I agree with you 100%. We don't have any control over bad calls. I think Campbell was correct to take a time out and yell in that refs face. The players need to execute better when it mattered. I honestly thought the special teams were going to lose it for us but they played well. It was a good game and I think we are better than Baylor.
**** the refs
- Thread starter CoKane
- Start date
What difference in where in the field? College is anywhere as long as the ball isn’t in the air. Pros you have 5 yards.
Totally agree. Hey…if you’re going to call the Freyler play, it sucks, but “okay”, just as long as it’s consistent. It was not consistent.
And also throwing someone out for that type of hit.
Repeating but if it's a launch or head butt that's clearly intentional, sure, that's up there with a punch imo.
They were horrendous. To not even know the rule on the Anthony Johnson TFL that they called an illegal block should result in a suspension/sh*t canning.
You have to have officials on the field who at the bare minimum know the rules of the game, even if it's a new rule for this season.
I'm still fuming...
Yeah, consistency with targeting calls is just all over the board. And it'd be one thing if that inconsistency was just game to game, which would be annoying but you can live with it. But so often its wildly inconsistent even within games.
Should just make it a yardage penalty. Even if its more than 15 yards.
Was leading with the crown/spearing not a penalty before all of this or am I remembering it wrong?
Baylor fan, sexual assault, putting other teams in physical harm, starting fights , a coach that runs on the field and goes after players (rhule) it’s their dirt ball culture.
It's one thing to call targeting and boot a defender for a hit on a defenseless receiver. I can live with that.
But ejecting a player for a crown of helmet hit on a running back around the line of scrimmage is a bad rule. And it's a horrible rule when officials call it inconsistently.
Well we learned today that a CB taking on a blocker like it's a preseason drill is not a football play. So there's that.
It's sets the tone of the game as well.
All of a sudden is defense is thinking over everything instead of reacting.
That's not good.
It looked like his (Freyler's) shoulder made contact pretty much at the same time as his helmet.
I've seen similar plays ruled as non-targeting after review. There was supposed to be more of an emphasis this year on hits that were clearly leading/launching, rather than hits like Freyler's.
You are kind in thinking it was a matter of ignorance. They knew what they were doing out there. Hoped this kind of thing would end with Texas and Oklahoma leaving. Unfortunately they still feel the need to give their chosen schools a hand up. It would be really nice to find another conference, this one will never be worth a s**.
We also had a QB in the pocket called down because his forward progress stopped.
That call was mystifying. I never did see a replay, but it looked like perfect technique.
It didn't even look like Johnson was low. We are getting to the point where rules are putting DEFENDERS AT RISK of injury!!
This game had shades of WVU last year where I honestly could not believe what I was seeing from the officials. Just absolutely laughable. Could we have played better? Absolutely. But don't pretend like the stripes didn't play a huge role in the outcome of this game.
