Shane was pretty openly critical of the refs after the game yesterday. Since it was a non-conference game with refs from a neutral conference, I guess there's nobody to penalize you.
I guess there are no repercussions for criticizing refs after a bowl game?

He wasn't hard enough on them. Nothing to penalize in any case. The officiating was the Big 10's way of inviting Notre Dame to join their conference.
I literally would have said "Congratulations to ND and the officiating crew on their win." - And left it at that. It was that blatant. We stopped them in the first half with 1:30 left and returned their punt inside their own 40 and were getting ready to blow the game wide open....... by the time the refs got done screwing us we were starting on our own 20.
Not to be forgotten. That was a massive game swing.
The first one was a good call. The 2nd one was piss poor.
Agreed. No issues with the first call. The 2nd call was refs deliberately inserting themselves into the game to save ND's lilly green arses and they knew it.
Sorry, it's a clearly defined rule. Irrelevant if it happens all the time w/o a call. That said, I have seen it called a good many times this year including tonight.
Exactly. The rule specifies "attacking...with forcible contact."
There was NOTHING about the contact Dak made that fit the description. Not even close. He was definitely not attacking and the contact was not remotely forcible. Only a buffoon would think so. Unfortunately, that ref was a buffoon.
