Anyone else ever see grounding called on a miscommunication pass?

[TopFrog]

That was bizarre to me. Morris was under no pressure (which is why he was in the pocket.) He threw a deep ball to a receiver who broke off the route.

Several other bad calls. I could swear they stepped off a 15-yard penalty on defensive holding. Maybe I saw it wrong.

The second holding call on 52 was complete BS from the stadium replay I saw.

They initially failed to step off 5 yards for delay of game on WV.

Big 12 refs are terrible.

 

[Not the real Steve Stamp]

Absolutely. Also missed a late hit on their sideline similar to the one called on the Frogs.

 

[y2kFrog]

Yes. I think it is stupid every time I see it too. You can easily tell if it’s a miscommunication vs. intentional. The penalty is literally called INTENTIONAL grounding.

If the refs had called that on WVU you would have gladly taken the penalty.

You know they call that when a play like that happens. As soon as it happen I told the guys I was sitting with I was surprised they didn't call intentional grounding. Morris wasn't out of the pocket and the ball wasn't near an eligible receiver.

No. It will still be an incorrect interpretation of the rules.

The receiver ran the wrong route and Morris was under NO pressure.

Plays like that happen every game and it literally never gets called.

By definition, intentional grounding is to avoid a sack. There is no one in the stadium who actually thought Morris made that throw just to avoid a sack. It was obvious to everyone who he was throwing to and why the throw ended up so far away from the receiver.

I think y'all are misremembering,

Morris was definitely under pressure before letting the ball go.

 

[ShreveFrog]

Grounding call = ridiculous. Probably cost us 3 points. (If Kell could’ve made the kick from about 10 yards closer.)

The first holding on Damonic was called a personal foul, I think. (Also seems ridiculous.) So WV got the result of the play + 15 yards.

 

[ShreveFrog]

@TooColdU - Define pressure. He was not in imminent trouble of being sacked. He threw the ball on time.

No it wasn't called a personal foul. There's no such thing as a personal foul for holding. It was just announced as defensive holding.

And it's pretty amazing that the West Virginia offensive line never held anyone the entire game while somehow our d-line did it twice. I mean if you want to call every single thing that you see then there should've been a handful of holding penalties on their offense.

No logic there. Intentional grounding is meant to be a punishment for a QB throwing the ball away to prevent a loss of yards.

 

[ShreveFrog]

@CountryFrog - That’s what I thought I heard the ref say.

I can't remember with 100% certainty so I won't die on this hill. But I'm like 99.999% certain that it was just holding that was called. Now it's possible that the official announced the wrong thing. I don't know. And I also don't know if they actually stepped off 15 yards as someone else said earlier.

Based on what I saw from that crew last night then none of the above possibilities would surprise me in the least.

 

[campdavid23]

The first penalty was called holding… and he did hold. The second holding was pretty ticky tak. The crew was very inconsistent, saw plenty of black jerseys pulled. WV only had 2 flags

 

[4 Oaks Frog]

Every game you hear talk from the broadcasting crew (yesterday’s were clowns) how Sonny D constantly jaws at the officials…and he does…a lot. He even got PF or UC flag yesterday.
Could it be that we are on a “give no breaks” list” for the officials? If the is anything that is even close, call it on the Frogs. Give the breaks on all close calls to our options. It sure seems that way.
GO FROGS!

[PineyWoodsFrog]

Never seen it before.

 

[Froggy Style]

Sonny needs to stop the screaming in the faces of refs. It’s starting to feel like retaliation.

 

[Fred Garvin]

The most telling call was when WVa was called for delay of game and the refs failed to enforce the penalty. Both teams were lined up before the line official finally figured it out - perhaps with some help from the TCU bench.

There was a blizter coming full on with nothing between him and the QB, but I think Morris got rid of the ball early enough that intentional grounding shouldn't have been called.
