Did any of you guys watch? I was watching just a little biut here a little bit there. The announcers were hammering Pitt for screrwing up and shooting themselvves in the foot.
then, I'm watching it and Pitt scores a TD but WAIT a flag for holding and more hammering by the announcers.
But they show a replay and the kid barely even TOUCHED the defender much less held him. The announcers kinda gulped. So after the penalty the Pitt QB threw an INT and all was lost. I admit the INT was not a referee issue but the fact the kid was even throwing it was.
On to the end of the half. Pitt is driving and fighting the clock. There's about 6 secs left and the QB fades back. With hardly any time left he threw it away. Well, I was watching the clock. It was right on the screen.n there was at least 1 second left when the ball went out and I believe even 2 seconds left. The officials allowing it to just run out without even checking it cost Pitt a shot at a FG at least.
Now, did the refs make Pitt lose that game? Nope. But they didn't help. That "Holding" call was absolutely BRUTAL!
What I would say to you is, If this had happened to Michigan, and the proof was shown on National TV, I would be on the roof of my house yelling!
Whew......
I'm done with my rant
