Prince INT

I am just watching the ABC broadcast now, and saw Prince pulling the jersey of the receiver as he made his cut inside. Just curious what you guys thought. Good no call or missed call? It was big considering that basically resulted in our only TD.

Prince had a lot of jersey, and that's a call that can go either way. As many times as we had flags thrown at us for bogus calls, that's one I'll not feel to guilty about on the other end. Plus, if they're not going to call holding ONE TIME on the OU O Line in 58 pass attempts, this goes a little way to washing that out.

 
OU had so many blatant holds it was disgusting. Karma

The officials are terrible... all around, no biases they just sucks.

That play was a lot more of a penalty than when they nailed Prince with PI on that long pass where he watched the ball the whole way.

We don't talk about that.

 
i can understand missing calls like this with the speed of the game and all, but the thing about the officiating this year that gets me are the blown replay/review calls. how do you (1) not review a play that clearly needs to be reviewed or (2) blow the call even after video review (see LSU int against Alabama this weekend)? the system is in place for a reason, to be used to get calls right. lately, this has not been happening.

The problem with replay is that the replay-official basically looks for any excuse to back the call on the field even though the fieldguy too often didn't get the best look at something that happened quite quickly. IMO the replay guy would get it right much more often if he focused on what they see and not what the call on the field was.

Plus in the case of LSU/'bama you have SECheats refs doing what they've done the rest of the season and protecting the higher-ranked team.

 
Did you think that maybe he was just feeling his material? If he didn't gain any advantage by pulling on the jersey, the ref should keep the flag in his pocket. Too many needless calls slow down the game.

 
I watched the replay a couple times and yes, even though Amukamara had his hands on him, you are allowed to put your hands on a receivers after 5 yards in college football. It was basically a judgment call and by the time the ball was thrown Prince was making his cut and his hands were off the receiver.

 
I love how everyone is so understanding that it is a judgment call when its a call that goes our way. But if by chance its a call against us we get tons of the their purposely screwing us and they have it out for BO post.

I happen to be very understanding of judgment calls whether they go against us or not, because they are based on opinions.

In my opinion, what Prince did was legal because the NCAA rules say that you can have your hands on a WR after five yards. Prince did not interfere with the catch. The WR could have fought harder to get to the ball rather than let prince cut in front and take it from him.

In essence, the ref could have called it if he wanted but I don't believe it would have warranted a call. Even though I don't like penalties getting called against us, I'm very understanding of the ones I agree that we deserve.

Like how understanding the OU fans are being about the zero holds called on 58 pass attempts by a make-shift O Line against perhaps the best defensive line in the country, yet they have a two-page thread about how Amukamara "mugged" Tennel on the INT play?

It's just human nature.

 
It was a total missed call. Cracks me up when we get a good 'no call' and it pays off that "It could go either way" or "There are too many tick-tack calls".

But if the roles are switched...there would be 17 threads on here on how we got screwed. Every year there is proof throughout the seasons that we are not only the greatest fans in football, but the most hypocritical.

"GOOD NO CALL REF! GOOD NO CALL!!!"
