Does anyone have an opinion on today's officiating? Good, bad, fair to middlin'?

Just wondering.

Bushwood says all the officials are turds. He watched them instead of the game today. Actually the officials were fine today. Not perfect by any means but fine

I thought it was a decently officiated game too. I'd like to hear the Bushwood recap though. Just a simple reality check for me.

I liked that they saw the chop blocks and called those and the block below the waist on Mangiro as well. I can understand why they banged Hamilton for spinning the ball after the touchdown but I wonder how many times everyone else will get away with shushing the crowd or talking smack after a particular play. The only question I had was how they can call an offsides on a team for taking a jab step that isn't in the neutral zone but still causes the offensive line to move. To me, that says that the defensive line can't move at all before a snap. If he's in the neutral zone, I get it (though, I've hated the neutral zone infraction penalty since its institution), but it didn't look like #6 was and he still got busted for it.

I thought they were a little flag happy. Pass interference early was a bad call. PSU got two bad spots in the first half, one on d and one on o. PSU got a break the refs missed an illegal motion on the jet sweep. Also got a break on a chop block call when the second blocker simply tripped over the pile but put his hands up to regain balance.

Overall, not a poorly officiate game but not bad.

F'ing joke as usual - they call PSU for a completely BS Pass Interference then allow PSU receivers to get mugged repeatedly (IOW, zero consistency). Absurd ball spots near the 1st down marker for Buffalo and against PSU routinely. Didn't review a clear Buffalo fumble near the end of the game despite it being under 2 minutes and it is supposed to be automatically reviewed. 3 "Illegal Formation" penalties on PSU despite video evidence demonstrating that 7 PSU players were within 1 Yard of the LOS on the last 2. Personal Foul penalty on Hamilton because he scored a TD????

The b1g Turd @ssclowns have demonstrated over-&-over that they hate PSU.....these classless, douche-bag, fat, old farts have actually said to our kids, "you're lucky to even be playing"..... They've proven over and over again what small-minded, corrupt POS they are and we saw more of the same today - what a surprise!?!?

The personal foul was when Hamilton spun the ball after the TD. Is that a penalty?

If every official in CFB makes that call when it happens, I'm okay with it; but they don't. Same with chest bumping and shushing. It is frustrating to see it called so haphazardly. I do not think it should be a penalty. On the other hand, since it is in the realm of possibility, players ought to just hand off or flip the ball to the ref and remove the possibility. It is a serious field position liability.

It's fair/bad all across the country! No excuses for how bad it has become.. And the HS refs are even worse

Yep, every time. Hand or toss the ball to the official like you're supposed to....and it's a non - issue.

Especially PSU players who have been called for shushing, spiking the ball too hard when trying to stop the clock (I kid you not it was called a PF penalty on McGloin), chest bumping or spinning the ball why you drop it (today - couldn't tell which was called).....etc... I do know one thing, I've watched a lot of b1g Turd football and I've never seen ANY OF THESE CALLS ON ANY TEAM OTHER THAN PSU and I have seen tO$U players do far worse in their celebrations. Complete bull$hit that PSU players should be the only players in the b1g Turd forced to kiss the ring of these Piece-of-$hit corrupt Officials who routinely come in our house with this disgraceful and arrogant and bull$hit behavior. BTW, you failed to mention the multiple "Illegal Formation" penalties when the video confirms they were completely bullshat calls as 7 players only need to be within 1 YARD of LOS and PSU did have 7 within 1 Yard -- the rule is not that they have to have their "toe on the LOS" as that moron Spielman tried to claim - complete bull$hit! And they called this hor$eshit on us 3 separate times!! How about the Defensive Offside they called on us where they claimed our LB "drew the OL offside"??? The video again confirmed what utter TRASH the call was - the LB walked forward and came nowhere near stepping into the "neutral zone" -- the defensive player has to step into the NEUTRAL ZONE causing the OL to move for it to be a penalty on the defensive player (not only that, the OL has to react to the movement while the defender is in the neutral zone). AGAIN, THE VIDEO CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES THAT THE CALL AGAINST THE PSU PLAYER (e.g., that the PSU player did anything that is against the NCAA Rules as they are ACTUALLY WRITTEN) was complete and utter BULL$HIT!!! Completely made up bull$hit that is a product of the hor$eshit Piece-of-$hit they employee in this crap conference who say stuff to our players like "you're lucky to even be playing".....

Two of the three "chop-block" penalties were utter horseshit

Several times the back judge was trying to reset the play clock and was ignored. It probably wasnt on TV, but the third time he raised his arms up as to say "whatever guys, I'll just be hanging out here 20 yards away so just do whatever you want."

You take conspiracy theories to a whole new level that's for sure.
