Sucks to be deep d**ked by the big ten refs doesn’t it??
Yep, that ref literally changed the outcome of that game with that one horrendous call.Purdue got robbed!!
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.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 ..
That might be the worst call I've seen in 5 years
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.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.

The wide receiver literally did not touch him and gets called for interference, what was that ref looking at.
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 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 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.
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?I don't really know what people are talking about. Just like last year against us, the call was absolutely correct.

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.
The penalty occurred between the ten and twelve yard lines, not in the end zone.
I'm thinking they could call Offensive PI on 60% of the plays and Defensive PI on the other 70%. Where's that poster with the doctorate in math? lolIf 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.
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.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.

Thanks for the clips.Look at the bottom clip for the best view. Only contact is in first couple seconds of the play which happens every single snap, and it looks like the flag isn't thrown until end of the play.
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.The penalty occurred between the ten and twelve yard lines, not in the end zone.
You may not like the rule, but per the rule, it was absolutely the right call. Video evidence was indisputable.I disagree on the Bell catch.

Wow, that one certainly changes the discussion.Not defending the call, but from this angle I can “kinda” see why it was called. The bottom clip.
