The same crew that called the personal foul on AJ Green during the LSU UGA after Green scored the touchdown called the personal foul on Ark for a late hit while the play was still going on. This is all great that they come out and call out their own but how can they not come out and stand up for their own conference and say that Lee was not over the line on the "illigal forward pass vs Houston?
Same ref crew screws up again.
- Thread starter therightway
- Start date
They probably have no idea on how to extrapolate the line of scrimmage from where the marker is on the sideline
When I played, they said do not quit till the whistle blows. On top of that if he he had let up the UF O Lineman would popped him. It looked like he just got the better of the collision.

That 'late hit' Pegues had at Kentucky still has me convinced the refs are out to get us. The problem is that most of these type of penalties are mostly subject to what the ref believes happened. Certain things like unnecessary roughness or unsportsmanlike conduct are going to be difficult to review. Facemasks and late hits should be.
I believe the official who threw the flag could still see that the play was going on. Load of crap
Allowing penalties to be reviewed doesn't remove game changing power from the refs. It just adds another layer where they could get it right, or get it wrong. It sucks they made a bad call like then in the UF/Ark game, but that was an extreme example. What about a personal foul that gets called that could go one way or another - how do you review that?
The only penalties that should be reviewable are penalties based on fact - such as illegal forward passes, pass interference calls involving a tipped ball, too many players on the field, etc. I wouldn't mind face masks being added to the list since you can review to clearly see if a player grasped or didn't. It seems like face masks get called a fair amount of time when a players hand brushes across the mask, but no grabbing occurs. I wish that would go away.
But other than questions of fact, allowing penalties to be reviewed just results in more judgment (good and poor). The refs that made that terrible call should be disciplined since it was clearly a garbage call. But the whole concept of penalty review opens up a can of worms that's not worth dealing with.

It's obviously something that's never going to happen. But watching the USC/ND game and the UF/Ark game this weekend, there were many 15 yard penalties that were incorrectly called.
One example I can think of is in the ND game they called a late hit out of bounds on a USC player when a replay showed that the ND running back had both feet still in bounds. The drive would have been over, but the penalty gave them 15 yards and a first down. That get's reviewed, and the correct call is easily made.
I also think there should be different fouls for roughing the passer, there should be "running into the quarterback", a five yard penalty, and roughing the quarterback. Much like the rules that protect the kickers.
