The defender stepped over a falling Mays whose momentum threw his feet up a reasonable height. He tripped himself as his feet were actually caught with Mays’s from basically the ground. I had the game recorded slowed it down and watched it about ten times. Completely unintentional and to make that call, it has to be overtly intentional.

So, I used to be a swimming official and the one thing that they repeated over and over was that you had to be sure of an infraction before you call it. That doesn't seem to be the case in football.

The most noncontraversal penalties were the offsides calls and those were just boneheaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the tripping play specifically, but I didn't think it was a poorly officiated game overall. There were plenty of bonehead mistakes by our guys. We need to clean it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally learned that you can't tackle a QB below the knees and there may not be a running into the kicker rule. This is a USF fan board and should the right place for a little venting and clarification about calls like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it has now escalated into the calls being incorrect. Yeah, some probably were but it just makes us sounds like whiners. Refs make ****** calls in our favor all the time...it all evens out in the end. Also a lot of these “calls” were self inflicted. For example the tripping penalty was irrelevant for me as soon as the lineman got knocked down on his ass to begin with. Not singling out this thread, but there are others that sounds like a gripe session Edited September 17, 2018 by NewEnglandBull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By no means, but it was a football play that called a penalty. So instead of first and goal, we punted. It more than likely took points off the board for us. Does it make up for the awful first half? No. But it had an impact. Refs aren't supposed to make an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
