Both in the last 20 minutes.

Hands to the face on our DLineman, gave them a first down after a 3rd down stop out of field goal range. On the play, both linemen were engaged in the facemasks of the other, and our guy definitely got the worst of it.

Second was the unnecessary roughness on Kiy Hester in the end zone after a stop. He shoved the guy a step or two after he dropped a slant. Very weak call.

Also there was a false start on our center, replay showed nothing, earlier in the game.

The 2 defensive penalities resulted in 10 points for Nebraska (unless they were on the same drive I can't recall). They were both really weak calls at critical junctures. That was all the difference IMO, otherwise we played them to evens.

The false start was on the RG. I saw him move real time. The announcers were wrong.

It was an incomplete pass. There were two penalties on the play. Offensive pass interference on Nebraska and dead ball personal foul on Hester.

Horrible Officiating.
Sitting in the Stands I was yelling the B1G wants the Game to be won by Nebraska. The Refs got the memo.

Didn't RU lead the old Big East in apologies from the league office for blown/missed calls? Seem to recall that at one point from the early Schiano days...guess history repeats itself. Rutgers needs to claw every win and fight for every play to earn the respect they deserve as a member of the conference.

The game should be on You Tube tomorrow,a place where you can slow down the speed to a point by which you can detect infractions.

I didn't see anything either way from that play, so OK one bad call. I'm not getting upset over that.

It gave Nebraska an extra free 15 yards on one of their TD drives.

The personal foul on Hester was awful. No whistle and he couldn't tell if the guy had caught the ball or not. It was a push, not like he laid him out or anything. Would've held them to a field goal instead of a TD.

The hands to the face penalty was egregious as well.

They got the hands to the face call wrong. It was on Nebraska but they called it on RU.

Completely agree. IIRC - and I haven't watched the replay yet - you could see our guy's helmet being pushed up-and-back.

- the call on Hester was a ***** call, plain and simple, and we see it NOT made all the time

One of the TV announcers was saying that the Hester call, while under review, was for targeting. Made no sense at all as there was no helmet/head contact at all. Was actually a relief when the actual call was roughness.

Another Rutgers miscue was a freshman mistake on Hunter Hyak. He should have run forward (with all that speed) to call a fair catch on the punt in the 4th quarter. I haven't watched the replay yet but from the stands it looked like the ball hit at the 30 and rolled to the 6. I remember Grant made the same mistake early in his career. Hunter played a good game so I'm being a little picky here but he's got to run forward and fair catch that punt. It's the little things that win games and that was a not so little error.

But the idea that it came after the play.. the ref who threw the flag was barely signalling when it happened. At best it should have been off-setting.. but once again, after the refs huddle, they choose the exact thing that best helps Nebraska.

Speaking of refs making odd calls...so many times we see bad spots NOT in Rutgers favor. But the worst I ever saw was in that Giants game yesterday on their final punt in regulation.. the ball his in the white out of bounds at the 42 yard line. so.. maybe the ball gets spotted at the 43 or 44? NO! It gets spotted at the 48! They rob the Giants of 4 yards and no way that FG even gets attempted from 65 yards.

That play began as 3rd & 8 from the Nebraska 40, IIRC and I'm reading the play-by-play correctly. Result of the play, 1st & 10 from the RU 36. Would have killed their 97 yard TD drive, and probably forced them to punt instead. SMDH

So...does anybody STILL want to argue that this wasn't the "wrong" call? Give me a break. ******* awful!!!

Teams can't let 1 drop early on impact the game. . Nebraska had a drop on a deep pass down the sideline. WR had the DB beat badly. WR dropped it. Didn't seem to impact them. It was 1 of only a few good balls the Nebraska QB threw all day.

Yes. That isn't making a play, it's finishing a very easy catch. He's had at least 2 drops that have hurt the offense when wide open.

Bailey's drop was in the third quarter (late) when we needed to answer their scoring drive. We were starting to move the ball and he looked like he had a first down and much more. It definitely deflated our offense and broke whatever spirit we had.
