The Catch Interference call hurt bad. It took the ball out of the Huskies hands. They were in position to run the clock down to where Nebraska had no time to do anything. That's a 10 point swing on that play right there.
The kick off muff hurt much worse and that's all on the Huskies. The Huskies weren't moving the ball well at that point in the game, so a FG still makes that another 10 point swing.
Being down by so much the Huskies went for it on 4th down and took another 3 off of the board. That's 23 points the Huskies left on the table.
Just how I see it.
I understand your point, as it's the same way I'd see it if I were a Husky fan. But as a Husker fan, I'm seeing it from the Nebraska side. If we had gotten the first personal foul call, that's 15 yards and we have the ball around the 40. If we get the second, we push Washington all the way into the shadow of their goal posts.
Yours was a glaring penalty, no doubt, but as officiating is the least predictable part of a game, it's also the most illegitimate part to criticize. I think the third quarter is what really put Washington into trouble. If they had played better the other issues may not have been as glaring.
I didn't see those, probably was when I was reaching for the Kleen-x.
