stenso

9/25/22 10:06am

Kalani did mention he wasn’t sure how the refs missed an easy incomplete pass

MVPlayer

9/25/22 10:43am

BYU was a 21 point favorite.

BYUHgrad

9/25/22 9:46am

That's an exact reason to NOT throw so many flags

basc-coug

9/25/22 9:49am

Unless they took Wyoming and the points.

valcorger

9/25/22 9:52am

Well of course, but I didn’t know that was assumed

pink22

9/25/22 9:52am

The cut block they called on the fumble recovery of an incomplete pass was weird

bluelands

9/25/22 9:47am

That one was egregious. How can you have a live ball penalty on a play that you

Manti

9/25/22 9:48am

So so bad there.

Soupie

9/25/22 10:03am

Exactly. Asinine.

jtm0001

9/25/22 12:34pm

That was THE WORST call of the night.

9/25/22 9:49am

Also the spot giving Wyoming a first down when he was minimum 1.5

Big12Yfan

9/25/22 9:53am

The play wasn't dead. They let it go, then discussed it and came to the

cougaman

9/25/22 10:15am

Still a whack call.. dude didn't even connect on that block.

GhostRider

9/25/22 11:26am

He dove at the guys knee to block him. That's illegal.

cougaman

9/25/22 12:21pm

So it's the attempt that's illegal? If you 'almost' facemask somebody, it should

GhostRider

9/25/22 12:38pm

An attempt to dive at sometime at the knees to block them in the open field is

cougaman

9/25/22 12:59pm

Yes, throwing a punch and a block are completely different. Is the ref justified

GhostRider

9/25/22 1:19pm

And throwing a block and a facemask are also completely different, yet you

cougaman

9/25/22 3:46pm

You're acting like all penalties in football are black and white. That's just

GhostRider

9/25/22 9:17pm

And you didn't answer the question because you agree that it was enough time

cougaman

9/25/22 9:19pm

Doesn't matter. If it was a dead play, NOTHING after applies. If we scored, they

He made an illegal dive at the his knee. If they HAD blown it dead (which they

imdocrob

9/26/22 9:14am

Whistle blows, don't tackle after that or it's a penalty. It's that simple.

cougaman

RE: Whistle blows, don't tackle after that or it's a penalty. It's that simple.

imdocrob

9/26/22 11:33am

First off, quit with the insults. Second, it is that simple. It was AFTER THE

cougaman

9/26/22 1:21pm

Or the Wake cut block that was done at the location where the snap occurred

Blue Ridge

9/25/22 9:55am

Has to be an OL inside the tackle box.

Manti

9/25/22 9:55am

Can be anyone that lines up inside the TB, not just Oline.

StantonMac

9/25/22 10:08am

Not sure why Wake went for the cut block anyways. Regardless of the call,

BYUHgrad

9/25/22 10:08am

Isnt a TE lined up on the line considered an o lineman on run plays?

Dat_rmishner

9/26/22 11:06am

It was the correct call.

MVPlayer

9/25/22 10:45am

regardless of whether it was right or not. It was insanely late. Play was

SUAVO

9/25/22 11:01am

That was my issue with it also.

MVPlayer

9/25/22 11:03am

And there were 4 of their linemen downfield, Kalani pointed it out, no call

Big12Yfan

9/25/22 11:24am

I can’t comment on most of them, but the lineman downfield on us was far from

StantonMac

9/25/22 10:13am

Another one that bugged me was the unsportsmanlike on Bywater. By definition

9/25/22 10:59am

Dead-ball contact fouls such as pushing, shoving, striking, etc. that occur…

BYU'01

9/25/22 11:18am

problem there was the offense was still playing the RB handed the ball to the QB

TheRowdy

9/25/22 12:20pm

They are asking to not throw people down after the whistle.... It was a penalty

cougaman

9/25/22 12:24pm

if the offense keeps playing, the defense can't stop

TheRowdy

9/25/22 1:04pm

Yes they can BECAUSE THE WHISTLE BLEW.

cougaman

9/25/22 1:11pm

You hear stuff all the time that sounds like whistles.

TheRowdy

9/25/22 11:49pm

BTW, I'm making a separate point... Bywater should have been flagged.

TheRowdy

9/26/22 10:42am

He should have been flagged because of the whistle...

cougaman

9/26/22 10:57am

I think the flag was warrented because of the timing and roughness. I just think

9/26/22 11:01am

There were multiple, clear, distinct whistles. If the ref blows the whistle, and

cougaman

9/26/22 10:56am

The play stops on the whistle. The QB did not attempt to advance the ball.

BYU'01

9/25/22 1:18pm

The refs expect you to stop when they are all blowing their whistles. Their QB…

BYU'01

9/25/22 1:17pm

Ok. Your right. That's a place where the NCAA rule differs from NFHS. I should

9/25/22 5:18pm

They were bad all around. The entire left side of the BYU O-line false started

OhioCougFan

9/25/22 11:00am

~All controversial calls were actually correct. The TD was not an illegal pick.

BYU'01

9/25/22 11:22am

No it was a pick. But was caught behind the line of scrimmage, so it’s legal.

Boring

9/25/22 11:42am

The ball was caught in the end zone

BYU'01

9/25/22 1:58pm

Which TD are you referring to?

RGGeemer

9/25/22 2:01pm

Hill's 1st TD is as you are describing. No pick, just crossing routes and Hill

RGGeemer

9/25/22 2:22pm

That pick play is legal because the pass was thrown behind the LOS. Teams run

RGGeemer

9/25/22 1:52pm

The worst call by far was the Pay hold on the Davis TD.. so bad. and late again.

GhostRider

9/25/22 11:28am

Not to mention the absolutely ridiculous spots (crazy).

YSMACK

9/25/22 11:38am

Biggest thing with Hill’s penalty-

Dwide_Schrude

9/25/22 1:36pm

Hill’s celebration clearly deserved the flag - not even close.

Cswilliam01

9/25/22 2:40pm

It got to the point they were so bad you began to think it was on purpose

Coug Dude

9/25/22 2:53pm

Wyoming probably believes that they lost due to the Refs

Dr. 91coug

9/25/22 3:41pm

All I will say is this was a horrible group of Refs…. Hope they never come back.
