False starts. ....

[Gismo]

After the phantom offensive pass interference then a phantom pass interferences on our defense I really wonder if some of those false starts were phantom calls as well.

I'm with Bullwinkle. The refs were egregiously biased and it was obvious.

Like this PI calls would never be called in the SEC or the Big10. Receivers and defenders arms bump every completion. Offensive pass interference is like the defender is in a position to catch the ball an the receiver pushes him, cuts him off with body contact, or holds his hands down. I've never seem it called for such light contact.

Refs never call that. 1st time I have ever heard a ref call the 1 second rule. This was a crooked officiating crew. Not obvious enough for you?

What isn't obvious is what you are talking about.

ok, I'll say it a little slower. USF got whistled about 4 times in the 4th qtr for not getting set after the motion moves for 1 second. If a player is still in motion, they call a motion penalty. What the refs were doing tonite was saying that he was set, but not long enough. THAT RULE IS NEVER CALLED. I've never seen it happen. THE GAME WAS FIXED. oh, and we had relatively few false start calls.

This is like forward propulsion. A penalty I never knew existed until it is called for the first time in decades against USF.

At worst, there was some intent on the official's part to watch USF a little too closely.  At least, the officials were unconsciously in a flag happy mood.  Either way, it sucked for USF.

I knew that the one-second thing was a rule, but it is rarely called.  Even so, that's on the QB and I'm certain that will be fixed by Memphis.

Thank you for the clarification.  Now I see what you are saying and I'd agree.

 

The refs also don't often call offensive pass interference and illegal forward propulsion.  We are kind of lucky that the refs use the full play book on us.

I said this in another thread, we tackle and the refs don't matter.

Even with all the false starts I I had a different feeling with Mike WHite in there. With the other QBs 1st and 15 seemed we were doomed to punt.  With Miek White I did not have the feeling we were not going to make the first down. It did hurt a few drives and it will definitely help in the future.  The kid has vision. Lets see what happens when they start blitzing.

It was interesting, no matter the down and distance, he stilled seamed composed and looked like he felt he could convert.

I never knew so many penalties existed until I came to USF.

Agreed!
