And yes, there were a couple of phantom/ticky-tack PI calls. However, I went back and watched the game. There were a number of PI calls that should have been called against us that weren't so I feel it evens out in the end. Almost every play our guys are making contact with the receivers and failing to locate the ball. They could call it almost every time.
Dorceus' block in the back and the hold that erased Kenny's TD were the right calls IMO.
Except it's really not a mole hill. You can look at any one thing and saying, "pfft, stuff happens". But when you look at the totality of it, it's ridiculous.
PIs on us - none on them.
Holds on us - none on them.
3 tds called back.
Blatant facemask - in the age of "player safety".
Punt inexplicabley downed at the 2 after it ended up in the end zone for the first time in football history.
Then when you combine that with the Temple game - not irrefutable evidence to overturn.
Then combine that with last year's UCF game - 4 (or was it 6?) penalty flags on UCF picked up after official huddle with "no foul on the play".
Then combine that with the prior UCF game, etc.
And these are all high-stakes games, not just any old regular season game (like when Austin was ejected for targeting, at least that was UConn).
