Four-Star Recruit
I don't want to sound like we should be blaming the officiating in this game on our loss. Our turnovers did that for us.
I do have a question for some who may be more in tune with rules and changes to rules.
Why was the punt that was downed at the one late in the first half not reviewed? The initial State player made a great play on the ball, he deflects the ball back to the one, the next guy to touch the ball has one foot in the endzone when he comes out of the endzone and downs it at the one. A player who is in the endzone can not slap, deflect or whatever you want to call it back into the field of play. (can he?)
The ensuing play we fumbled and state recovers at the 5 and scores just before half! Killer for momentum. Why did our coaches not ask for a review of the punt recovery and downing? They had too see this from the booth on replay.
Secondly, starting the second half we punt the ball down to around the state 10, our defender was clearly blocked in the back right at the point of the catch (attack) How is this call missed? INstead they return it to our 40 or so.
Lastly, Enuwa running his deep pattern in the 4th quarter when Dennard pulls his right arm down and Quncy probably would have clearly made this catch if not for interference on the play. He has Dennard beat on the route, he may have scored, at the least we would have had a first down and in state territory.
Not positive put I think all 3 ot those calls should have involved the same official on all ot them! When the big10 and the refs review this game I hope they call him out on his "lack" of action to make the right call.
State also got screwed big time on the "lineman downfield" which was questionable at best. The did however recover to score on the next play.
I don't like calling officials out, I believe the "back judge or possibly field judge" was involved in 3 calls or "no calls" that really hurt us. He should feel like a failure when he reviews the tape.
