The official in the booth must have been just as confused as the referee looked at the end of that play. No one has mentioned the poor ball-spotting throughout the entire game. It's almost like these officials didn't even care.

I kept waiting for the flag, and when it didn't come, and PSU was awarded the ball (incorrectly) after the 'Bama fumble (which occurred after the Bama player was down), all I could think was that it was a blatant makeup call by the officials for screwing up. Was it a turning point, yeah. It would have given us a second and 1 at the 11 yard line, with a shot at least of getting on the board.PSU Laxernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572799361125216095.post-90219431263006159712010-09-14T11:33:06.159-04:002010-09-14T11:33:06.159-04:00Wow do you think that play really turned the so ca...Wow do you think that play really turned the so called tide of the game?Weekend at Bernie's IVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572799361125216095.post-21778025369931459432010-09-14T09:30:35.477-04:002010-09-14T09:30:35.477-04:00"I'm not waiting for the guy to buzz me b..."I'm not waiting for the guy to buzz me because we royally fucked up." <br /><br />That's the best line I've ever heard to describe Big Ten officiating.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00368517095433516902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572799361125216095.post-17800606944307967432010-09-14T09:22:23.091-04:002010-09-14T09:22:23.091-04:00That entire play is the epitome of Big Ten officia...That entire play is the epitome of Big Ten officiating, it was a complete FAIL from beginning to end. I thought it was hilarious when the whistle was blown the head official turned to the camera without missing a beat and said "the play is under review" as in "I'm not waiting for the guy to buzz me because we royally fucked up."Galenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17068113556245153541noreply@blogger.com
