Pass Interference Calls
« on: December 01, 2024, 05:28:54 PM »
Big Ten referees have thrown out the rule book with pass interference. Referees Facing Backlash After Crucial Call Alters Michigan-Ohio State Game
I happen to agree with the first two calls in this article, but the third call in this series of videos mystifies me. It looks like offensive facemask by Jeremiah Smith. In the video you can see the ref is standing where he should be able to see the facemask being yanked.
In the Iowa - Nebraska game, T.J. Hall was flagged for pass interference when the only contact appeared to be a straight arm thrown by the Nebraska receiver to the grille of T. J. Hall.
Perhaps more plays should be open to video reviews, such as 15 yard penalties, or have higher officiating standards.

Yeah Denzel Burke got called for one where it looked like the contact was him getting shoved. Pass interference is a tough call because the difference between great coverage and a foul can be razor thin.

I feel that more PIs should be called

many times the defender is grabbing an arm or stretching jersey and nothing is called

is what it is. todays rules WRs can’t be touched and they can do almost anything they want. it’s way worse in nfl.

This is true, especially in college. When they get beat on deep balls they are coached to just grab and make the refs call it because 15 is better than 50

Essentially, they should call those more, but not call the ones where the coverage is great and the quarterback just makes a crappy throw

The one where Jeremiah Smith grabbed the facemask was absurd. With a room full of buckeyes, their first reaction was “stop, he didn’t do that.” After the replay they changed the tone quickly.

The one we all agreed on was it was tough where he ran over the defender. I didn’t think it had a great angle on the replay. 

It was pretty weird that osu didn’t have a penalty until 1:55 left in the game and their only two penalties were illegal substitution and offsetting unsportsmanlike. I prefer refs be less involved, but they didn’t commit a penalty basically the entire game?

WAY more offensive PI should be called, that's for sure.  WRs get to assault DBs on the regular.

It's not even necessarily a crappy throw-- now QBs intentionally underthrow a ball because they know the WR will either catch the ball or get a DPI call in his favor if he breaks off his route and initiates contact moving directly into the defender.  It's complete bullshit.

More?

I think more offensive PIs should be called, but "catchable ball" seems to have disappeared

yes, if the defender is holding one arm down, it's PI

if the defender has a handful of jersey and stretching it?  PI

just don't grab the WR with your mitts

Iowa has the lowest penalties per game in the nation at 2.6. Not sure that’s comparable. OSU in their actual competitive games against Indiana, Penn St and Oregon, they averaged 6 penalties per game.

so when there’s blatantly obvious penalties not called or going their way and the only two penalties called, one offsetting, one not possible to avoid, there’s a reason people are talking about it.

we had the discussion regarding the conference protecting the top playoff teams

and as we know, Ohio st. is usually protected by the B1G

Iowa is a disciplined team and has a history of low penalties, but one PI the entire game?

Good for them
