How did the refs miss the offsides on the Gophers' scoring play ?

[cellman2010]

On the play that tied the score at 10 all, the left tackle had a huge jump before the snap.  So obvious --  how did they miss that ?

Big Ten refs.  That’s how.

But they can see our left guard wiggle before the snap at the other end of the field earlier. Must have been better lighting at that end.

Minnesota isn't Nebraska.

I honestly thought the left tackle was getting a bit of a head start throughout the game.

I hate that I can say this but I've said it time and again. Nebraska is not officiated fairly by B1G officials. How many more video evidences are needed before all you nay sayers actually realize the truth. In every big 10 game we are playing against both the opponent and the officials.

The OP isnt wrong. Yet, wonder if pushing them back 5 yards really changes the outcome. Hartzog made a bad play.

I like how we got called for disconcerting signals on a clap on defense that was clearly to get someone else’s attention, but Michigan State got to do it at the line 10 times only trying to mess with our snap count and it was never called.

I mean not to defend the Ref but thats not Off-sides.  

[Hilltop]

With 4 turnovers it doesn't matter if the refs miss a call or two.  Also, as was pointed out above, that likely doesn't change the play call by Minnesota or the outcome.

They missed our TD before the half and just didn't think there was enough evidence to overturn as well.  It is what it is.  If we had 1 or 2 less turnovers or the defense doesn't drop that last INT opportunity the Cornhuskers win the game anyways.  The refs could help, but Nebraska is still its own worst enemy.

Well had they called that False Start on the LT that play wouldn't have been a TD. May have got it on the next play but that one would have been called dead.

That's the killer.  He doesn't drop that it game over. We gave them another shot. They didn't miss.

I'll be honest there seemed like a ton of false starts last night including some from us. That LT was holding Lenhardt a lot too. We got away with a couple holds I think but they were getting away with some bad ones all game. B1G really needs to actually evaluate these refs

B1G refs aren't biased against Nebraska.  B1G refs are just bad against both teams, you just remember the calls that go against Nebraska.

 

A play or 2 before the Minny TD, there was a probably pass interference as well as a roughing the passer which was missed.
