Sucks to be deep d**ked by the big ten refs doesn’t it??

I wouldn’t say twice in same drive. The Bell non catch was the right call. The OPI...different deal. That was a horrific call, which flat out cost Purdue the game.
 
Yep, that ref literally changed the outcome of that game with that one horrendous call.

Does PJ have the refs in his pocket for game ending offensive pass interference calls? Hmmmm ..
Yup...just said the same thing....phantom Offensive PI calls at the end of the game to benefit Minny.....where have I seen that before..COUGH COUGH PSU 2019...and Purdue was a 2 1/2 point favorite bad look, yet another black eye for the conference and its horrendous officiating.

Let's not forget a poor PI in another drive that extended a Purdue drive. The refs were making poor calls on both sides.
 
The all-22 angle that BTN showed at the very end seemed to indicate that 87 extended his arm to ward off 2 just enough to get space. Ticky-tack, yes...rarely called, yes...but if the ref saw contact that the replay seemed to indicate, that’s advantage 87 and the flag has to be thrown. 87 wasn’t as sneaky as Kyle Rudolph was in that playoff game against the Saints.

You just do NOT make that call. Terrible call. Purdue should have won. Incompetent ref. Under this logic they should call offensive holding on every play. It is just football and play on.

If that’s called Offensive PI, then they could call Offensive PI on (at least) 50% of all plays. AND Defensive PI on all the other remaining plays.
 
The concept of ‘not making that call’ is laughable and I won’t dignify it further with a response.

As to @ILLINOISLION point about inconsistency - 100%. Pass interference, especially DPI, has become way too liberal in the last 5-10 years. A lot of that is everyone’s desire to see scoring. At the same time, defenders still don’t know how to keep their hands off receivers.
 
I disagree on the Bell catch.

It’s insane that a player who’s out of bounds can make a play on a live ball. He should not be allowed to touch it until he re-establishes himself inbounds.

Instead, they penalized a player who was legitimately inbounds playing a loose ball.
I replayed that again and again and admit the replays on tv weren’t great. However, that kids foot was not OOB until after he touched the ball. By then Bell had secured it.

I don't really know what people are talking about. Just like last year against us, the call was absolutely correct. The receiver clearly pushed off allowing him to gain separation putting the defender out of the play. It doesn't matter if it was in the closing minutes of the game. The receiver cheated. Period. The call allowed the game to be decided on the field by the rules. There is a little bit of ambiguity unlike the absolutely correct call in our game last season but the contact clearly created separation. Text book call. Good job ref.
 
Worst call I’ve seen in Big Ten last night in Minny vs Purdue

Didn’t watch the game live, but called offensive pass interference on Purdue tight end on go ahead TD in final minute. Hopefully someone can help me with a link. Penn State has certainly been on the wrong side of plenty of bad calls, but this one was the most blatant that I can remember.

Rarely called? Unfortunately yes. It should be called a heck of a lot more regardless of situation. Ticky-tack, absolutely not.

Can you point out to me where in this video that OPI occurred? Are you talking about that arm swipe -- which barely touched the defender if at all -- at the 49 second mark?

I'm sure other angles provided a better view of the play. But there is absolutely no way to convincingly claim that arm swipe created separation.

Horrific call.

Not even close, but I suppose your a troll. The arms of the receiver and defender briefly touched when 87 made his break but there was no push. How does a one push off when his elbow was bent and hand near his waist?

The penalty occurred between the ten and twelve yard lines, not in the end zone.
 
WOW, just WOW.

I wasn't sure from the back view if he may have pushed off between the 5 and the goal line. Then when the view is from the official's standpoint, the receiver is three yards beyond the defender at the goal line. No way you get that separation without people stumbling from the contact.
I'll search for the other play in question.
Rhetorical question - think the B1G doowahs would ever come out and say -- man, did we miss this call and the official is serving a 2-game suspension. Bwahaha.

That's the problem with PI anymore, they have let them on both sides of the ball get away with so much, no one knows what PI is anymore. Pretty simple, go back to the days of hands off on both sides or it's PI.
 
PI has become the same as a foul in basketball. Rarely called, inconsistently called, and leads to controversy. In basketball, it is too often used to protect the superstars. In both sports the ‘let them play the game’ attitude is gonna screw up the game.

In this case, it was a horrendous call. There is contact just like that 99.7% of the plays. (Yes, I did the research! ;) ) And it was 20 yards prior to the catch. There is almost always more contact than that within five yards of the catch that isn’t called. Such calls do serious damage to the integrity of the game.
 
Not defending the call, but from this angle I can “kinda” see why it was called. The bottom clip.

Then why was Pass Interference called? The ball has to be in the air for pass interference; that didn't happen until he was at the 5. If anything, it would be illegal use of hands but I didn't see that beyond his knocking the defender's hands off of him.

You may not like the rule, but per the rule, it was absolutely the right call. Video evidence was indisputable.
