Officiating review?

[HuskersNE89]

Sorry if this has already been discussed but didn't see it anywhere on the main page.

Is there any type of officiating review process from week to week in the B1G? I'm wondering how any official who isn't blind or flat out incompetent wouldn't call something on the MICH player who blind-sided Seisay on a punt return (I believe). Whether or not you agree with the targeting rule, I don't think you can argue that that hit essentially defined targeting.

For instance, the PAC12 officials in the WIS/ASU game this season got "reprimanded" for their end-of-game debacle. I know that was a different situation because those officials essentially decided the outcome of that game by being bone-heads. Still, at the very least it would be nice for the NCAA to come out and say "the crew was wrong not to call a targeting foul" or something like that, given that it has been so inconsistently called this year. You would think the NCAA would try to save some face by at least pretending that it's trying to call the rule consistently....

I remember that play. The Kenny Bell hit on the Wisconsin guy in the CCG was not any worse than the hit on Seisay. It's just that Mo Seisay is bigger, so he didn't go flying like that Wiscy guy. It still shook Seisay up a bit though.

I missed the game, is there video of this anywhere?

Fun fact. Same officiating crew called Kenny Bell's hit, but not the Michigan player's hit.

And the Bell hit was last year BEFORE the targeting rule was implemented. Of course judgement and nuance come into play, but that was the DEFINITION OF A HIT THE TARGETING RULE WAS DESIGNED TO HALT !!

(Perhaps we should ask Stan the Babtist his view of the non-call)

Classic Ann Arbor officiating, they also overlooked an obvious clip on the same play.

It was terrible and considering some of the calls that have been made for targeting this year in college football that weren't as blatant as that it makes it worse. And screw the announcers for acting like it was so awesome!

This was a worse no call in my opinion than the Seisay hit

The announcer that said "Seisay isn't seeing or saying much of anything right now". That guy can kiss my a$$.

 

[commando]

why bother with a review? they reviewed #77 using the face mask as a weapon last week and did nothing about it. no reason to think they would be any different this week.

While it should have been a penalty, this is slightly misinformed.

The targeting 'rule' is the same as it was last year when Kenny made his hit. The only thing that has changed is the consequence of the rule (ejection).

most second-rate announcers are just reacting to the call or no-call, pretty much. if there was a call, they would have been talking about how well-deserved the penalty was and how there is no place in football for that kind of play.

Yeah, I don't understand the inconsistency. Even when he was at Nebraska Suh got called for roughing on plays that were very questionable. A couple of years ago Eric Martin was basically declared to be the Devil after a legal (albeit vicious) hit on a kick return, and Kenny Bell got called for roughing/targeting/hitting a defensless player (or whatever pu##y rule they used), but on Saturday on that MSU player's hit on Seisay....NOTHING! NOTHING? Are you freaking kidding me?

Officials should have to face reporters and explain themselves. Hey, everybody makes a mistake once in a while...but these guys can totally change the outcome of a game with a well-placed call or no-call. For instance...SOMEONE should have to explain why he called Gregory for "roughing the quarterback" when the QB didn't throw the ball (or pitch it, or do anything with it that makes him a quarterback). If they wanted to call unnecessary roughness then okay (I mean, it wasn't unnecessary roughness...but whatever), but if the QB still has the ball in his hand it is NOT roughing the passer.

Like I said...the problem is inconsistency and as long as the officials are drawing paychecks, they should have to explain themselves.

Neither of them should be penalties, IMO.

Keep your head on a swivel. It's a violent game. Buckle up.
