Did refs help us beat oregon?

we got a few calls that we normally don't get. It seemed long overdue to me.

+1 .. I believe they were the correct calls (albeit judgement calls) ... I also have zero doubt that if those penalties were called on us in a close game that we lost we would be screaming bloody murder

All those pass interference calls are a testament to just how good our WRs are.

Posed this question at work, most coworkers said bad calls went both ways, which I agree, but....
The calls that went our way were extremely pivotal.


1. On Pierson-El punt return there were THREE block in the back violations that lead to the big run, this should have been an off-setting penalty and a rekick. We score 7.

2. Pass interference in the endzone on 3rd down, and tommy flailing a throw into the chest of a defender, PI was called even though there was no violation. We score 7.

3. We were jumping all day(false start) and they missed it, but one of the few times they caught it, we snapped it into our wr, and Oregon recovered.

4. With Oregon driving for the win on the last drive they had were called for holding that took them from first down at the 25 to 1st and 20 at midfield. We won the game a few plays later. The call was borderline at best but should have been a no call as blocker released as Qb ran past them and defender turned. They were punished for defender losing contain.


I am happy we won, just documenting that NU gets it fair share of calls, and wins as a result of poor, but unbiased officiating.

Keep in mind those were Pac-12 Refs that Oregon brought. So no I don't think that. Oregon held our D-Lineman quite a bit though so I think it balances out. My opinion

I was at the game and haven't watch the replay on TV. One thing for sure is #1 for Oregon absolutely mugged our wrs every pass play. It was like he was begging for a penalty. Also, the holding on their outside runs was really bad, not even trying to hide it. I realize there is holding on every play but on outside runs turning defenders is going to get the call.

I also can see why you've posted over 5K times and only have a few likes.

Bias doesn't matter in this situation, all that matters is we received the benefit of calls in very crucial situations, in a VERY close game which no doubt lead to a victory. I prefer to live in a state of reality where "my team" can be benefited by refs and not just vice versa.

PS: And what kind of person looks at likes on a husker message board, I would feel terrible if 90% of this board liked what I type.
