B1G refs are darn close to making me hate football. A close game should be exciting, but there's not much to root for. I do have yard work to do and I don't think the leaves could possibly p*ss me off any more.
Refs have made me not care about football

I'm not sure if I have ever seen more holding and blocking in the back, not called in a game.
Refs not killings us, Illinois running game is.
Yes they are. If the refs actually called holding and blocking in the back, the Illinois running game would be far less effective.
Why have rules if the refs don't enforce them.

The refs stole 7, possibly 10+ (assuming a FG after the missed late hit on Clifford) from PSU today.
Also, why was the winning 2 pt conversion not reviewed? It looked to me like it might have hit the ground, although I didn't see a great camera angle.

Bad officiating took away a good TD from Illinois allowing the game to go to OT.
Explain. Ball was received past the line of scrimmage making both the lineman downfield and the WR blocking penalties which would not have been had he received it behind the line of scrimmage. You are wrong.
Wrong. Go watch the Pitt game and stop posting on our board.
You're a jackass toolbag.
Right around the time the coaches were shaking hands, you could hear the PA announcer make a statement saying the ruling of a catch had been confirmed.
The ball was caught behind the line, not past. As always, if I am wrong once I see a really good video, I'll acknowledge it. The replay I saw was behind the line.
That’s another bitch, while we’re at it. That PA Announcer sounds like a carnival barker.
Franklin has made me not care about CFB.
I just watched a really good shot (though the angle was far from ideal) of it was clearly right on the line. Could have been past, could have short. Nothing I saw on the replay indicates the ball was caught downfield.
You and me both. He has to be fired and you can't afford to wait until the end of the season.
This is way down at the bottom of bad play calling and bad officiating and had no effect on the outcome, but didn't Illinois get an extra time out in OT? They called one to ice PSU's kicker on a field-goal attempt (that was in OT, right?) and then called another one to set the defense on a 2-point conversion. No one complained about it, so maybe I'm wrong. You get just one time out in overtime, right?
Not even close dude. The OL was at least 3 yards down the field on the first one and it was an obvious holding call on the second (one they finally called). Refs didn’t cause PSU to lose although as Orlovsky said you can’t not call the late hit on Clifford and then call a BS pass interference in Porter on the ensuing possession. Apparently the refs don’t understand that you can bump a receiver before the ball is thrown. In retrospect another missed FG by Stout was a killer.
If the receiver was behind the line, and all evidence says he was, though not conclusively, both penalties were legal plays.
This announcement wouldn't come from the PA announcer; it would come from the refs. There was no such announcement.
Zero evidence shows he was behind the line scrimmage. Both fouls were correct.
They were pretty f n bad. Took 7 pts off the board for us and missed a huge blatant block in the back on first good conversion for Illinois.
I thought I never see a program like ours complaining about a team like Illinois.
Those who believe the refs is the problem with Penn State are delusional.
I will say this, one missed call absolutely did hurt PSU: the missed late hit on Clifford. PSU still had the momentum, was driving after a fumble recovery, and looking to go up 17-7 and ice the game. Pass on 3rd and 7 was incomplete, was holding on PSU, but no late hit on Clifford.
I suppose if they would have called it, it would have just replayed the 3rd and 7 anyway, and it’s no sure thing PSU would have converted. As it was, it wasn’t called and Stout missed a FG.

The worst call of the game was the nonTD forward progress call after the fumble. Not the forward progress, but that they placed the ball at the original line of scrimmage. The ten yard line. The player clearly was tackled between the 7 or 8 yard line.
The next was not calling roughing the QB when SC got injured again.
