Don't have a screen shot, but the clear holding on Barney on the 3rd down where Raiola came up holding his shoulder. Barney breaks inside, there Safety grabs his shoulder to impede his progress and make the throw and catch much harder.

I think you mean "refereeing", not referring.

I don't have a screen shot to upload. 2nd Qtr Ohio State runs the Tush-Push QB sneak to convert a first down.
I rewind it (thank you YouTube TV) to verify that their Left Tackle moved prior to the snap (false start). No call, No flag. tOSU converts the first down instead.
The TV crew announcers didn't mention it because they were too busy rubbing Eddie George's butt and talking about memories.
It was 3rd and 1 QB sneak play. But the Ball should have been moved back 5 yards for the false start that was never called. And It was the only third down tOSU converted in the game. Instead of a 3rd and 6, they get the first down. And the very Next play was a 60 yard TD pass.
Guarantee those same officials call that a false start every time against anyone else. If I can see it, anyone can.
It's the little things like that... SMH.
But tOSU is a top 5 team. Even though I don't think they need the help. But in this case, it did help them.

There is a fine line between bad officiating and crooked officiating.
First time I though about the crew from the Husker-Penn State game in 1982. Maybe it was their kids.

It’s getting to the point that something major has to happen. The conferences have millions to throw around.
Every game should have an official watching from the press box (maybe they already do) but, this official has the ability to question anything. If he questions it, it’s reviewed and gotten right. And that’s anything.
The BS offensive pass interference in the endzone is an example. That was truly F’ed up.
