Wonder if we get another apology from the BIG! These officials are corrupt gigantic pieces of shit! The BiG may issue another apology, but does anyone ever believe they will do anything about it? Never in a million years will they ever! The B1G has been and are gonna keep us this conference's lil biotch forever! Sometimes, the money isn't worth it! Hell, the SEC would show us far and away better respect than the self entitled and self serving ass clowns of this one!

I think the game is extremely hard to referee in real time, but if you have one play, the qb doesn't make any moves in the pocket, doesn't buy time, doesn't avoid rush or open up passing lanes and just throws into double coverage, I have a hard time rewarding the offense for that. This is the same thoughts I have about illegal hits...if the defense gets beat, they lose the ability to "make up for it" by knocking out the ball carrier. And if the offense puts themselves in a position that the only way to win is to throw basically a hail mary, then live with the contact. I would say, the offensive player should have been shoving as well.

It is hard, excep these officials in this conference blatantly and intentionally pull this crap as they deem themselves as invincible and above reproach.

 

[Joedaly]

Our WR fights back and I’m sure we get a flag. It’s a loss either way.

They are getting better at apologizing so that's improvement.

Another drive that should have ended was on the one they just tossed up. Robinson ran out of bounds to come back to that ball. I believe Nebraska could have challenged that one though and didn’t.

 

[Husker4real]

DR was obviously trying to throw a 50/50 ball to his tallest/biggest receiver there. He threw the ball to a spot - the USC DB saw it and rather than play the ball, grabbed Banks’ jersey. That didn’t slow Banks enough, so as the ball was getting closer and Banks tried to maneuver to the spot, the DB literally yanked Banks backwards. That enabled the 2nd DB to easily get into position to pick it off. Banks never had a shot to make a play on the ball BECAUSE HE WAS BEING INTERFERED WITH!!!

 

[HuskerAlum92]

The B1G does not apologize. They acknowledge that a certain call was in error. Not the same thing.

Sadly we have seen an example of that this year.

It’s PI by the letter of the law. None of your secondary conditions should matter.

But it does because it never gets called. It is just like holding being on every play but the refs are looking for at specific players and specific keys on specific teams. So if your team gets caught holding a lot, they are likely to catch you. The games are already way too long but the only way to manage it would be challenges on PI or Holding...and as bad as it is...it is still way better than 30 years ago when guys wouldn't even catch a ball or be in bounds or cross the goal line and it would count.

Did they call offensive holding on USC? Probably not - how many games is that now with no holding calls?

Yeah, what is that stat again? Like how many offensive holding calls have we had compared to our opponents?

They sure did with that fk up in the Ohio St game.

They were grabbing our dline around the neck all day.

I think they let Nebraska hold yesterday also.

It was a terrible crew but if they aren’t calling anything we should just be playing that much more physical and we never do.

 

[cruelhalo]

There were 7 to 10 plays (Nebraska on O) when the ref didn't spot the ball properly. A few instances were agregious as shit. In addition to learning how to coach and figure out clock management, Rhule needs to be all over this.

 

[SkulzNBonz]

They were getting away with defensive holding and PI all game long. Banks catch down at the 2 or 3 where he was ruled OOBs there was a PI there and wasn't called.

 

[redli]

In addition to everything else, it's clear that the opposing db's are being taught to hold and interfere. It's become very egregious and there's nothing we can do about it. It's popping up in most games vs. Nebraska now.

Go back and watch the number of holds that came from their O that were never called, not just the line but their receivers and backs as that was the only way they were able to keep us from making monsterous plays in their backfield which we spent quite a bit of the day in and yes our D was faster than their O as for the most part when they got big chunk plays we ran their skill guys down and caught em from behind including Bullock. We used a 4 man rush all game and mauled their OL.

You have got to have some sort of mechanism where a non-call can be challenged by a booth review. Each team gets one per half.

I agree. We have replay in order to make sure the game is called properly. It is a way of being able to correct incorrect officiating. Why limit it then to just the actual play? Why not use it to determine the legitimacy of penalties and non calls? Of course, that could get out of hand so I like your suggestion that each coach get one “penalty challenge” per half that would include a review of non calls as well as calls.

Why not do it like volleyball? Coaches get 2 challenges per game. Win your challenge and you retain it. Lose the challenge and it goes away. Would make using them strategic. When the booth announcers consistently point out how obvious penalties are missed each week, it has become egregious. Even Clay Travis, who has no allegiance to the Husker, pointed out the last play was horrible.

Then, make these challenges part of the review system for officials. If you are making the wrong calls, or consistently not calling obvious penalties, get demoted.

And to say those are judgement calls is disingenuous. They review targeting calls all the time. Would be nothing to correct an obvious PI or holding call.

On the replay even the announcers noted the non called PI

Rhule challenged 1 spot and corrected it-it was a yard off and changed the awarding of a first down. And it was obvious.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

Not just the announcers but their rules expert said plainly that it was PI.

Exactly!!
