Re-watching game now after attending game. Horrible no intentional grounding call on msu qb in 3rd qtr. He was parallel to the ground with his back almost to the ground when he tosses the ball a few yards in front of him. No where near #3 wr the ref states over the microphone. Next play was td throw for them. That non call was huge. 3 pts at best for MSU versus 7.

I agree that it was a bad call, but the refs missed a pretty obvious holding call against our right guard on our first TD too. the no call on the intentional grounding pretty much evened it out.

Ray Lucas had promised his mom that he won't get on the refs, but they were pretty bad with those non-calls...... Ray couldn't keep his promise....

First one wasn't as bad but was also pretty clearly a grounding. I was ballistic in the stands but felt like everyone around me was just happily surprised that we actually got some pressure on an opposing qb

I was livid watching the replay at 3 am Sunday (not knowing who had won) clearly was grounding...

If that wasn't grounding (the second one), I'm not sure what is considered grounding..... Thre the ball almost straight down. How close does the receiver has to be? 5 yards/10/15/50?

What is the recourse? any complaining by RU will make it worse... as stated in other threads PSU feels the same way. The schools getting the calls are the old original winning tradition B1G schools.

The holding non calls are just as bad .
