Listen, I get it if EC has an ax to grind with NU and I am even fine with it. But I would say even for Ed he had a really bad call on this game Saturday. It really seemed like every play call he questioned by either Wilson or Riley he was wrong. He really kind of blasted Wilson for punting early in the 2nd quarter in Nebraska territory. IU pins NU deep, they get a blocked punt for a safety and get some momentum, plus the still get the ball back.
There were several other issues that were brought up in the thread, the going for 2, Pat and Mike Riley, the targeting statements, all bad. I even heard him call Tommy Armstrong, Tommy Armour!
Seriously, I get it. I am sure calling a different game each week is tough, but you have a whole week to prepare, and if you are doing games all season you should really have a better grasp of players and coaches. Especially on a Top 10 team. I don't know, maybe it is a ton easier to watch the game on TV and really see what is happening, but to me it should not be that hard to call a game.
I also think now that damn near every college football is televised that the on air talent is really watered down. Especially on ESPN/ABC, I really think the conference networks do a much better job like the Big Ten, SEC, Pac 12 and even fox with the Big 12.
