Gerry hit

UCLA immediately went to work on our perimeter, just as Iowa did with their running game... and it was apparent that the loss of Gerry hurt. Fortunately we bent, but didn't break.

You can actually see him talking to Gerry after the hit and during the review. Mora says great tackle at the very end and was joking with Gerry.

 
I'm not familiar with who does what, but does field judge have final say when reviewing a play? Because if so that explains everything and he should be relegated to pee wee football. Can't believe they even still have a job after that Miami-Duke fiasco.

 
One of the better camera shots was when they announced the ejection was being upheld, and they focused on Riley. The line judge behind him sits there shakimg his head in disbelief that the call was upheld.

 
Explains everything. How is this idiot still officiating games?

It's a money thing. He probably wouldn't give back the striped shirt and they can't reissue his whistle once it's been used. So a considerable investment has already been made in his career...

Since Gerry was ejected from the game does anyone know if he was allowed to come back and celebrate with the team on the field after we won? Or are you just banished to the locke room?

 
This kid has been ejected twice, both on questionable calls. My concern is it going to affect him in future games with how he tackles. There needs to be an apology or an explanation of what he did wrong. You have to play at 100%, will it affect him and will it draw more attention to his play because of this second bogus call. Any ideas. Short memory is the goal, but setting out a whole game for doing what you feel is right may make him question his effort.

Gerry's getting kicked out of the Iowa game was deserved. This one wasn't. These refs need to lose their jobs and an official apology is needed.

in the team snap chat story he was holding the trophy with the team on the field.
 
My guess is they were watching him more closely after the Iowa hit. Will that affect him and the calls against him next year.

He shouldn't have been ejected for that hit either. Recievers nowadays are lowering their bodies to make their Hitt able box even smaller to draw flags like that.

I'm thinking that depending on if and what type of penalty the refs get that it could be a benefit for NG next year. Refs will know who he is and may not want the scrutiny of the media if they make another bad decision. If NG is smart he won't change a thing and let the NFL decide whether he is more or less draftable by the way he tackles.
