International Man of Mystery
I don't know that they have it out for Bo. I think these guys had a bad game. Is it all part of some vast conspiracy? I'm not sure I have enough tinfoil to make a hat large enough to fit my bulbous head to buy into that.
I went back and looked at our games, and the crews we've had. To the best of my knowledge we've only had the same crew in any two games twice - the crew who called the game at UCLA called Saturday's game against Michigan.
For the most part, they were the same crew:
@ UCLA Crew:
Referee: Dan Capron
Umpire: Jim Shaw
Linesman: Jim Ryan
Line judge: Tom Krispinsky
Back judge: Jack Lyman
Field judge: Al Terry
Side judge: Craig Jeffreys
Scorer: Rich Perelman
Michigan Crew:
Referee: Dan Capron
Umpire: Jim Shaw
Linesman: Jim Ryan
Line judge: Tom Krispinsky
Back judge: Robert Smith Jr
Field judge: Al Terry
Side judge: Craig Jeffreys
Scorer: Steve Morrison
The italicized guys are different; otherwise the crews are the same.
In the UCLA game, this crew called more penalties on the Bruins than the Huskers: UCLA - 11/126; NU - 7-60
In the Michigan game, it was reversed: Michigan - 3/44; NU - 8-104.
So there's not exactly a lot of evidence of bias here, although it's probably worth pointing out that the UCLA game was a non-con game. I'm sure next year we'll have a Pac-12 crew in Lincoln.
I have no idea if the rumor that we requested that one of these guys never calls another one of our games is true or not. But there's at least some prior history. Hard to say if any of this means anything. Likely not.
