Two Minutes In - First Ridiculousness From The Officiating Crew!

[ILLINOISLION]

OU throws maybe a 25-30 yd sideline pass.....ball lands AT LEAST 4-5 yds out-of-bounds, Wilt on a ladder couldn't have gotten close to it.

Clemson called for pass interference, flag obviously should have been picked up. It wasn't, first down OU.

So we cut to our Big 10(14) official "expert" in the booth, our good friend Bill Lemonnier. "But a player can jump pretty good, so I'll go with the call." STILL A TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT IN RETIREMENT!

Even if it was catchable (which it wasn't by a long shot) there still wasn't pass jnterference on it. Defender looked back for the ball.

Illinois, how about the sideline warning?
Seriously, why would an official make that call? Even after the replay, I don't see an official be obstructed from doing his job.

is Witvoet or Oneill screwing it up? I loved Blackledge...."Just get out of the way and let the kids play."
