Let’s talk about the refs

[RedlineSi]

Worst officiated game I’ve watched. Outrageous. If you’re not upset, you weren’t watching.

 

[CNECloneFan]

Don't know how the officials could miss these two game changers.

Let me give you a B1G hint...

 

[CySmurf]

I'll never ***** about Big 12 refs again.

Oh...I probably will.

 

[DSMCy]

I didn’t see the ball or anything that confirmed it?

Blows me away that with all the **** calls that is what you are ******** about.

Well im ******** about a lot. I was just using this as a way to illustrate the ****** officiating.

Yes they directly impacted the outcome of the game.
Missed false start on WSU TD. Maybe they only get a field goal there.
Eni targeting was a horrible call. If he’s in the game, maybe they get one of those sacks.
Eaton “drop” was a catch. Extends the drive and maybe ISU scores.

Those are only the big ones. Who knows what else they missed or got wrong.

Ive never seen where the refs aren't sure what to call on the field, they gather together, make a decision, and its just done. They were all confused at what happened, and we didn't get a token review at least? But Purdy 2 yards deep in the end zone gets a review?

This was infuriating. The ref on the side of the line that clearly showed Purdy diving into the end zone couldn't make the call and needed a review, but NO ONE saw Montgomery fumble and no review! And the Eaton catch, that was obvious?! CMC has to ask for a review?!

 

[Walden4Prez]

Has anyone ever seen a touchdown called back on an unsportsmanlike conduct call?

 

[67CY]

Don't know how the officials could miss these two game changers.

Probably wanted to

 

[IcSyU]

one of those turn over again fall on the **** refs monty was down by contact or forward progress, we've had way more of those calls go against us then maybe any other team in history. Texas 2013 ring a bell????

And how many times has Montgomery busted through something like that and made a huge play? You have to take the good with the bad.

 

[cyclonefan1983]

All I have is here, numerous times Wazzu was called for this but not one time by a clueless Big 10 ref crew?

[LutherBlue]

They weren't great by any stretch but there's enough blame to go around on turnovers and penalties that were significantly bigger factors than anything the stripes did.

Mostly this. If we had not stepped on our dicks all night, I would be really pissed. But it's hard to blame the refs when we probably win the game if our guys can just get the snap count.

 

[Skyh13]

Has anyone ever seen a touchdown called back on an unsportsmanlike conduct call?

Yes. Happened earlier this year against BC I think.

 

[spitfyr36]

Has anyone ever seen a touchdown called back on an unsportsmanlike conduct call?

They started calling those pre td celebrations a couple years back, I can remember at least 1 or 2

 

[wgleason]

It was ‘stands’ because the replay showed nothing...that’s why it was stands. Happy?

The replay from behind the play & left side both show him at least a yard deep and the a ref grab the ball. Splitting hairs but that absolutely should have been confirmed, not 'stands'

 

[ArgentCy]

Has anyone ever seen a touchdown called back on an unsportsmanlike conduct call?

Yes. Several.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Missed False Start on final back shoulder throw.
Missed catch by Eaton, no review cost us final timeout
Missed false start on WSU touchdown at back of endzone
Missed PI in the end zone on Butler with DB holding down his entire left arm

These were the most egregious to me.
Not to mention the second targeting

I’m not totally convinced about the fumble either, but hard to say since they showed two quick angles and then Washington State was snapping the ball.

All in all though, we don’t make our mistakes, we win the game.

 

[Walden4Prez]

Yes. Several.

Guess it was all part of the master plan

 

[heitclone]

I always think the refs are awful so most of the time i think bad calls are normal. The false start and Eaton's catch are two things that aren't even judgement calls, just a person 100% blowing their job. I can get how ISU fans might be biased but the missed false start more than likely gave them 7 points instead of 3, in a game decided by 2, that missed call really sticks out.

 

[NENick]

The call taking away the interception return TD was terrible, imo. I said it here as we watched. I was glad they scored afterwards. It would have been great if the DEF had been able to overcome the 2nd targeting call, which was equally terrible. And couldn't overcome the call of no catch. So I guess we deserved to lose?

If they call this, we more than likely get the ball back. I counted at least 4 times he did this

 

[JusHappy2BeHere]

They were bad, but they didn't have 7 false starts. Offensive line lost us the game

There were about 7 on the Wazu Lt Tackle that weren't called
