PromoTheRobot Posted October 12, 2008 Author Posted October 12, 2008 talk about the defense laying an egg with 7 minutes left to go. the INT returned for touchdown getting called back for a roughing the passer seemed to really let the air out of the defense. Typical MAC officiating. Long history of jobbing UB. PTR
Mantis Toboggan M.D Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 actually. we lucked out on a call, the play before the touchdown to force overtime was a fade route towards my side of the field and i saw that the WR caught the ball, and was in bounds for the touchdown but the ref called it out of bounds. which is really a moot point because they ran the exact same play in the opposite direction the next play to tie it. but the officiating was pretty poor.
R. Rich Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I didn't think the roughing call was a bad one. I thought it was a stupid play to happen @ an absolute horrible time. Aside from that, the Bulls had awful clock management (throwing 2 passes after the fumble recovery instead of eating up clock?) and poor play selection down the stretch and just flat out blew that game. Blowing leads of 15 earlier (21-6) and then 14 w/ just over 4 minutes to go is ridiculous. That defense, in the two games I've been there (Temple and this one) has shown that they cannot be relied upon to win a game. Remember the way they scored late in the 2nd quarter of the Temple game, only to have the defense give up a TD in just 3 plays? Davonte Shannon does have some good ball skills, but he isn't nearly physical enough for my taste. He simply let Western wideout Jamarko Simmons (who was like a man among boys on Saturday) get in front of him to catch that 2 point conversion when he was in position to either pick it off or just knock it down. In run support, I saw him make a couple Deion Sanders-like tackles too.
