What was the discussion on the broadcast for the flag against Devin Abraham on the interception?

Live, it looked like a normal finish to an emotional play (flipping the ball in the air)

There was so much noise in he stands, it was hard to even hear what the referee said

He flipped the ball straight up.  I think it was not the most egregious call/non call.  

Senat was being held AND grabbed the face mask.

Alaka hit some dude with his towel.  Dumb on his part but he was defending Q.

The targeting was a bad missed call.  I thought the non call on the intentional grounding was a makeup on the next play.

The refs were horrible, I just saw the players doing a lot more talking and after the play dramatics.  Almost like they were too good for us (which they weren't).

They made the same no call on intentional grounding for them earlier in the game, so, that was consistent. They also wanted to flag DJ at the half yard line for being emotional. Thankfully they picked it up.

I think they had to put some level of reins on it, there were several little skirmishes that needed to get squashed. Stupid penalties are about the only way they can let the players know they're watching and can take away the fun at any moment...

Really wish the O didn't come out flat for so long they could have scored 50+ if we played a complete game on offense.

That was kind of the story since the first game. We owned the 4th quarter all year though.

It ain't how you start, it's how you finish. Our 2 losses are perfect examples of not finishing ...

Read their in-game thread, they think the refs were just as biased against them as we think they were biased against us, LOL

So I guess the refs were pretty fair after all.

Not much to add here other than I don't normally gripe about non John McDaid reffing crews, but these non calls seemed very bizarre especially the missed non call on targeting late in the game

 

That was really bad...not sure how any official could just let that go.

Man Flowers got tackled 5 ft into the sidelines and the refs let it slide

And then called an unsportsmanlike on Alaka, IIRC.
