Officiating Incompetence and Corruption...

[Volare]

Not just in the Big 12!

"On the final play of the third quarter of Washington State’s game at USC on Sept. 21, Trojan quarterback JT Daniels scrambled and ducked to a knee. After he’d established himself as down, Washington State linebacker Logan Tago dove at him headfirst and initiated clear helmet-to-helmet contact. The play drew both a flag for roughing the passer and a review for targeting."​

I bet this happens more than we know.

Sometimes when a targeting call seems to clearly hit every stipulation of targeting, yet is overturned, I always wonder who made the final call.

Turps targeting call vs ISU that was reversed was shocking to me, and I immediately wondered how that happened. This article proves there are people of power influencing officials at the highest levels.

Only surprise to me is that anything came out about it.

I’m not sure that’s targeting either if I’m being honest. I see helmet to helmet contact but I also see a defender who appears to be trying to pull up at the very end. He could have absolutely hit him much harder and with far greater intent.

Obama ref replay crew just confirmed a call on an obvious Baylor INT

I’m switching between GA LSU and bovine Baylor. I’ve seen 2 bad calls against Baylor. One PI and the obvious interception called incomplete. How many others have I missed.

Just included OR WA. Oregon uniforms are horrible........do I see a pattern ND just got a favorable PI call as I type this.

You’d have to be as naive as they come to think all these decisions are being made in the Get Smart Cone of Silence.

You are right. That was clearly a great play and interception by Baylor.
Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

They also blew an obvious backwards pass. Blew the whistle so they couldn’t even review.

Sounds like they really blow.

As I wrote after the targeting on Turp getting reversed, I said that I seen a reluctance by the replay official to confirm targeting so far in the 2018 season. Whatever is behind that reasoning begs that the rule needs to revisited in the off season by the rules committee.

The 3rd party influence in the PAC 12 game is damning imo. Also, the fact that the other conference offices are involved also replay rules interpretations live is concerning. I applaud the Big 10 for limiting all input to the officials on the field and replay official in the booth at the stadium.

The other conferences may have had good intentions with their conference HQ on game days but it opens up a can of worms imo. My mother used to tell me when I would goof up and I had an excuse; “Son, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

Steroid ref is involved in the BYU vs Hawaii game. I forgot the big 12 and Mwc share referees.

 

[BigPurple87]

I'm not sure that's targeting

 

[MTfrog5]

This wasn’t called on the field. Booth buzzed down to call targeting.

Kid better be suspended next game

I only saw the slo-mo replay, so maybe it was worse in real time, but that didn’t look ejection worthy to me.

Turp’s was 10x worse
