Crouch facemask vs KSU 98 or seven blind mice PI vs Wisconsin 2016? Dead heat right now...
Which non-call was worse...
- Thread starter Chief Wiggum
- Start date
I don't think Westy acted .. I think what cost us that call was the fact that he slowed down and tried to avoid Watt rather than getting blasted ... there was definitely contact but I think Westy altered his route in order to try and avoid Watt which may have cost us the call
I'm still amazed that Crouch wasn't paralyzed on that facemask.
If you're asking which one was worse in terms of how unbelievably obvious it was? Probably the Crouch face mask. No one can even attempt to argue that shouldn't have been a penalty (though, based on what I've seen, I sometimes wonder if someone would have excused it back when it happened); and, obviously, some people can at least attempt to argue that a no-call was okay against Wisconsin.
Which one was worse in terms of it's effect on the outcome of the game is a different story.

Well at KSU 98, we were down by 3 late in the game...that BS gave us no chance. At Wisky 16, we were down 6 and would have had the ball 1st and 10 at the 12. No one is saying in either scenario we would absolutely won the ball game....but it would have been nice to find out.
There was a roughing the passer call on us against tam a few years ago that was rated the worst blown call of the season on a national level. I believe that was called on Osborn who ended up in Bo's doghouse and was never heard from again.
The worse no call in the game was the holding on whiskys first td. It was so blatant, even in the replay the announcer says, "gets a good block" and then kinda shuts up as he sees its such a blatant hold. It would have been a sack but ended up a td.
Anyone want to mention the PI we got away with on one of their WRs streaking down the sideline? Or no?
My opinion as well. He should have caused more contact. Instead it looked like he sort of tried to sell the call. If Watt weren't there, based on where the ball was thrown, I don't know if Westerkamp makes the catch. It looked like it wasn't close, but it could have been the angle. If the ball was as far from JW as it appeared, it might have been another factor in the referee keeping it in his pocket on that play.
There has never been a program more hosed in losses and near loses than Neb. Never fails.
In the Wisconsin game this year the non-call of the obvious holding on Wisconsin's right tackle cost us a TD on their passing TD. That would have likely led to a field goal attempt instead of a TD. but oh well. That's a bad one considering that likely would have meant an NU win and a continuation of our unbeaten streak.
Welcome back! It's our friend from indiana, you know, the team that was penalized 1 time against Nebraska's 10... But as I recall, Indiana had as much or more to complain about than Nebraska in that game, right Nonsense?
Should have been PI on the Westy play but he still might not have been able to get to that ball.
The Crouch facemask is just astounding. Was that facemask on 4th down?

I agree. Neb was hosed big time in that IU game. That fumble should never even have been reviewed...I mean c'mon...this is Neb and we don't fumble...especially agains IU.
The screw job at Wisky was just as bad..those facemasks and PIs and holding and not respecting us calls. Just unfair.
Rumor has it that the screw job they have planned for us at OSU is going to be epic.
I heard that the "screw Neb" meetings at the BIG are Wed mornings at Dunkin Donuts. Suggest we get some alumni there to demand the respect we deserve.
Too bad you don't have anything better to do than come here and troll... Indiana won this weekend after all, what gives? No one on Indiana board to celebrate with?
That makes sense...
