Big10 vs SEC Officiating Crew

I’m all for letting them play, but can’t stand the two-hand tackling of receivers when the DB’s ass is beat. Reward DBs for tough physical play and getting in good position, but don’t bail them out when they pull receivers down by the jersey.
 
Crew wasn't good.

Called hands to face 3 times, yet not a single holding penalty.

With the amount of screen passes from BC, there wasn't a single OL illegally downfield? Nary a hold? Nary an illegal block in the back?

We had a chop block called, but not a single holding call? Really?

We were lined up offsides on D multiple times, but they only called it when it mattered.

But would you say they have been better than B1G?
 
Bowl games seem to highlight the disparity in how each conference call penalties, not just B1G and SEC. The style of play can be different, but a DPI or a holding penalty should be the same no matter the conference. And with any sport, it should be the same call in the first minute of a game as the last minute. Shouldn’t be that difficult — but for some reason it is.

People keep harping on the late hit call when DR got hit, but the way the came is called today seeing that in real time, I don't think there's any way they don't call that. I think pretty much every crew makes that call. With the benefit of replay, especially slow-mo, I get it. But live, I definitely get why they threw the flag.

Overall, I'm not sure they were any better or worse than the B1G crews, just different. Definitely let them play more, but I think almost to a fault especially with what DBs were getting away with.

Exactly. There were some no calls on blatant PI.
 
The illegal hands to the face on Scott was bush league, and the no call DPI on Banks on the very same play was egregious.

Otherwise, better by far than anything seen in the B1G.
