Worst officiated game against us since OSU 2014
- Thread starter cyrizzle

Yeah, it was extremely poor. So poor, you’d have to try to be that poor. They were tackling defenders—Need recourse ( stepped suspensions)with refs after review, otherwise there’s no incentive for them to stop/improve.
One of the reasons Joe had a superior bowl record. We got crews from other conferences who called games straight. The Big Ten sucks.
i agree . after all these years that it's been going on, i cant figure out a real concrete reason. someone please enlighten me
Why didn’t they go to replay on that play? Officials let them play. You think the Lions weren’t holding? Come on man… officials had no impact on the outcome. PSU crapped the bed in the first 20 minutes. Typical PSU game vs. big time opponent. Too many mistakes.
the most telling play, to me, was when our defender got a tfl in spite of the fact that he was being blocked in the back and tackled same time running back was being tackled...no call.
their online was consistently wrapping their arms outside the shoulders of our defenders. Not saying we didn't do it as well, but we are definitely not as good at it as them.
I sure hope someone will do the film study and compile the video clips to show the tackling of our D linemen, the pass that was ruled complete, then ruled "no catch" without a replay, etc.
They had them where they wanted them coming out for the second half. Just missed that pass to Warren down the middle. That would have changed everything despite their blunders.
Game was winnable except for a few missed opportunities at critical moments.
Not arguing that play - it would’ve been a TD and a completely different game.
But immediately following that third down call, the Oregon defender slams Allar after the whistle and nothing was done, while PSU was given FOUR 15 yard penalties in the first half. Missed FG, Oregon TD, and PSU is back to a two TD hole.
A lot went wrong, many missed opportunities, bad play calls - but the refs were also horrific.
It was. But we did legitimately have quite a few penalties that gave Oregon something on the neighborhood of 70 yards. Dumb ass penalties cost us the game against tOSU and Oregon.

Calls against us were nit picky. When it came to them, they were letting 'em play. Was a big deal, between killing drives and keeping them going. Just like against O$U
This game was akin to when we first joined this league. It was that bad. Horrendous. All the way to the shit call on the fair catch call on Tracy. That was not a fair catch signal and we should have had the ball at the Oregon 40.
I could see that takedown of Allar being let go, but they’d called us for 2 debatable unnecessary roughness fouls in the first half…
Better yet the Office whose call it was, initially ruled it complete - it was then overturned to incomplete by the Referee WITHOUT REVIEW!
There was complete confusion regarding what the call was and the announcers kept saying it was complete and didn't know whether there was enough yardage for a 1st down but thought it would be 2nd Down..... This continued right up to when they marked the ball and started the play-clock.... there was complete confusion on the field as the initial call was clearly complete... they then changed the call without any kind of a huddle to discuss the call or formal announcement they changed the call. They simply spotted the ball and started the play-clock.
Again, how precisely do you overturn the initial call of the ruling official from complete to incomplete and never review the call??? The league supposedly reviews every play - CBS replayed the down 3 times during the broadcast so the B1G's Replay Room saw the play, knew it was a completion and never stopped the play despite knowing it was incorrect. Unreal.
“The feed to the replay booth was broken” was the line from 2014
Roughing fouls that were utter patty-cake compared to the non-call on Boettcher who literally drove Allar into the ground and landed on him with his full body-weight upwards of 5 seconds after multiple whistles were blowing the play dead.
They showed a replay that showed nothing resembling a penalty the best I remember. Danielson kept saying "it's to the left" (where #10 was), but #14 was called for it (he was on the right).
I'd like to see the play again because I saw nothing. I can't say for sure that nothing happened, but I never saw a replay that confirmed it.
Danielson said three separate times - "Oregon got away with one there", never said the same regarding PSU.
He specifically stated it after:
1. After Carter was blatantly held (tackled really) on play that literally freed Gabriel and prevented a sack who scrambled for positive yardage.
2. No call on 2nd-&-9 pass play from PSU 49 yard line where Oregon has an OL illegally 6 yards downfield as Gabriel is running on a clear RPO and throws at the LOS. Result: Oregon TD instead of 2nd-&-14 from their own 47.
3. On a 4th-&-2 play from PSU 35, Oregon TE Ferguson blatantly pushes off using a full arm extension shove as he makes a down-&-in cut, shoving the PSU defender in the diametric opposite direction and creating massive separation. Result: 20 yard completion to PSU 15 instead of 4th-&-17 from the 50 yard line!
Now please do tell how Officiating had no impact on the game - it played a huge and central role in 3 different Oregon scoring drives! And we're talking blatantly obvious penalties that were not called as even Danielson admitted.

