Another question on ref call

[xrugger]

The pass interference call that resulted in a Michigan touchdown instead of a probable field goal baffled me. It appeared to me that the receiver ran right into the linebacker who didn't appear to me to make any particular movement to obstruct him. Moreover, the receiver was heading in and the pass was thrown as if the QB expected a fade or out route. It was nowhere near catchable in my opinion. So, two questions: why was that called pass interference in the first place and why wasn't it waved off for an uncatchable pass?

Big Ten office has issued a formal statement on that one:

It’s was just a horrible call all around, that had a massive impact on the game.

Here is where I was frustrated with, is, there was no penalty against SCUM for taunting... How can the rule be written to allow that to not really penaltize the team especially for something like that , that should be removed from the game.... How is that something that did not hurt scum at all, that should have been 1st down husker, even if it was after the play, it should have still punished them by giving the ball back to Huskers... I mean, I understand that is the BS rule, but seems to me it is stupid that the ball is considered already switched possessions and probably which didn't matter at that point, I guess my whole point is, that punishment didn't fit the crime, it should be harsher just like targetting...

Automatic first down. Michigan gift

It's a spot foul (if it's a foul at all), and the ball should be at the 6. DPI is never a half-the-distance penalty. It's 15 yards from the previous spot or a spot foul, whichever is the shortest. In the case of DPI at the 1-yard line or in the EZ, the ball is placed at the 2-yard line.

Weren’t we flagged for a pick on the same type of play a couple weeks ago. Two players not even in the play running into each other.

Just a horrible call by a dumbass ref.
