My bad

[Scoe]

No doubt. Everyone saw it today. EVERY key call went Ball States way. Refs should be called out publicly.

Their names need to be called out publicly and so do the names of the MAC officiating committee.

the people to blame are much closer. The UConn athletic department is ultimately the problem to agreeing to MAC refs.

 

[Derucky]

Discipline? There were more phantom fouls than actual penalties against UConn this game.

That's for sure. Refs should be held accountable

Charlton had a bad second half of play calling.

No doubt. Cost the game because the refs took over when UConn started struggling.

 

[shizzle787]

The two most egregious ref decisions were the targeting call and the no-call for block in the back on their last TD run. If that gets called, they are backed up on the edge of field goal range.

Hope at least Mora says something. Yeah the offense stuggled. And the refs were biased. Say both things.

Think they would've missed it if that was UConn?

I would’ve said the same thing had we won.

 

[Skiblets]

Any time we had momentum in the second half, the officials found a way to take it away. It's the most egregious game cooking I've ever seen. I'm flabbergasted.

Don’t remember any momentum
In the second half

Field goal block.

Why the hell did they agree to that, and if that’s the case our athletic department needs to be called out by name too.

 

[Derucky]

UConn 12 penalties....Ball St 2.

Ouch.

And if you notice, home-biased refs will make calls for the away team only when they don't matter to try to look fair. Like people can't see through it.

Were they MAC refs?

It use to be the referees came from the away teams conference, and I thought we have certain leagues that we use

as far as I could tell it was a MAC crew and it took me awhile because the number of "Ron Hudson"s in football.

 

[formerlurker]

Haven't read the whole thread, has anyone mentioned the obvious facemask on the kick return? Almost unscrewed Victor's head from his neck and no one said anything.

The nice thing about being independent is you can criticize officiating and the conference can't tell you to keep quiet...since we are not in a conference

 

[ZooCougar]

I only caught the 2nd half, and we regressed about a year. It was just bad football, bad playcalling, no discipline.

This is a very bad take.

 

[jdb50]

A. Turner got hit helmet to helmet while his arms were down as he was being tackled. The defender led with his helmet. The reversal was inexcusable. On the tipped pass reversal their receiver was not held but fell down. The ball was uncatchable. It was a made up call.

 

[ZooCougar]

flags were literally coming out after we had first downs on multiple occasions. the flags were after the whistle multiple times

Everyone knows you can probably call holding on every play. It seemed like every time we made a play they discovered a foul.

We also didn’t ourselves many favors with things like false starts.

But the last time I felt this frustrated with officiating was maybe the Notre Dame game.

Exactly

When you see stuff like that it's not incompetence, it's something far worse.

Any time we had good field position it seemed like we got a penalty

 

[uconnfan68]

Should have seen the 1st half. We looked like a different team. Then it all went wrong. Refs started making calls that cost us and everything snowballed.

I wish I had. I’m blaming myself for jinxing them.

 

[CableGuy84]

Put me in the camp to blame. Like the OP, I didn't start watching until after halftime.

What a chop job that second half was. My lawd...

 

[ScottVib]

Syracuse home refs did the same thing on the other side of the ball at the very end of the game against Purdue. Purdue took the lead and the refs immediately called 2 penalties worth 25 yards and made them kickoff at like the 10 to ensure Syracuse scored because of something they "said".

Actually in that game the officiating crew came with Purdue from the Big Ten... having seen the game, the penalties were actually legit calls.. it was as complete a meltdown by one team as I've seen as Syracuse managed only one successful play (the winning TD).

There were a lot of "worst calls" but when they were replaying a fumble closer to the camera a defender was hanging on our offensive lineman's leg literally pulling him down in front of of the referee and the umpire. Make the call and it's a first down instead of a turnover.
