An ***-backwards intrusion to determine that an incomplete pass was ... an incomplete pass

 

[Garnacho]

Wow that was some bull****.

The dudes who couldn't tell you what a Safety is should have quit last year too.

Such a poorly ran conference… we need to get out and pray the SEC or BigTen will take us

Embarrassing.

I didn’t think they could review a play after the ball was snapped. Here the replay officials are going back 2 plays. Thats crazy

They had a review on a first down in the Arizona v Kansas State game, late in the 4th with Arizona driving. Nobody could understand why but it took nearly 8 minutes to decide a call that everyone else watching knew. Meanwhile Kansas States defense got a free rest.

More refs should quit

This in game booth audio is fascinating. ACC refs under such fire, might be a good way to combat the foolishness.

Neither of which conference refs know what targeting is?

Just saying. The refs suck in all 3 conferences.

Sorry if already discussed, but this guy is Al Riveron’s replacement as head of ACC officiating and replay.

Just watched the play in OP; at least this ref took a principled stand lol. And, most importantly, he was right.

Looks like it paid off. I cannot tell if he ever returned to refereeing last season or not.
