The lop sided penalties. Houston 4, USF 19. And the ridiculous PI call and all of the off sides were probably phantom too. It just seems very improbable that we would triple our average in penalties and Houston have so few and then add in the terrible calls for nothing and then the ref undoing a PI call against Houston. It's pretty egregious. Who is fixing the games? The conference? Vegas? The mob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do believe Andre Davis did commit pass interference, most often that won't be called in that situation. But more interesting to me was that for some reason the ref watched Davis catch the ball and run all the way into the end zone before he pulled the flag. Not sure what he was waiting for, but it sure seemed like he wasn't going to call it if the pass was incomplete. That is the point I would bring up to the conference. This is what bothered me about the most about the penalty. If the official was so sure it was pass interference, then throw the flag right away not after you see the outcome of the play. was it the forward fumble/pass in the 07 rutgers game that they threw the flag when they were announcing the penalty? Yes and no. Initially the ref signaled touchdown. they put the points on the board. Then they reviewed it. During the explanation of the review, the ref said the touchdown was overturned--then he throws the flag and says "illegal forward propulsion" WTF? That was a sad day in USF history. knew it was one of the craziest class I had ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't think they amounted to a plot, I do think they were unbalanced. Taggart handled it pretty well, didn't see an "oh, well" attitude, nor did I see a Muschamp temper tantrum. He got hot once or twice, but handled the refs professionally--I liked that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
