I’m still out of my mind at the penalty they called on GR15. What the in actual **** did he do? And Harley’s running into the punter was a joke. He took the right angle. They protect kickers and punters way too much, it’s football you are gonna get hit.

Obviously Miami has bigger problems like Rosier, tackling, and Feagles but who knows Miami could have scored to end the half.

You can’t jump over the wall or whatever they call it. That’s on the coaches for not teaching him that. Rightfully Called penalty.

The Harley penalty reaffirmed my belief that penalties should be reviewed for accuracy. He didn’t even touch the punter and the kickers/punters should be penalized for flopping like they do in soccer. Zero tolerance for flopping
 
Harley penaltys was ridiculous he took the perfect approach to the ball and yeah jumping over the shield is a penalty ... but he got up ended over the shield ... if they can review a targeting penalty 4 plays later they can with that petty call
 
How about the no facemask call when Choc side stepped the rush above? He literally spun him around by his mask and that's a no call?!? Granted, that was late in the game and we had already been **** on in front of the country by that point, but if they go on to score there and convert it would have been a one score game. I couldn't believe that was not called.

Sorry for the sidetrack, but that makes me hot every time I see that clip.

The penalty on the punt was awful on our part, so was the critical roughing the passer and the offsides on 4th down. Rosier was dog sh-t, but Miami did plenty of shooting themselves in the foot elsewhere as well.
 
Thanks for the input that is on Hartley for making sure those guys know. Should have never happened cuz Harley’s penalty before was a joke. The roughing the passer was bad too I thought you have 2 steps max and that’s what Jackson took.

The face mask on Rosier Miami’s last possession would be called 95% of the time and I still think it’s bs a targeting penalty was reviewed.

Miami did do plenty to ***** themselves but the penalties at the worst possible times just made it worse.

He did not jump over the wall, he jumped up and the guy launched into him and flipped him, big difference.
 
It's illegal to leap over the wall. He jumped with his arm outstretched and the blocker flipped him up and over. He was in no way trying to leap over the wall. Still, going forward he needs to keep his feet on the ground in that situation. The Harley penalty was much worse as he didn't even make contact with the punter.

Rousseau's penalty was a terrible call.

The blocker step forward, undercut him, and flipped him. Rousseau never tried to jump over him.

I know this board loves to blame players but that one was an awful call and not what the rule is

^^^ This.

The debacle that was that game was predicated on us not making plays and capitalizing on opportunities (think we dropped 2 picks and forced 2 fumbles, and got none of them). BUT - the ref crew was turrible in this game. They missed a PI call that led to Baxa's FG...Thomas got mugged by LSU's safety in coverage while the ball was in the air, but no call. They neglected to review the "catch" that the LSU receiver made over Dean that set up Brosette's 2nd TD. Also - they should have called offensive PI on that play because the LSU WR flat out pushed off on Dean. All of that was in the first half - and I didn't even mention the Bandy "targeting" call.

In the 2nd half, it wasn't much better or worse, but we still got hosed on the Rousseau/Harley calls that have been mentioned...and one thing that could have cost us Jon Garvin was where there was no whistle after we swatted down Burrow's pass near the end zone, but no whistle - so our guys keep playing and go to recover the ball...Garvin got shook up trying to get downfield to keep playing...and then they blew the whistle right as one of our guys touched the ball at the 30 or so.

And the delays, and the reviews...just UGH...this crew was freaking bad. Apparently it was a Big 12 crew from what I could find on the Google machine.

Hightower got mugged in the endzone that led to the field goal and I still think D Jax wasn’t roughing the passer. I think you get 2 steps after the ball is released and he took 2 I believe. I’ve seen that not been called numerous times. That led to an almost int by Dean and woulda been 4th and long.

Regarding the Rousseau play tho, what exactly is he trying to accomplish in that situation? He is ten yards from the kicker and somehow he is going to jump and block the punt? Come on man he is not superman. He should either be down field blocking or laying his shoulder into that blocker to attempt to take him out of the play. No matter how you shake it this is bad coaching. The player is not being put in a position to succeed and he does not know the rules.
 
Why didn't they review the reception that put them on the one yard line? They ruled he stepped out, but he didn't. If they reviewed it they would have seen he dropped the ball.

Then they reviewed the **** out of another LSU reception near the goal line, but if this was ruled a catch it would have kept them at the original LOS and they'd still have to kick the FG. Their review process lacked sense.

We always get hosed on reviews one way or another. This is why we have to thoroughly beat teams to take officials out of the equation.

He is 6'6" with huge wingspan, he could tip a low punt and was there for that reason.
