Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted October 27 This is just with examples with Oregon, and it did not cost us. Check the Nebraska-Ohio State thread that 30Duck started, and the FOUR blown calls in that game against Nebraska. This is getting serious...

OregonDucks No. 5 Share Posted October 27 The B1G wants to allow teams to play physical but they have to call the obvious penalties: holding on the edge, blatant PI where there is holding, pushing off or a tackle before the ball arrives, etc. Oregon got away with some penalties too (e.g., defensive facemark). The defensive targeting could have been called, even though it wasn't intentional. I believe that the fumble wasn't reviewable because the official on the field blew the play dead. Officials have been taught for years to let the play continue and then the replay official can review the play to see if the runner was down. Hopefully Oregon sends these plays into the B1G office and the refs can be trained better because it seems to be happening every single game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittDuck No. 6 Share Posted October 27 The only way this gets fixed is to have trained referees who do not work for a conference. For that to happen they need paid full time during the season. I don’t see that happening because the way it is done now is cheap and easy. It’s not like there will ever be NIL monies for referees. Why use some of the gazillions they pocket to pay for a quality product, when you can get by with an ok much-of-the-time product for pennies on the dollar? 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck Moderator No. 7 Share Posted October 27 Needless to say, Joel Full of KLATT had a comment on a play when a Nebraska WR was flagged for OPI for extending his arm and pushing the defender to create space, says JFOK, "the official has to call that."

woundedknees No. 8 Share Posted October 27 How much of this is because the B1G hired multiple former PAC officials? And weren't the officials for the 2011 BCS game from the B1G as well? If that were the case, we have no excuse for thinking the officiating is surprisingly bad... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeotechDuck No. 9 Share Posted October 27 Honestly, the officiating has been atrocious this year. I don’t remember a year when so many easy calls were just flat out missed. It seems to be going both ways, so I guess you just have to live with it. It has been nothing short of embarrassing. For a sport that brings in so much revenue, to have officials that are less then competent, is just mind-blowing. It is like going to a 5-star restaurant and getting a plastic spork as a utensil. 1 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they discussed that the missed facemask ended an earlier drive for Illini, so they determined it would be the perfect make up call to pick up the flag. And it really was. They got 3 points out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Marsh No. 12 Share Posted October 27 The fumble wasn't going to get looked at according to the commentators for two reasons if I recall. 1. The ball was loose but no one jumped on it right away. I think Harmon picked it up after a couple seconds but I guess that was not good enough. 2. The whistle was blown early when forward progress was stopped which was before the ball came out. I think both reasons are frankly weak. In the case of numbers one it was clear that a Duck picked up the football. No return possible but Oregon would get the ball. As for the second, I haven't watched a replay close enough to see/hear the whistle blow. Either way... Big time failure by the refs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JabbaNoBargain No. 13 Share Posted October 27 (edited) To me the, the picked up flag was egregious. That was plain as day and there was a reason they threw the flag to begin with. The rest are explainable, garden variety missed calls. I don’t think anyone is out to get us, you’ll see the same complaints at any team site about how Oregon got all the calls.

I didn’t have a problem with this one. The other two were terrible no calls. In an effort to protect the quarterback, the play was whistled dead for forward progress before the ball came out. One could argue the whistle should not have blown, but it did. If it was my QB or ball carrier that was already stacked up, I’d want that forward progress whistle in my favor.

HappyToBeADuck No. 15 Share Posted October 27 I agree with Jabba that the referees are not out to get us. The refs around the country are simply having a very bad year. Very bad. Bama and Miami have had officials change the game or save the game for them. The worst is over turning calls because the fans become unruly or violent. In the Texas vs Georgia game, overturning that call was correct. However it should have come with a 15 yard penalty because of unacceptable Texas fan involvement. The (.......ncaa) can change this immediately. They changed the rules overnight because DL took advantage of a rule. Get it done NCAA and fans get a darn petspective on what matters. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How in the world do they 'un-call' that penalty? The only possibly silver lining is that they appear to equally suck profusely on both sides of the ball.
