Did you see where Roche lined up? The refs always make some mistakes, but it looked to me like Roche had a foot across the line.When I saw the ref throw the flag for a phantom offsides as Roche intercepted Lawrence I knew the way the refs would ***** us like they always do.
The only problem is he didn’t immediately throw the flag. He waited until Roche was about the catch the ball to throw the flag. Watch the replay, it’s quite obvious.Did you see where Roche lined up? The refs always make some mistakes, but it looked to me like Roche had a foot across the line.
We clearly should have lost but to give the best team in the country some at best questionable calls on their two opening drives is pretty bad.We played like crap on both sides of the ball, but we were also the recipients of some bad calls. You can't say they caused our downfall, but going from a stop on 4th down to giving up a first down because a toenail might have been too close to the line on a defensive end who moved backwards is demoralizing.
People notice the bad calls more when we lose and mopes call it blaming the refs when it's only because we examine things more closely.
Yup I said the same thing. But the analyst straight said he threw it right away lmaoThe only problem is he didn’t immediately throw the flag. He waited until Roche was about the catch the ball to throw the flag. Watch the replay, it’s quite obvious.
You’re exactly right. EVERY time an offensive player lowers his head to run over a defender it’s targeting, but on the offense. Most of these highlight reel plays of a runner trucking a defender is because the defender is scared to get a targeting penalty while the offensive player actuality gets to target the defender.Roche was ticky tack, but unfortunately was the right call.
The later targeting call on the hit to Lawrence was ridiculous. First, they never would have made the call but for the fact Lawrence was wincing on the ground for 3-4 minutes. The replay geniuses had time on their hands and health of the college game's top player in question. Second, the so-called TV rules expert & useless old fool, came on to say targeting was technically contact with the helmet from head to foot of the offensive player. Believe that's what he said. If not, correct me. But if that's the case, forget about it being a contact sport and just play flag football. You technically have targeting on about every snap, often with multiple players.
Final point, Miami needs to elevate play to where officials' calls don't impact the game.
Man all that sht is fixed. They let Clemson block us in the back all night.Yup I said the same thing. But the analyst straight said he threw it right away lmao

The line wasn't where the ball was spotted. Watch the clip again.Did you see where Roche lined up? The refs always make some mistakes, but it looked to me like Roche had a foot across the line.
Targeting HAS to be intentional and it has to be helmet to helmet.That targeting call on Keontra is awful. Idc what the rules say, thats awful.
To me there should NEVER be targeting if its not helmet to helmet.
Then the obvious bias on not calling it against the Clemson player.
He was lined up offsides man. Barely, but the right call IMO. Also, Roche dropped I think. (4th down regardless) Get it together bud! LolWhen I saw the ref throw the flag for a phantom offsides as Roche intercepted Lawrence I knew the way the refs would ***** us like they always do.
