Those slide-roughing calls are generally a bunch of shit - they give the defender no possible way to avoid a penaltyWhat a horrible roughing call---I dislike USC but they have been completely hosed by refs this half.

Agreed. That one was particularly bad because it was totally clear the defender had committed before the guy slid, and it was after being a runner too. Just terrible officiating.Those slide-roughing calls are generally a bunch of shit - they give the defender no possible way to avoid a penalty
PSU getting some big calls/non calls going their way.
PSU has seemingly always got calls when they were playing well (this coming from a person that grew up in Central PA - me).PSU getting some big calls/non calls going their way.
That was the very definition of targeting in CFB.So, now they threw a guy out on a so-so targeting call too? That was not clearly wrong (like the others were) but tough.
Where is this crew from, conference-wise?

They didn't call it in the Pitt bowl game against Northwestern and it lead to an interception.That was the very definition of targeting in CFB.
Arguable---it's a high hit but not obviously a crouch or leading with crown. Though like I said, not clearly a wrong call either. I support concept of targeting calls but the enforcement has been very erratic.That was the very definition of targeting in CFB.
100% agree in the enforcement being erratic.Arguable---it's a high hit but not obviously a crouch or leading with crown. Though like I said, not clearly a wrong call either. I support concept of targeting calls but the enforcement has been very erratic.
He's done an amazing jobJoe Moorehead will get a big time power 5 head coaching job in 2018. Actually in 2017, he'll get hired before the bowl season.
I think my only issue with that call is more the 'targeting is an automatic ejection' rule than 'that was a penalty'. There's much much worse penalties in every game than that one that aren't ejections.Arguable---it's a high hit but not obviously a crouch or leading with crown. Though like I said, not clearly a wrong call either. I support concept of targeting calls but the enforcement has been very erratic.
We had this debate in a college game thread a few weeks ago---people's gut on what the rule is differs from what the rule actually is on the books.
His offensive creativity is out of this world. Those heaves downfield are all scripted, which is just nuts.He's done an amazing job
You really think he gets scooped up this offseason?His offensive creativity is out of this world. Those heaves downfield are all scripted, which is just nuts.
Well, looks like Wisconsin and Penn State were the two best teams by season end in the conference.
He turned down jobs already, he is back this next season but he will get hired before the inevitable bowl game.You really think he gets scooped up this offseason?
Your comment perfectly illustrates the problem---by rule, if he wasn't intending to hit him in the head then it is not targeting. I think that is more likely the case on that one, but it is arguable.I think my only issue with that call is more the 'targeting is an automatic ejection' rule than 'that was a penalty'.

It did look a bit like the QB got pushed into him faster than he thought, I don't think he was intending to hit him there... was definitely a rulebook targeting penalty, though

That will be a hell of a game.Any chance he leaves sooner?...please
(I'll be at mich @ beaver stadium next year with my psu wife and in laws. Go blue)
Agreed on the erratic part. My sss experience from watching this year tells me the call on the field matters more than the review.Arguable---it's a high hit but not obviously a crouch or leading with crown.

Agreed. And look, actual targeting happens and is terrible so I'm ok with some overly-conservative calls getting made generally speaking. But some work probably needs to be done on enforcement still...Agreed on the erratic part. My sss experience from watching this year tells me the call on the field matters more than the review.
Yeah there were a number of replays this year that seemed to indicated no targeting only for refs to uphold the call.Agreed on the erratic part. My sss experience from watching this year tells me the call on the field matters more than the review.
Oh I'm no PSU fan. I follow them a bit, but don't really care much either way.I think you guys will win...white out night game for sure
