Total coaching malfeasance. Two bad holds on field goals. can't figure until late in the clock to get the FG unit out there. Wasting timeouts. Continuing to waste offensive plays with Connor Heyward. Just effing stupid.

The refs should have called leaping.

[froot loops]

How did the refs missed that obvious leap?

[lineygoblue]

We've seen this conference shake out this way before.

There's one real good team, and 13 other teams.

Put the other 13 into a bag, give it a shake, dump it out, and arrange them any way you want.

Nobody in the conference is going to beat OSU. Nobody.

Same song, different year.

LOL!

AFIK, its not illegal to leap to attempt to block a FG, unless they make contact with the center. The intent of the rule is to protect the center.

Also anyone that is leaping can't be assisted in the leap.

[froot loops]

He did make contact with the center and he had a running start before the start of the play. it was really obvious at the time, Blandino and Meyer both agreed.

MSU deserved to lose the game, they probably would have lost in OT but they deserved a 3rd crack at the field goal. But whatever, they tried to Tressell ball a win as a 13 point favorite you get what you deserve when you try that nonsense. So many wasted plays on inside dives, when they open it up they get yards.

All teams have lost games due to poor officiating. Nothing is ever done about it. The officials network in college football is an elite protected group that the NCAA allows to run itself without a lot of oversight. They control all game assignments, and are supposed to weed out the 'bad' officials, and promote 'good' officials. They've been working on that for 150 years, and still haven't gotten it right.

Officiating is what it is. Video replay has been helpful, but has also been foolishly used to micro-officiate, which was never the intent. There was a PI flag against ASU near the end which at any other time of the game would have been ignored. That cannot be reviewed or challenged. Its all interpretation.

State will bounce back. By time they arrive in Ann Arbor they'll be all full of piss and vinegar as usual, running their mouths, and will likely beat Michigan. So, the season's not over for Sparty.
