BYU v SDSU Open Thread

[MarkGrace]

I don't think it is just Heaps. I think they don't trust the receivers to run the right routes and catch the ball. The interception was because Holt ran a terrible route allowing his guy to make a great play on the ball. I saw a lot of really bad routes today.

And this was probably the other factor. I watched quite a few other games today and our receivers are just sad sad sad by comparison.

I would be really pissed. I am sorry, I never like to say refs made an impact but they did today. Like I said, I didn't see the play ER was referring to but the two that went BYU's way today were bad and cost Suck Dog St big time.

I saw it and to me it isn't even close when comparing the two plays. The SDSU fumble was questionable and the review was not clear. There is no way you can say that about the BYU fumble. And that PI was terrible.

Yep. That PI was awful.

What wasn't clear about the review?

I'll agree that the BYU fumble was even clearer (although I disagree that the first review wasn't clear), except that you have no idea when the whistle was blown (like Cardiac pointed out). I remember watching it in real time and thinking, wow--they blew that quick, even before I saw the fumble. Sure, JJ fumbles anyway if they don't blow it, but they did.

This is something I was wondering, with regards to independence, who will officiate our games?

MWC officials are horrible. Even on replay they can't make the right call.

[SCcoug]

Not sure the PI was such an awful call. Dude (and I mean this in the most respectful way possible) had a arm wrapped around Chambers grasping his forearm, and OC really sold it too which doesn't hurt.

I thought the review could've gone either way, but at the same time, I thought the PI was pretty clear. He had his arm around OC and his hand on OC's left arm until he dove for the ball.

You can't see if the ball goes out of bounds or not on the SDSU fumble and that is what the ref originally called.

On the BYU fumble I agree they blew it quick but that doesn't matter. The rule states that if a play is blown dead to quickly and the player fumbles, the replay can overturn it. There is just no way I can come up with a way BYU keeps the ball in that situation. BYU didn't fumble because the play was blown dead to quickly and he let go of the ball.

You must not have watched thesame call I did. It was horrible. OC did a great job acting on that.

So an arm wrapped around the back while grasping the receiver's arm before the pass gets there is ok? Who knew?

I agree that OC sold it, but I disagree on the amount of contact. If that call had been on Logan with the situation reversed I would be livid.

Well his arm wasn't wrapped around him and he has every right to the ball that OC does and he clearly beat him to it. Take the blue glasses off.

[SCcoug]

Loved the more aggressive attitude on D. I am much more optimistic about the year outside of TCU and Utah.

I didn't see it, but Greg Wrubell did and he said it was definitely a penalty, so I don't know what you're bitching about.

You are really going to trust Wrubell's opinion on a questionable call going BYU's way?
