These refs suck

[Leonard23]

No targeting call early against MSU, missing a bunch of holding calls and now this BS review to add 1 second.

 

[bryanjints]

Refs have been all around poor. I'm not one to complain about refs but is ugly on both sides. But they got the 1 second call correct.

 

[koleszar]

Let’s hope we never get these refs again. Absolutely brutal with the holdings missed PI’s and targeting

 

[Leonard23]

Another no call on MSU #1 holding #7 on that TD run

Truth be told holding occurs on most plays .Today Rutgers is getting the holding calls.The outcome of this game isn;'t being decided by penalties.Its four big touchdown plays that are the difference makers.

 

[Caliknight]

The outcome isn’t being decided but the refs but they miss a ton of holding calls and call phantom calls

 

[rutger80]

Another no call on MSU #1 holding #7 on that TD run

That was pretty blatant.

 

[Dallas Spartan]

The "late hit" on Panasiuk from Michigan State was one of the worst calls of the year, and gave you points. I agree that the officials weren't good, but fans only remember calls that go against them

 

[rob kight]

That was pretty blatant.

And would have negated a touchdown!

2 missed PI's
Extra one second on the clock
The "fumble"

Refs were god awful and impacted the game way more than they should have.

Sorry, they should not bail out an offense whose only objective is to throw up for grabs and hope for a flag. You need to earn the call. We aren’t actually trying to complete those passes as much as we are trying to bait the refs to give us the call.

The Michigan Nebraska refs seem to be worse tonight.

 

[BoogieKnight]

Maybe we should sue the officials like that Syracuse fan is trying to do.

 

[brookdale-soda]

Maybe this lawyer will hear our case..

 

[BoogieKnight]

Maybe this lawyer will hear our case..

One of their fans last week claimed his cousin is an attorney and he was going to contact him about suing the ACC officiating crew from their game with FSU.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

I was thinking there was an obvious bias.. calling very brief holds on us and nothing of note on MSU... then again.. I saw bad calls both ways. Could it be a crew of biased refs AND incompetent refs?

But.. as others often point out.. refs were not the reason we lost.

 

[Knight Shift]

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

We were hosed. Again.

If not for the refs
If not for The fans coming in late after kick off
If not for all the empty seats
If not for everything else
We would be undefeated

If only we had wings, we wouldn't bump our *** when we get knocked on it. Hahaha

 

[MoreCowbellRU]

You don't defeat being held by bitching to or about officials. You fight through it and REFUSE to be held. Anybody who has been successful playing or coaching defense will know that. There are many ways to avoid it. If you can't, you chop it off and rip yourself away. You're ALLOWED to use your hands so DO it! Be damned if anybody was ever holding me as a player. Never happened. That's how I was coached. Bitching is not a skill needed on a football field.

 

[jmg75]

After watching B!G games live for a few years and specifically watching line play, I see a ton of holding in the league, by every team, in every game. And it seems like more than in other leagues.
For the most part the refs appear to let it go quite a bit. For whatever reason on Sauturday, it looked as if we were singled out. Those are the breaks. But it is not why we lost.

Refs were god awful and impacted the game way more than they should have.

The blatant holding on some of their runs which wasn't called was so egregious. When you see defenders getting turned around like what happened on several occasions, how can you not flag that for holding?

 

[BillyC80]

you forgot one

If not for the score

We would be undefeated

If not for the three defeats, we would be undefeated.

This.
And watching the replay of the Game saw a major holding on Walker’s 96 yard TD run.
#7 Longerbeam was held by #1 on MSU right in front of the MSU bench. He had a fistful of Longerbeam’s jersey and held on for quite sometime. No call. Total BS . Otherwise we make the tackle around the 40 yard line of MSU.

That was called soon after the missed targeting call. Make up city on that one.

 

[NotInRHouse_anon]

It's not to say we'd have won, but we were down one score when that missed hold happened midway through the third Q that gave them the TD...it definitely changed the trajectory of the game. When you consider MSU never got into the red zone from close range, it really makes you think what could have been.
