Refs...

[BrowardBull17]

Undisciplined play ruined this game.feels like we get a dumb penalty on every special teams play almost.

[GaUSFBull]

Definitely not calling a fair game. Block in the back and a couple of jersey grabbing going badgers way.

Shame...its almost like these games are fixed.

Of course you leave out the phantom hold call that negated a 50+ yard run by Gordon. Or the horrendous fair catch call when Doe never signaled fair catch.

Don't blame the refs, they aren't the reason you're losing.

You got us today. Hopefully we put a little scare into you. Now beat it, your welcome will be worn out very soon with posts like this.

what are the penalty totals for each side?

Also, you must be new to football. They explained that when Doe waved everybody off, that was the same as a fair catch.

USF should never let John McDaid be anywhere near another game.

Great pie-in-the-sky idea, but I don't think we get a choice.

As a Jet fan, I don't have any more energy to complain about the refs after the monday night game against the Bears.

 

That being said the Refs today weren't doing us any favors.   I think what happens though is that when one team is taking some real penalties the Refs tend to become much more critical of that team and then call garbage.

USF did make a lot of penalties, but for anyone who doesn't know John McDaid:

 

 

"(Side note: Now that Glasses Ref is retired and Ron Cherry bashing has become passé, we hope John McDaid gets his due as one of college football's worst referees. He was the referee in this game. He was the referee in the USF-Cincinnati game we eulogized earlier this summer. He was also the referee in the USF-Houston game last year where his crew called 19 penalties on the Bulls and only four on Houston. They took a go-ahead touchdown away from USF on another lame offensive pass interference call, then badly botched another call, then flagged Willie Taggart for unsportsmanlike conduct for complaining about said botched call. Incredibly, he and his crew were allowed to officiate the 2014 Orange Bowl, which they did their best to ruin with about 15 video reviews. And McDaid became the first referee in history to throw a flag for the sideline Gatorade bath after Clemson had just clinched their biggest win in decades.)

(Good, now that will come up anytime someone Googles John McDaid. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah.)"

We didn't catch any breaks from the refs, but made enough mistakes on our own to lose.
