Dirty play and Officiating

I've not seen anything mentioned about the BYU player making physical contact with the referee after the Hail Mary. I know it was a jubilation hug and most likely spontaneous, and had no effect on the outcome as it would have been after the end of the play, but isn't ANY intentional physical contact with a referee a penalty?
Yeah! He should totally be penalized for that. BYU should have had to kick the extra point form the 18 instead of the 3. Oh wait...

 
It takes a lot to get Husker fans as riled up as they were on Saturday. And most times its with a team that Nebraska has some history with (see Miami game last year, or OU, CU, Texas games of the past). So well done BYU and officials. Well done.

There weren't punches being thrown when we played Miami. Quick, how many guys got bloodied or cold cocked? Oh wait... NONE.
You're right, my bad. NU wasn't in any brawls with The U, they were melees:

Husker defense involved in melees...

He said melees--not just one, but more than one--and I believe him because he's a pro journalist and that's what he wrote.

Further:

“We knew it was going to be one of those old school fistfights,” defensive coordinator John Papuchis said. “It turned out to literally be an old school fistfight.”

If Paps said it, it's like the journalist melee guy and I believe them, because they said it and they're pros at what they do.

His eyes are red, has he been tokin' weed?
Judging by your argument, I'd figure you might know!

I stand by my commitment that Randy Gregory et al engaged in a brawl(s) with the U. Some say "melee" and some say "literal fistfight", but I am content with the word brawl. And I also think that guy is high!
