The tackle was aggressive and long after multiple whistles, at least on TV

“You are an embarrassment.”

He’s right.

bluecougar1985

9/26/22 6:52pm

Wasn’t even one of their worse calls on the night

Samsonite

9/26/22 6:52pm

That must go to the batted ball fumble, I mean incompletion

The Chief

9/26/22 7:01pm

Or the hold on Pay, or the multiple missed PI calls.

Samsonite

9/26/22 7:03pm

1. Bad hold call on Pay. 2. Egregious holding on Nacua right in front of ref.

YSMACK

Puka one was ridiculous.

Soupie

9/26/22 10:55pm

That was the one bad call that got me out of my seat yelling at the tv

cougarbart

9/26/22 6:53pm

That was the play that made my voice officially give out.

Chicken Joe

9/26/22 6:54pm

That was the play that made cuss out loud

"It wasn't a clean handoff"

9/26/22 6:55pm

I like how Hans said elsewhere Cougars are whiny about officials. But then

Florwood

9/26/22 6:55pm

Anyone know if that official he highlights is Mountain West official?

coug16

9/26/22 6:59pm

Yes and we get him on Thursday again

2FarGone

9/26/22 7:01pm

Luckily no amount of MWC cheating could lead that team to victory

coug16

9/26/22 7:08pm

How do you know that? Is it posted somewhere?

Oompabluepaw

9/26/22 7:16pm

That might be Hans best film review ever…

TempeCoug

9/26/22 7:02pm

Have to wonder if they even realized the ball had been handed off. So so bad.

Soupie

9/26/22 7:06pm

This is one review that would benefit from sound.

hydrocoug

9/26/22 7:10pm

The fact that Wyoming was clearly still playing kind of trumps that

cougarbart

9/26/22 7:14pm

Not really. The play ends when the whistle blows

Alpi Gusto

9/26/22 7:18pm

So baiting the defense into late hits is something we want to encourage now?

cougarbart

9/26/22 7:20pm

That's literally the rule, what are you talking about?

Alpi Gusto

9/26/22 7:26pm

Then the hand off should have been flagged.

bluecougar1985

9/26/22 7:31pm

Got it

Alpi Gusto

9/26/22 7:34pm

Why? I'm not aware that there is a rule against handing the ball to another

RE: Not really. The play ends when the whistle blows

devcougar

9/26/22 10:27pm

No it doesn’t

chazen

9/26/22 8:47pm

3 clear whistles blew before Bywater tackled him. But it was very quick.

Turnpike Lane

9/26/22 7:14pm

Link?

BleedCougarBlue2

9/26/22 10:54pm

It was so loud in the stadium. Good chance they couldn’t hear whistles

Jericho

9/26/22 7:18pm

Yet somehow everybody else around them could hear the whistle?

All-American

9/26/22 7:32pm

Right, that’s why players on both sides were still playing I guess

Jericho

9/26/22 7:33pm

The running back and quarterback must not have heard it, because neither of them

bluecougar1985

9/26/22 7:33pm

Quarterback wasn’t trying to move forward. Watch closely. Not one forward step.

All-American

9/26/22 7:36pm

They literally handed the ball off. They were fully playing still. C'mon now!

westsidecoug

9/26/22 8:54pm

They literally blew the whistle already. You need to stop.

All-American

9/26/22 9:47pm

You literally need to provide the clip of that then.

BleedCougarBlue2

9/26/22 10:57pm

11:40ish mark, if not queued properly.

hydrocoug

9/27/22 9:46am

Ok, so if the offensive players didn't hear the whistle and kept playing by

westsidecoug

9/27/22 9:34am

If they continue to hit opponent or take them to the ground, yes.

hydrocoug

9/27/22 9:42am

Because the offensive players aren't tackling the defensive players.

All-American

9/27/22 9:49am

Doesn't matter. They clearly kept playing...and not only that but were handing

westsidecoug

9/27/22 10:08am

It really does. If the ref blows the whistle, you can't tackle the guy.

All-American

9/27/22 10:11am

If Hall were being tackled, everyone here would be shouting for a penalty! Easy

sandiegocgrfan

9/27/22 1:12pm

QB also came up after asking for the flag.

hydrocoug

9/26/22 7:42pm

How do you know the players heard that. You don't.

YSMACK

9/26/22 10:48pm

Because everyone around them stopped. You can see them let up.

All-American

9/27/22 6:04am

No they didn't, including guy who handed the ball off and the QB. Sheesh.

YSMACK

9/27/22 10:19am

Tackle is after the handoff. Watch what everybody else is doing.

All-American

9/27/22 11:02am

This is my beef. There is NO penalty to prevent the ball carrier from running.

Squeegee

9/27/22 10:24am

But the offensive player running the ball doesn’t change anything

Alpi Gusto

9/27/22 10:47am

Does "everyone" include the RB who handed off the ball to his QB? Just curious.

BleedCougarBlue2

9/26/22 10:56pm

The tackle occurred after the handoff, so that doesn’t help the point.

All-American

9/27/22 6:05am

fox whistles are like 115 db or more

demon_llama

9/26/22 9:01pm

Whether or not Bywater heard the whistle is irrelevant. Otherwise players could

Metallicat

9/26/22 9:40pm

Would have made no sense to blow the whistle

porl thompson

9/26/22 9:43pm

Forward progress was clearly stopped.

JuicyJam

9/26/22 9:46pm

The ball carrier doesn’t have to be down to blow the whistle.

Metallicat

9/26/22 9:48pm

Disagree.

porl thompson

9/27/22 8:00am

The argument that refs blow the whistle too early is different.

hydrocoug

9/27/22 9:19am

Ref determination of forward progress doesn't require player to be tackled.

hydrocoug

9/26/22 9:50pm

The tackle was aggressive and long after multiple whistles, at least on TV

sandiegocgrfan

9/26/22 10:57pm

100% agree. Horrible call.

Cougarboard referee apologist scream in unison

travelcoug

9/26/22 8:22pm

It’s weird how many ref worshipers this site has. It’s got to be triple any

bluecougar1985

9/27/22 7:43am

I want to agree. But watch all the players in the background the last 20 secs.

SwampyCoug

9/26/22 9:13pm

I definitely said some swears in the stands during this one

provofan

9/26/22 9:15pm

"A mockery of the officiating world..." haha

TheLoneCougar

9/26/22 9:33pm

I was sitting 20th row west side and I heard the whistles and was not surprised

kosmokramer

9/26/22 10:27pm

There were some really, really bad calls. Not this one.
