krc1995 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 It must have been a bad call. I've had three unrelated non Husker fans approach me today in Chicago and say we got screwed. Really looked like Westercamp gave up on the play. Was the ball catchable or does that not matter? Quote Link to comment

Ratt Mhule Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Well we will never know if the ball was catchable because Watt picked him and he had to slow down his route. Same thing that was called offensive PI on Brandon Reilly last week... 1 Quote Link to comment
3rd and long Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 From the only angle I've seen it looked like the ball was just a couple of yards away. That's only two steps. Hard to be definitive, but I certainly don't see how anyone could have been sure enough that was uncatchable, certainly not enough to negate a contact on the receiver. Tommy's never been good at checking down, but in fairness, most times did he have enough time to find the secondary receiver? Seemed he made a lot of throws on the run or with pressure in his face.

Landlord Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Most all Wisconsin fans I've seen on reddit agreed that it was blatant PI and couldn't believe it wasn't called, so let's forget about the, "If it was called against us we'd all argue it was clean" argument please. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Heh, you know damn well several would have argued it was a clean play if it were on us. Quote Link to comment
Bigred_inSD Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I have a good friend who is a Wisconsin fan and HATES Nebraska, I texted him about this play as soon as the game ended and he replied " I have no idea what you are talkng about" with that sacrastic smilie emoji. It was PI should westy have let up? No, had he ran through it and ran into Watt maybe it would of drew more attention and a possible flag, live and learn, but refs are having too much effect on games (look at FSU/Clemson game) Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Several, yes. Most would probably agree that the receiver was clearly interfered with and that a flag would have been the least outrageous thing in the world. Quote Link to comment
cm husker Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I actually thought that Westy "settled down" in his route for a moment. He didn't stop because of contact, which could play into the judgment call of whether he was interfered with. Quote Link to comment
cm husker Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 damn, just watched the clip - hate that I inadvertently agreed with Tom D. Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 https://twitter.com/BigTenNetwork/status/793570339636715520That's a bunch of bullsh#t. Jordan keeps running that route fullspeed and he gets offensive PI, or gets hurt. There's contact altering the reciever's route while the ball is in the air by a defender. These offcials need to be held accountable. They blew the call. Bill's explanation makes that more clear to me. At least admit the mistakes. Jimbo Fisher is right. These guys need to be held accountanle too. 1 Quote Link to comment
marko polo Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm being totally legit here: I'm not sure the non-call was all that bad. I kind of thought that during the game but wanted to watch it a bit more. I'd really like to see another angle on this. But it looks to me like Westy slows up and I'm not sure if Watt initiated any contact. Honestly looks like a bit of.a flop by West to me. And I'm a huge Westy fan. But I just don't see much there. agreed so everybody quit cryin! Quote Link to comment

These guys need to be held accountanle too. yeah that last angle they show only makes it look worse. I don't see how anyone can see that as anything but some of the most obvious pass interference ever- probably the worst no call on dpi I've ever seen. That said it wasn't the sole reason for losing the game, plenty of failures by coaches and players in that game, and even getting the dpi doesn't ensure that we get in the end zone. Kind of annoying that pointing out or making the case for this being interference puts you in this camp of "crying." What a bunch of crap. 1 Quote Link to comment
