which freed up their running back in the flat? It happened all day. The refs should have easily spotted it, but also the coaches should have seen it and talked to the refs about it in the 1st quarter. It was blatant.
Anyone else notice they ran several totally illegal pick plays...

They didn't even attempt to disguise it. The WR came down and flat out blocked the LB. Typically, they try to act like they are running a pattern and accidentally make contact....not here, they just blocked well before the passes were caught. I rewound the DVR on about 5 of the plays and they were so bad.
As the TV announcers put it... the offense calls it a rub, the defense calls it an illegal pick.... tomato, toomaatoe
Not really though. A rub is when routes are close, a pick play is when one of the receivers block with extended arms or intentionally run over defenders.
Im tired of this us vs the refs attitude. Winners don't count on calls to win, they dominate to the point that calls can't stop them from winning.
Normally I'd agree. But in relation to last night it's just calling s spade a spade. We shouldn't have been in a position where it mattered, but that doesn't mean there wasn't some terrible officiating.
Bad officials are bad officials no matter who the team is. That PI call on Kalu was bogus as well. The holding on Moore that called back that big play was a crappy call as well. The DB threw his arms in the air when he saw that he couldn't make the play, the official saw him do that and threw a damned flag. Of course we would ignore some of that if the missed penalties on the picks hadn't resulted in big plays for S. Miss. No excuse for the Zebras yesterday. THEY STUNK and it seemed like S Miss got the benefit of most of the calls and no calls.
It's not complaining about bad officiating. When one is picked, one can not cover. There were more than a few times that one So. Miss player took out, yes, took out, one, even two defenders. As a result, the player become open for an easy completion.
I will agree that you coach that scenario and you then expect your players to execute. As they say, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!!
If the ball is thrown behind the line of scrimmage, blocking downfield is legal I beleive. If it turns into a wheel route and the rb is downfield, then it would be illegal to be blocking the linebackers.
Bad calls should have made it hard to cover the point spread, not hard to win the game! If we are bitching about the refs against Southern Miss and it's not about money, this is going to be a long year.
Which makes it make a little more sense. I remember awhile back we played, I think it was a Sunbelt team, and there was discussion about how the crew seemed overwhelmed by the speed/power of the game in the way it was called. Maybe that was part of it.
Thought we should have won the Miami game? How is that possible if they were penalized more? Or is it only when it hurts Neb? Blue bloods are so annoying. Oregon state has already recruited the same number of 4 stars MR did the past 3 years. How does this happen
I guess it's all in how you look at things. O-state has already recruited the same number of 4 stars as MR did in the last three years (1 by the way). On the other hand MR has already recruited more 4 stars at Nebraska than he did in his last 4 years at O-state. Really just depends on how big a troll you are I guess.Thought we should have won the Miami game? How is that possible if they were penalized more? Or is it only when it hurts Neb?
