Utah AD:
“I’ve been an athletic director for 12 years. This game was absolutely stolen from us. We were excited about being in the Big 12, but tonight I am not. We won this game, someone else stole it from us. I’m very disappointed, I will talk to the commissioner. This was not fair to our team. I’m disgusted by professionalism of the officiating crew tonight.”

Well, whatever he's alleging was a missed or bad call, he could be right......or wrong.
As I understand it, the Utes were ahead pending a final possession by BYU that resulted in a game winning FG. Utah aleges BYU's final drive was aided by several bad penalties called against BYU. The last one a defensive holding call against Utah on a BYU 4th and 10 that extended the drive and got BYU into FG range which BYU then converted for the win. I've not seen video of the call but comments I've read say the call was "absolutely correct."
That call is often a split second judgement call (Wiz and Liney can corroborate) but in the heat of the moment one can probably argue the refs should keep the flag in their pockets more often than not - especially when it is going to result in an obvious game changing, outcome deciding call. That sort of thing is not reviewable. But it once again brings up the nature of CFB refereeing. The NCAA needs professional refereeing not amateurs these days where millions if not billions of dollars are at stake. The only thing that will change that is for coaches and administrators taking the risk of fines to call out bad calls by the refs all the time.
I know the refs are evaluated post game and supposedly can be taken to task. I'm not sure that works very well. The better solution is to recruit and develop a cadre of professional referees up front, who are paid, regulated and supervised appropriately to prevent this kind of shit from happening in the first place.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.Comment

It was a very, very bad call. The Utah CB jammed the BYU WR 5 yards within the line of scrimmage. Something that most CBs do in press man coverage situations. Very normal DB contact on WRs. Nothing that directly had to do with the play and arguably phantom-like IMO. Especially when Utah would have won the game if the penalty wasn’t called. Though I’m not sure if college football has different rules when compared to the NFL here. Maybe DBs can’t make contact within 5 yards. I feel like it happens all of the time.
That said, sure… it’s a difficult subject when talking about officiating. Refs have taken a hit all season in college football. It started with the Georgia vs Texas game when Texas fans littered the field due to an awful penalty. It caused the game to be delayed 20 minutes. College football fans have done that a few times since then.
No, college football is not systematically rigged or anything like that. I do believe it’s a combination of bad officiating, randomness, and maybe a few rogue officials. It would be hard to prove real-life Paulie Walnuts is paying off individual refs. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s happens with a handful of people.AAL 2023 - Alim McNeillComment

I saw the replay. Oy. Not sure about that call. If that was a hold you could call that on about half of all deep routes. But hey...the B12 protected it's undefeated asset...just like they did in 2009 with Texas...Shut the fuck up Donny!Comment
