Boise State Post Referee Expo

[T-Boone]

Did the crowd do the green day thing? I didn’t really notice it. It probably wasn’t a really hyped one they should have had it against A&M maybe.

Refs are, at best, a necessary evil. In practice all refs suck and are bad people. If you have a regular job like lawyer or whatever but "want to ref" something is wrong with your brain and you should talk to your doctor.

I love Faison’s willingness in the run game but it’s still ridiculous the lack of heavy personnel we have. TE3 is essentially Fields and TE4 is freaking Jordan Faison.

 

[Notre Dame Joe]

The white on white at Arkansas was awesome.

Not after Labor Day.

Not after Labor Day.

They need a white on white alternate with a white helmet and gold facemask/numbers!

AT TEU nonetheless

Which makes you scratch your head why we would even run the wild cat knowing how effective Carr is with tossing the ball.

Listen to IB and Bryan is very critical of Pauling. Confirms my belief that Greathouse camp is one of his sources lol

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

That game was unwatchable by the second half. Very excessive. When the commentators are making comments, you know it's bad, and they were not criticizing the discipline of the two teams playing.

I think it ultimately disrupted any kind of rhythm to the game and Notre Dame should have scored more points and won by more in the end.

This is my biggest gripe on offense so far this year. Why are we pulling everyone to the line of scrimmage and into the box on short yardage this year, just to run right up the middle into it?

The offense’s biggest strength is forcing the defense to account for a lot of different weapons. Then we make them account for nothing besides Love running up the middle in wildcat with nothing to worry about.

Love and Price make the first tackler miss 99% of the time. Spread out the defense on short downs, they make the first guy miss and it’s a first down and maybe a house call.

Love made the first guy miss on his wildcat run, but there were 3 more guys there waiting to stuff him.

Love had a walk in touchdown if he bounced it outside. There was no one there.

But yeah, that wildcat formation is stupid

Why? Pauling has been very good. That missed TD was just overthrown. It's too bad for Greathouse but the reality is we have four good WRs and only three spots on the field on any given play. But he's clearly in the rotation when healthy and will get his chances.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

This was the warmest October game ever played in South Bend.

Things need to start cooling off in time for SC's visit.

Things start cooling off around here tomorrow actually

saying he quits on routes, criticizing his slot fade route running

 

[irish4ever]

Should have been 5 interceptions today.

Should have been a couple of extra Irish TD's too, but all things considering (including the fuckin' refs) ... it was a good win.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Same here. Tis the season.

90 degree weather in the beginning of October doesn't do anyone any good as far as I'm concerned. Nice and brisk at kickoff for SC is the home field advantage I'm looking for.

I remember it was around 75 here in South Bend when they played Clemson in 2020.

Even down 7-6 and even with the horrible officiating, I never felt like this came was ever out of their hands. They were clearly the better team and no matter how much the announcers were glazing BSU's QB, they limited him and then some.

It wasn't the scoring barrage everyone expected. A lot of that had to do with the referees breaking up any possible flow for both teams.

I mean, even my wife was annoyed by it after a while.

"Maddux has already thrown 3 picks, dude. Give it a rest."

Weird game but I'm overall pretty happy with what we saw yesterday, here are my thoughts:

- RB and OL looked great, especially the RBs in pass blocking to my eye. Run blocking was a little weird, but I think BS was trying to sell out to stop Love and Price and wanted Carr to threaten with his arm. Love might still be trying to go the distance too much, but he's still just so hard to tackle. Price is just as amazing and what a run for him for his TD. I think he broke 4 tackles? We are beyond spoiled at RB.

- Carr and the WRs had an off-connection day, especially Carr. Get one or two of those long throws back and it's a 35/42 kind of scoring day
and there's not much consternation from everybody, or if Love bounces out on that 4th and goal instead of getting stuffed in the middle. He's a young guy, this is only his 5th game, he's still playing at an incredibly advanced level for his experience. I'm not worried about it. His TD pass to Pauling was my favorite throw all game. He sees the single high safety and immediately checks into the right play and has perfect ball placement to the back shoulder. Carr is elite and even in a "bad" day, continues to impress me.

- Can we please stop with the wildcat play that uses Carr as a blocker? He's never a threat so it just becomes 10 on 11. It's a stupid fucking play and doesn't work. Go back to what we did with Mitchapaloosa or something similar with a fullback, since we're so thin on TE anyways.

- Defense! HELL YEAH. 4 Ints (should have been at least 5?), 4 sacks. Guys were coming with absolute violence, playing downhill and hitting really hard. I also loved the sticky coverage from the secondary. It feels like they just needed to continue to build on confidence and it's starting to show. Play like that the rest of the season and we'll be in great position. Leonard Moore is HIM.

- The Refs were absolutely atrocious and determined to make it all about them on every play. Sure, some of the calls were legit or at least by the letter, but both teams got hosed by some really ridiculous zebra behavior. ND should be banning that crew from the stadium, they're the same ones who reffed Virginia last year and called back that amazing fake from Faison.

- Boise State might not be ranked, but they're not a complete scrub of a team. Solid program that has never been afraid to take on bigger brands and beat them, this was a game that had me nervous at the beginning of the season as one of our let down spots. If beating the spread and winning by 3 touchdowns is the result after a high emotion game of absolutely annihilating an SEC opponent, I'm happy with it. There's a lot to learn from but also a lot to be really happy with.

Is there anyone else who tracks ref crews that closely?
Feel like I just learned a new twisted parlay.

Yo Jimmy - gimme the over on score, CJ yards, and # of penalties

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

For the most part, each conference reviews their officiating crews on a weekly basis.

These guys are known for being overzealous from what I have been reading, but Saturday was way beyond. That game was unwatchable.

You have to call false starts, offsides, etc. There are obvious penalties. When it comes to the judgement calls, these guys were pretty much calling everything. Both offensive PI calls were terrible. The roughing calls on Moxie Maddux were also brutal.

These guys really overdid it, and it wasn't like BSU and ND were penalty laden teams coming into the game.
