It did not cost us the game...

[LawPoke]

But I had two questions for those watching from home:

(1) Did the Neb player really catch that 3rd down ball that they reviewed? It looked like he never gained control on the WMS video.

(2) Was our player in bounds in the endzone? (The play right before the 4th Down TD pass that was reviewed). It looked like he dragged a toe.

Otherwise, I thought they missed several holds on the outside on the stretch play. Again, the calls didn't cost us the game...and we have to get the personal foul nonsense out of our system...but these calls looked like crap from the WMS video. Even the Huskers that were around us thought so.

Both were catches. Nebraska's player had that ball controlled in one hand. Well, it looked like it was probably stuck to the stickem.

I think they should probably ban stickem on catching gloves. Nothing wrong with a pair of synthetic or leather gloves if it's cold, but those gloves are ridiculous.

Yep both were catches and both reviews were correct. No "irrefutable video evidence" to overturn the call on the field. Had they called it a TD on the field, it would have stood also. The refs were pretty good in the game.

I thought the only bad call was the 15 yarder for unnecessary roughness when we (not sure which player) hit Martinez when he was sliding. I thought our guy was halfway into executing the hit when Martinez went into the slide and I thought we got robbed on it. That was a big penalty but unfortunately not even the only 15 yarder on that drive so I can't really say it was a huge turning point. Bottom line is our discipline needs to improve.

Luke Anderson was guilty on that one.

There were a couple of questionable calls both ways. Maher's 50-yarder to end the first half was good.

Only shows the one goalpost. And I was at the South part of the stadium (section 28), so I was at a bad angle from a long distance.

If the upright was taller then we could've had a more accurate judgement. It looked good to me, but when you kick a 50 yard FG above the uprights...well it's tough to judge that one.

The refs are always, no matter if your player is in the process of executing a hit, going to call a penalty on hits to the head of a QB.

Both were catches...one was a bad review. I thought the Wyoming receiver caught that ball. But you guys managed to score on the next play.

Holding calls were missed on Wyoming as much as they were on Nebraska.

There is holding on every play.

The announcers said that when a quarterback enters into his sliding motion, it is illegal to hit him. Whether this is true or not, I'm unsure.

I think the main reason it was called a penalty is regardless of the hit itself, the Wyoming player targeted Martinez helmet and caused helmet-to-helmet contact. I doubt that was the Wyoming player's intention, but that is going to be called 10/10 times.

I think both were catches. I think the only reason #2 wasn't ruled a catch on the field was because the ref couldn't believe the receiver could really have done it. On the replay it looked good, but not conclusively so. As previously stated, I'm sure it would have been upheld as a TD if the ref had called it that way in the first place. Was nice to see UW score on the next play though, to render it somewhat moot.

The officiating seemed pretty good overall. There weren't any really bad calls in my opinion...much better than in the game against Washington when we were bailed out by a really bad call on a punt return. As a Nebraska fan I was grateful, but as a football fan is was a simply awful penalty and was part of what turned that game from a close match into a blow-out (except that Washington came back in the 4th to score a bunch and erase the blow-out part of it).