This doesn't even include the complete hose-job clown-show that the cheating b2g Officiating crew perpetrated in reversing a called clear completion to the wrong-call of incomplete without a review of any kind including not even a discussion of the field Officials despite the Official whose call it was clearly calling it a completion on the field! Nor does it include Boetcher body slamming Allar into the ground 5 seconds after every single official was sounding their whistles blowing the play dead!
Didn't see anyone mention the Singleton pass play over the middle when he got bumped by the LB, while the ball was in the air. Allar and Singleton were perplexed. That was going to be a 30 yd., play or a td. Didn't even get the 15 yd penalty! Agree this was criminal if those officials took a paycheck for that game.
Kneupple is from Wisconsin. Same crew as the osu game so the complete lack of consistency or holds or PI should seem familiar.
His whole background is on his LinkedIn.
The officiating that happened last night was not by accident or incompetence.
You have it wrong. They got paid and got their bonus for doing so well
But an Oregon player shoved a PSU player long after the whistle and no call…and the Oregon QB head butted one of our safeties after the whistle….no call. The point being there are many situations that could be legitimately called, but when you’re only calling those against one team it can easily cost that team the game.
Somebody should show him the replays of his blatantly blown calls. A$$holes like this guy deserve to be exposed and punished by the Conference.
Kraft and CJF need to submit a full review of the bull$hit calls and more particularly non-calls by this hack, corrupt crew. The team and most particularly players deserve this from the program's administration. Kraft and CJF should demand a full explanation of the Officiating including ridiculous non-calls on:
1. Massive hold on Carter that literally freed Gabriel from a sack. Result: Gabriel runs for significant positive yardage on a scoring drive on a play that should have resulted in a big sack of -10 yards and a 3rd-&-long situation.
2. Singleton being grabbed, hit and held by Boetcher as he is attempting to make a skinny-flag cut and ball is in air (which he is unable to catch up with as a result) - Singleton would have been in wide-open field. Result: PSU has to punt when clear and beyond obvious DPI wiped out a PSU 3rd down conversion where PSU should have had a 1st Down after Penalty near midfield.
3. No flag for illegal man downfield despite Oregon OL 6 yards downfield on an RPO play with Gabriel running and throwing extremely late at LOS (the Officials should specifically be looking for this on this type of play where Gabriel is running - no excuse for missing this blatantly obvious penalty). Result: 49 yard TD pass instead of 2nd-&-14 from their own 46 if the play had been called correctly by the b2g hack, homer Officiating.
4. Oregon TE Ferguson (#3) blatantly commits Offensive Pass Interference with a full arm extension push as he makes a down-&-in cut shoving the PSU defender in the diametric opposite direction and creating massive separation on a 4th-&-2 play from PSU 35. Result: Oregon completion of 20 yards and a 1st-&-10 at PSU 15 yard line on an Oregon scoring drive instead of 4th-&-17 from the 50 yard line if the beyond obvious penalty had been called (IOW, they took a possession from PSU as Oregon would have punted and created an illegitimate possession that Oregon should not have had at the PSU 15 yard line where they scored a TD!).
Very noteworthy is the FACT that Danielson said, "Oregon really got away with one there" on every single one of these calls (IOW, he identified all of them as clear and obvious uncalled penalties. Also noteworthy, he never says this regarding any kind of call/non-call in regards to PSU.).
What also contributed to some of this, is Franklin's stubbornness. Even when the officials told Franklin to call a timeout to give them time to review the play, ( on the catch, no catch) he didn't, he never wants to make a perceived mistake to overcome the officials mistake. He wanted to stick to hurry up. Look at the last drive where the running back for Oregon ran out of bounds at the 5. The ball was marked at the 3, Why the lineman was out of position, behind the play when it occurred. He ran out of bounds on his own.
I may be wrong but on the same play where Danielson showed the lineman 6 yds downfield, I thought Gabriel was past the line of scrimmage when he released the ball?
The one official lineman was a line woman. I have an idea. At the next winter Olympics, let's get some retired football players to judge the women's figure skating. Makes about as much sense.
It was close I thought the same thing. Unfortunately he was onside
As usual, the truth lies somewhere in the middle of the fans who complain about every call and non-call and the folks that want to pretend calls are never wrong and never have an impact on the game.
This was a poorly officiated game. The calls had an impact on the game. Would we have won? No clue. But they definitely adversely impacted our probability of success.
That said, oh well ... you can't fixate on it. You can't be CJFisJoePaII and see bad calls in your sleep. You can't start talking about conspiracies and biases. You have to just focus on the play on the field. Otherwise, you'll just become a miserable, sanity-challenged person. Don't go down that rabbit-hole.
Every play is supposed to be Reviewed by Centralized B1G Review Staff according to b2g Officiating Office / Commissioner you raging douche. Do tell how the telecast had time to show the replay 3 separate times but Centralized b2g Review didn't have time to correct the field crew )(whose initial call by responsible official was COMPLETE and then reversed by corrupt Referee without even a field conference or Review of any kind!). You're full of shit that CJF should have been forced to call a Timeout to correct a clear WRONG CALL that was initially called correctly by the responsible field Official - the Conference has repeatedly claimed that type of situation is FIXED by Centralized Review without the need for a Coach to potentially waste and lose a timeour.
