Worst Calls in College Football History || Part 2

[@pschighlights]

Is there any play I should feature if I make a part 3? I decided not to feature the infamous “JT was short” play from Michigan vs Ohio State 2016 because it was an extremely close play, and I don’t think it’s fair to say it was a bad call by the refs. I tried to just feature plays that were objectively bad calls.

[@TG8Productions]

I think that goes into the category of controversial calls, which I think should be a video topic you should make next

[@Furnitureisfree34]

Florida vs FSU in 2003, FSU had I believe 4 or 5 fumble calls go their way and all were blatantly bad calls.

[@nathanstroud2223]

@@heatedchair. I'm convinced that first commentator was being sarcastic, but I do get annoyed when announcers give the "he should have known better" speech for excessive celebration penalties. If someone gets flagged just for showing some swagger without delaying the game or making a lewd gesture, I think that can be explained by the desire for a weak man ref to lash out at alpha-male athletes. My concession here is that my half-baked theory on the psychology of excessive celebration penalties does not explain why some of these refs who go viral for being ripped or outrunning high school players would make such calls.

When they know you are THERE by your Presence and your Words they will back down most of the time IF they are getting trained to that in every game from every Crew. As for the Whistle we teach that there should be ONE WHISTLE to end the play. And that it has to be blow LOUD. But the play does not REALLY end on the Whistle. The Play Ends When It Ends. And that brings judgement into the game with each official needing to KNOW what each player he is watching knows and it requires the Officials to be DISCIPLINED to stay in his Primary or his Zone.

[@blitzir]

any big hit is basically a flag

[@fredleeland2464]

Bascially they want to make sure a hit where someone could be injured later in life is taken into account, the interpretation of that hit isn't just a referee thing though sonce the fans and the players also have strong opinions on hard hits and penalties The NCAA should just set a standard and stop appeasing to the media and what people think

[@justinc882]

ya i get the spirit behind things. But I've seen a lot of hits where a guy leads with his shoulder, doesn't launch, or like in the one clip here wraps up like he's taught, but still gets thrown out. It's too inconsistently called.

[@pangle54]

This is football, the players know the risk they're taking

[@MichterPianopunster16]

The rule is not the mess. The technique that players use as a way to try to get around the rule is the mess. They’re not using any effort to wrap up most of the time. And that is usually on purpose. Hence “targeting” and why the term “forcible contact” is used when explaining the rule. Obviously then they don’t see where they’re hitting the player and even if you try to use your shoulder instead of your helmet, if you hit the ball carrier in that area it doesn’t matter what you use to take the player down. The hit with Gerry was incorrect but the one on Denzel ward was correct because Ward doesn’t wrap up and hits the ball carrier up high. Ward had enough time to keep his eyes up and form tackle the ball carrier (the crown of the helmet was down). Interpretation is more and more difficult as long as the players don’t change their style. Point being, there’s a better way to make a big hit without getting yourself ejected.

[@geraldmcgill7994]

The NCAA needs to eliminate mandatory ejections for targeting. There is a HUGE difference between somebody purposely leading with their head with an intent to injure another player, and incidental helmet to helmet contact. Case in point, that OSU-Clemson semifinal game where Lawrence lowered his head at the last second and Shaun Wade was thrown out for making a great play; totally changed the complexion of the game. Compare that to the one where the Georgia receiver got knocked out by Auburn a few years back, or Burfict knocking out Antonio Brown, or that Clemson LB taking a shot on the LSU WR in the championship game and it's an Apples to Oranges comparison. Guys in college shouldn't be getting thrown out unless they're purposely trying to hurt the opponent.

It was supposed to be a fumble but called it a spike for some reason. Then they took forever to spot the ball for the offense to snap it

[@eatarock9]

There's a still image out there that clearly shows Stave's knee on the ground. Also, by rule, the QB doesn't even need to touch the ground with his knee if he's giving up, just the kneeling motion should be enough for the play to die. The refs should have stopped the clock when ASU jumped on the ball and at the very least they should have spotted the ball faster. This is about 5 different errors by the refs that cost Wisconsin a win due to the chip shot the FG would have been. I remember screaming at my TV about this one.

[@nolansullivan2188]

The QB, legendary Joel Stave, kneeled before he set the ball on the ground, which wouldve placed the ball right in the middle of the hashes, giving wisconsin enough time to get another snap off and spike the ball to get the field goal unit out there. Instead, in all the pandemonium, the ref didnt even give them time to run a play and time ran out.

When Baylor beat UCLA in the Holiday Bowl the refs gifted UCLA a TD on the last play of the game. The player was clearly down at the 3 yard line. The Baylor head coach was trying to protest and get it reviewed but his defensive coordinator Phil B physically stopped him from having the score reviewed. That bogus gifted 6 points on the final play of a blowout made the "over" bettors winners. Tens of millions of dollars was at stake and the refs and the Baylor defensive coordinator were clearly involved in the "fix". Why doesn't congress or the feds prosecute those involved in ripping off millions of dollars DAILY? Because most of congress and feds are being bought off too or are the ones paying the crooks to alter performances. Intercollegiate sports is truly owned by crooks and gamblers. Bettors are really betting that their crooks carry more clout than the other guy's crooks do. Hell the federal reserve stole control of the US Treasury and put OUR NATION'S MONEY IN THE HANDS OF CROOKED BANKSTERS. There's absolutely nothing federal about the federal reserve.
