Officiating

[DaveH]

Anyone else think that the officiating to this point in the season has been less than par? Especially in the trenches. It seems that there were plenty of people with handfulls of jersey on Saturday that never got called. Anyone else have any input on this topic?

Yes thats all we were talking about during the game how ISU was holding and they were not calling it. Good point

Does the Big 12 review games on a regular basis for officiating performance?

Not unless the coaches dispute a call in it and are not satisifed with the call. The only time a film is forward to the conference for analysis is when the University requests it.

Holding happens on every single play, but when you can see that the guy is unable to change directions to make a play, you HAVE to call it. It looked pretty ridiculous on Saturday's game on certain plays.

Yeah, I kept screaming at the refs but I forgot to turn on the microphone option that ESPN game plan offers.

 

On some of the replays it seemed like we got hosed on pass interference with some questionable non calls on ISU. course I have no bias.

It seems like there are lots of noncalls for holding... I don't know why that is. Every time I see the Nebraska defense struggle, it's usually because we can't get to the QB because the opposing linemen are holding our boys!

I noticed that there were alot of questionable pass interference penalties, both called and missed, and it wasnt just onNU. I think that both NU and ISU could have complaints on quite a few plays Saturday.

 

As far as holding penalties I have totally given up on them. Holding could be called on every single play in football, but the refs have changed the game so that they only call it when a players gets a limb tore off.

 

Kind of a shame.

If the lineman scores more than 1 point for a takedown then they toss the laundry.

Agree totally. Or else Carricker and Moore would out right owned the friggin game. It became quite blatant at times.

of course not

I checked out an ISU message board after the game and they had 2 or 3 threads complaining about the refs- but they were mostly only complaining about the late pass interference call.

can't say i disagree with them on that one but it was probably a bit of equalization after the call on Bullocks (among others). ISU had their hands on our receivers backs but there was no call, yet Bullocks was nailed for it. with borderliners like that, either call it on both teams or don't call it at all.

It seems Carricker has his jersey almost ripped off every play. Against Wake Wali got held like three straight plays.

Hey zebras, for your reference, this is HOLDING

anyone notice in last nights game that after lekevin fumbled and t tech got the ball back that the officials started the clock. ON a change in possession it shouldn't start. With those 20 seconds we may have had time for a field goal.
