I didn't realize that the 12th man at A&M wore stripes. That was the most pathetic officiated game that I've ever seen. Bo had a right to be exasperated - the whole damn state was.
Watch the game again. You'll see very penalty. the only one that possibly was wrong was the roughing the passer, but kicking, cussing, interference, motion etc. are pretty simple calls....Nebraska lost their cool and their class not to mention getting outplayed on the field.
As for the "nut pulling"...$hit like that is pretty common in football. I could see when #81 left the field he was mortally wounded.
No doubt that the roughing the passer was BS- not even close. That kept the drive alive for the winning field goal. However, there were other glaring problems;
1) The defensive interference call (that also kept a drive alive) against Dennard that was offensive pass interference.
2) The interference call against A&M where the d-back had his arm around Kinnie and the flag was picked up. That would of given us first and goal.
3) 30 yards of penalties against Cotton when it should of been 15 against A&M.
4) Unsprtsmanlike against Martin for what? Playing football?
Yeah, grabbing and pinching etc... happens on the bottom of the pile even in HS football, but it still gets called. The A&M player was doing it ON TOP of the pile in plain sight and right in front of the ref!
What's Pelini supposed to do, just ask for a reach-around during the screwing? Laugh it off and start a pool on when the next horse-crap call will occur?
