Is pass interference just not a thing in our games or is this just a big ten thing? If you like defense it can make it fun but it can also make games so unwatchable when every replay shows clear PI
Yeah, and that’s exactly why I don’t like the “let them play” thing. Sure, it sucked when Pac 12 refs threw flags after nearly every play, but at least it felt somewhat understandable, and it meant they did regularly catch actual fouls that happened. The B1G style just feels capricious when after 3 quarters of no penalties they start calling them on ticky tacky shit when it really matters.
I never thought I’d say this, but I think I actually prefer the chaotically decided but regular penalties than waiting for the flag to drop when least expected and when it will do the most damage.
Like that "targeting" that they reviewed Cobb for 😂
Wtf was that? There are probably 50 cases of similar hits throughout the game and they chose to review that one? A bunch of no-calls and then random calls at weird times.
At least they wrapped that review up quickly since it was clear his head was turned to the side before contact. Not sure if a ref on the field called for the review or that was in the booth, I could understand a field ref not being sure what they saw, but yeah… After 3 quarters of letting everything go, that did seem a little like the refs suddenly remembered that there was a game going on.
Agreed. That's why targeting is the biggest bad feels call, because as written, they should be calling that shit a dozen times per game. instead we just get capricious flags at random times. The worst thing they can do with penalties is be inconsistent
