Pass Interference on that last pass

It should have been called. This wasn’t a pile of players jockeying for position, it was an obvious interference. BiG officiating is bad and the conference doesn’t seem to care.

So if a guard dribbles in the lane 1 on 3 and get fouled going to the bucket, the defense should knock him to the ground and the refs should ignore them knocking him to the ground because they shouldn’t reward a bad play?

WTF kind of stupid logic is that?
I think if a guard is out of control and makes a bad play, he shouldn't get a foul call....even if he gets knocked to the ground. Like if he darts right into a triple-team and technically a defender's foot wasn't planted.
 
Wisconsin had another defender standing right where a perfect pass would have been. If somehow the receiver still caught the ball, he certainly would have been stopped short the endzone.
We don't know any of that for certain. He may have caught the ball for a TD, he may have been short, he may not have even caught the ball. What we do know for certain is that it was pass interference that wasn't called.
 
It's my opinion that PI shouldn't be called on these kind of plays. On under-thrown balls when the receiver stops suddenly.
Why should the rules be tossed because you think it shouldn't be called? Receivers often have to come back for the football, stretch for the football, etc.

It's simply my opinion. I think PI should be a judgment call as well as a by-the-wording call.

A flag could have been thrown. But it wasn't a blatant attempt to cheat or the worst call ever.
 
Neutral opinion here, as I'm from Minnesota.

I like the no-call. I don't like rewarding a bad play. The receiver was triple covered. If the pass would have been on-target, there was another defender standing RIGHT THERE to break it up. But the pass was under-thrown, causing the receiver to stop and the trailing defender to bump him.

Yeah, yeah, I know that technically it was pass-interference. But I've always liked some common-sense and discretion to be used. Same with 'targeting'....if there's nothing the defender can do to avoid it, if he has a full head of steam and the offensive player ducks down into him....I like the no-call.
Was it dpi or not? Bad or stupid play should have no bearing on whether to throw the flag or not. You sound like a b1g official

Call it or get rid of the rule all together. We obviously have enough human error involved in these games, we don't need to add to it.

I don't like human errors or differences in judgment either. But in my opinion, there's no other better choice.

Lol.... committing a terrible pass interference on a last second throw is the defition of a bad play, and you're completely fine with rewarding Wisconsin by them not calling it. What a numbnut..
 
Not a penalty if the refs don’t call it. If we don’t give up an opening KO TD and tackle Allen we win. We fixate on calls when other things lost us the game.

We certainly did plenty earlier in the game to lose, but we also did things to put us in position to win at the end. Everyone can agree the call should have been made and if it was made, could have change the outcome of the game.

I hate any time the refs make a call that significantly impacts the outcome of a game. However, when you tackle a player about to catch a pass that will give a team a first down or touchdown at such a critical point in the game, you have to make the call.

That no call impacted the game in the same way as your lack of tackling on the KO and two long Allen runs.
 
Corcoran held, it was obvious, take the blinders off. Your not going to get a 4&20 bailout call, even if it is PI
Would have been 1 down at the 10 with 4 seconds left.. Pass interference is pass interference..

Can’t wait to see this happens to Ioway one of these years..
 
When you get tackled as you jump for the ball, there's nothing to sell.

I have to admit. I thought Betts went up for it pretty lazily. If he goes back for the ball more aggressively the defenders interference would have been hard to miss.

My first reaction when watching the play live was yelling at Betts for not going back to the ball and not trying hard. Then I saw the hit on replay and changed what I was yelling about.

What makes people think we would have converted on the next two plays anyway when AM has choked away any previous high stakes situation? DPI call or not, the end result is likely the same. It's pathetic all the fans that blame the refs after every loss who can't accept the fact our team is terrible and our record is a direct reflection of that. The receiver did not make much of an attempt to come back to the ball, and he did not act like the contact affected him much. Given those circumstances, the refs are not going to call it and that's the same thing that would happen for any set of teams in any other conference. Bitching at the refs after every loss as Husker fans love to do is a very pathetic look.

Who determines "out of control"? I have seen and been one who could spin, fall backwards, nearly hit the floor but get a shot off and make them. You want to take factors out by inserting more, that would go well.

No, I've just never felt the need to blame the refs after a loss. Let alone after every one of our 28 losses we've had under Frost like a lot of loser Husker fans like to do.

The refs did not lose that game for us or others. But it's perfectly fine to be upset with the refs after a missed call like that and others that have been pretty terrible.

I'd like to think very few people actually feel they are the reason we lost.

Michigan was a different story.. We were screw in a lot of calls that night and Michigan had a bad call against them that I’ll admit too..

But the officiating was terrible giving us any chance to win that game and keeping Michigan to play for the conference title..

No they didn’t but they do control the flow even thought the number of penalties and yardage is roughly the same but one teams penalties might not be at a critical time compared to the other team

How did clock management effect the final drive? We ran out of downs, not time.
It's all second guessable. I understand the point. You could have probably tried a run play or two instead of passing by conserving more time earlier. The counter argument is that you didn't want to leave any time on the clock for Wisconsin. Hindsight in this case might or might not be 20-20. No way to know. It's just a good thing to debate.

You are correct. But it’s easier to accept a loss when the refs do their jobs. The refs should never be a factor in a game. But they have been in numerous games.

There were plenty of reasons for Nebraskas loss and I certainly wouldn't pin it on that missed call. That doesn't mean I think it's ok to miss a DPI call at a crucial moment just because "we would've lost anyway"... Call that sh#t..
 
It was a terrible no call but no one outside Nebraska cares because it happened to a three win team.
i can personally assure you that was not the case. it was fortunate i did not have my remote in hand else my tv would have a hole in it.

While possibly true, that would have stopped the clock as a first down and we had 2 time outs.

Just on this board, I've seen bitching about the refs in probably every one of our losses the last 4 years. It really gets old.

Learned years ago during the 1994 Orange Bowl for the National Title that while the refs may be crap awful, you still have the game in your hands to win. If there was ever a game in Husker history that we really should have won when it really mattered and outplayed the other team, it was that one.

I was then well prepared for the shitshow that was the 2010 Texas A&M game that was a close 2nd to the worst officiated game in Husker history.

The uncalled PI was garbage, but we didn't make enough plays to beat Wisconsin and made too many mistakes that put us into a 4th and 20 position needing to score a TD with seconds left in the game.
 
It was a terrible miss by the officials. I have never bought the notion that officials know (or are in) on who is supposed to win a game so that the conference can get the championship game they want. I just don't believe that's true and if it were, someone would have spilled those beans somewhere along the way.

That said, I do believe the officiating is terrible at times. I believe it's just human error and people who aren't always good at their jobs....akin to players who make stupid mistakes at the most inopportune times.
As counter-evidence, I give you the 2010 A&M game.
