It was bad but throwing it from 35 yards on 4th and 20 isn’t and shouldn’t get the call.
Pass Interference on that last pass

Yeah. I have been watching this garbage for a long, long time. So you are right. I really don't care at this point. I post to get rid of my boredom and to get my rocks off just a bit. 3 wins out of 11 isn't doing it for me right now. Sorry. I must not be a fan.

Neutral opinion here, as I'm from Minnesota.
I like the no-call. I don't like rewarding a bad play. The receiver was triple covered. If the pass would have been on-target, there was another defender standing RIGHT THERE to break it up. But the pass was under-thrown, causing the receiver to stop and the trailing defender to bump him.
Yeah, yeah, I know that technically it was pass-interference. But I've always liked some common-sense and discretion to be used. Same with 'targeting'....if there's nothing the defender can do to avoid it, if he has a full head of steam and the offensive player ducks down into him....I like the no-call.

He beat them. If it was on target it’s a TD. But of course you like the no call.
So if a guard dribbles in the lane 1 on 3 and get fouled going to the bucket, the defense should knock him to the ground and the refs should ignore them knocking him to the ground because they shouldn’t reward a bad play?
WTF kind of stupid logic is that?
This team hasn’t quit and neither should you. We need Husker nation more than ever to support the program. Win or lose these guys give it their all. We can too.
Remember on the kickoff return there were several blocks in the back and no flags, all ill say about the holding calls they were pretty slanted to Wisconsins advantage yeah we held but we’re flagged several times there o line didn’t get called and Several times we lost yards just by the officials placing the ball back and of course the icing on the cake was the no call pi another wonderful job of officiating by Barry’s good ole boy club
hahaha...I agree in that even if we get first and goal I don't believe we would have scored or won in the end anyways.
The plan according to Frost was to score with as little time as possible left on the clock and then go for two to win the game in regulation without giving them a shot at a big KO return and a field goal to end the game. That is logical.
How did clock management effect the final drive? We ran out of downs, not time.
If pi was called we would have been down to four seconds with first down. I think he should have called one TO earlier.
My only problem with that, is I think there’s only been one pass interference call in the NFL since 2009 on a Hail Mary and that’s exactly what that play was, a Hail Mary. It’s wrong and I don’t agree with it, but that’s just how it is.
Don’t agree. That ball was clearly catchable and the db took out the receiver without looking back on the ball at all. that was far from a Hail Mary.
I was not a fan of the end of game clock management either, but also understand the strategy of not wanting to score quickly and give the ball back to Wisconsin to finish the game. Seemed like a case of pick your poison - rely on NU's proven inept 2 minute offense to try and win the game, or rely on the proven inept special teams and defense that allowed Wisconsin to respond to virtually every NU score to win. And yes, the last no call was terrible, although I thought we got a gift on the PI call on Austin a few plays earlier - don't look like that was catchable if he is 9'9" - at least from what I could see on TV
Ummmm, the common-sense part is that the ref does not use their discretion but in fact just calls the game according to the rules in the rule book.
My favorite no-call of the season was that the refs did not flag Bowling Green for partying on your field.
Can we stop with this? The refs are blamed after every damn loss. After 4 straight seasons of .350 play, I think there's a common denominator other than the refs that is causing us to lose.
He never gets the pass off without the obvious hold by Corcoran, should have been offsetting penalties
When B1G Network Analysts and even ESPN Analysts say on their show it’s a obvious pass interference and a blatant missed call, you know a Ref really f***ed up big time!
Pass interference is pass interference no matter what goofy description you attach to it.
Both can be true. We suck and shouldn't have been in that position. And the penalty should have been called.
We do we have to choose one or the other?
The defender when playing appropriate defensive football should know where the ball is to avoid this contact. PI occurs when you have no perspective of where the ball is. Your defense of the no call is not understandable to me.
Doesn’t matter if the pass was shot out of Martinez anus and end over end. It went to the target and it was a bad and incredibly obvious PI in the most high leverage situation of the game. Bad take.
Ask any coach on here and I am sure they will tell you that if you play enough games there are going to be missed calls. Contrary to popular belief, they really don't all go against us.
As for this game, yep they missed it, could have been called. Then I think back over the game about the KO return to start, poor tackling, the INTs, and the multiple holds by our outmatched tackles to name a few.
The truth I'd if we played even a little cleaner we aren't all complaining about a call at the end of thr game.
Just my opinion, which, so far in America, I am allowed to have.

Yeah. Let's bag on the kid that ripped Wisconsin for 351 pass yards, 30 rush yards + a TD, and ran the option component of the offense flawlessly.
You must be perfect at life. Must be awesome. I'm jealous @HuskersNC .
Yep should have not been in the position of 4 and 20…. with 2 timeouts in our pocket and not having anything creative to win at the end except for 4 passes ..
Wisconsin had another defender standing right where a perfect pass would have been. If somehow the receiver still caught the ball, he certainly would have been stopped short the endzone.
90% of pass interference happen on underthrown balls where the db runs into the defender. If it’s a PI in the 1st qtr it’s a pi on the last play.
