HANC Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Ok, I will go on record saying that the refs did NOT cost Nebraska the game. The offside penalties were obvious... the pass interference call was HORRIBLE to say the least, but that happens. Question: On SC touchdown pass in 2nd half, it looked as if David was going to take the RB out of the backfield. On replay, he was getting BLOCKED as the ball was in the air !!! 1. If the SC was a TE, then this is offensive pass int. or a "pick" 2. If the SC was an OL, then it was definitely an illegal man downfield. How can neither one of these get called... it was right out in the open ? Is my interpretation wrong? Maybe I saw it wrong, that is why I am asking? If I am right, they just missed it. Question: Should it have been called? - Regardless, we lost and it doesn't change anything. Quote Link to comment
The Maudfather Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I wondered the very same thing on that late wheel route to their running back. Sure looked like a pick play to me. Quote Link to comment
husker1974 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 If I remember right it was the fullback and yes it should have been called a pick. Quote Link to comment
jimmiet99 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 it was the fullback but should have been called offensive pass interference. Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Don't know if it was in the air but the refs were fairly lenient on downfield contact - witness Denard vs the thug MVP Quote Link to comment
husker1974 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 it was the fullback but should have been called offensive pass interference. I get confussed on this what is the difference between a pick and offensive pass interference? Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Noticed this on the replay as well. I'd like to say "any crew who could miss the facemask against Cotton could miss anything" but instead I'll go with David was really close to the LOS at the snap and it was a straight block where he just pused David downfield. I'm not exactly sure how the NCAA rules read but that's very possible. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I get confussed on this what is the difference between a pick and offensive pass interference? OPI draws a flag. A pick is when they let it go. 1 Quote Link to comment
GBR #1 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 How about the horse collar on TM inside or near the read zone. Kyler Reed caught the ball, but we should have had an automatic first down near the goal line. Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The one we all saw was the pass interference penalty on our DB when the ball was 8 yards beyond the receiver and the only contact was a slight hand touch to the chest.....something that was allowed all day. However it happened after Dennard and their receiver were both tossed and I wonder if it was a makeup call or a "we're going to make a statement" call by the refs. If I remember that was a third down and SC would have either punted or attempted a FG....instead they have a first down inside the 20. Quote Link to comment
MJSkers Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I wondered the exact same thing. Blocking the guy who is supposed to cover a receiver makes the game MUCH easier. I won't blame the whole game on the refs, but they sure didn't help in some key situations. Now, all of those false starts and holding penalties...shot ourselves in the foot the entire second half.

HuskerExpat Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 No doubt the RB was David's responsibility, as the replay shows he clearly looked frustrated at the pick/OPI as the TD was scored. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Probably a clean play. But there were some no-calls that were especially infuriating: the DPI where the receiver gave up on the ball, the unnecessary roughness that was "not seen", the horse collar on Taylor. All fairly visible, all not called. But whatever, the refs didn't hurt us as much as we did ourselves. Quote Link to comment
