....the original line of scrimmage. The entire body has to be beyond it for it be an illegal forward pass. Either way it's a blown call.

of a play that is obviously quite close and means either having first and goal at the four or turning the ball over on downs. Heck, I see other games when totally meaningless plays get "official reviews" yet in ours the only play that is officially reviewed was when the refs were too stupid (or biased) to count 4 downs. After getting home from the game and watching it on replay I no longer consider it a loss. This play and the bogus holding call on Dixon's TD essentially takes 14 points off the board for us and totally changes the game. Heck, they threw 50+ passes for the game and didn't get one holding call all day yet routinely held. In fact, if you watch the first Houston TD our blitzing LB in the middle is grabbed on the side of the shoulder as he's coming through the line which slows him down just enough for the QB to be able to get the ball off. A game like this makes me sick when you just get robbed and the refs don't allow the players to determine the game. Absolutely the worst and most biased officiated game I've seen in Starkville since the BYU game. Most teams have to go on the road to get these kind of officiated games but not good ole MSU. Refs seemingly have no problem coming into our house and jobbing us to protect their own conference team.
