Bad ACC Refs - Replay official clueless - BC at GT 2007

Georgia Tech receiver catches ball and runs along sidelines for an apparent first down (before an unflagged cheap shot out of bounds). ACC refs rule him out of bounds 1 yard short of the first down. This officiating crew's previous "claim to fame" was "managing" the Miami/FAU brawl game in 2006.

how bout the GT receiver facemasking? No one mentions the fact that the reciever had a hand full of facemask shortly after catching the ball. So they should be happy thats all that happened

[GoJackets2007]

Hey, Stephen Hawking - the replay was about where he went out of bounds (which the booth totally blew, of course). Some comment about touching the facemask makes as much sense as me commenting about the 30 holds not called on the BC OL in that game. Pointless.

Wow fucking douchebag refs.

Fuck Boston College too.

[GoJackets2007]

Hey now, it's not really BC's fault that ACC Refs are the worst in America. Watch any bowl game done by an ACC officiating crew and you'll see these guys disgrace themselves every year.

There were so many bad calls in that game... GoJackets2007, do you have the "immaculate pass interference" or the TD that was called "out of bounds"?

[GoJackets2007]

I have them both. The BC @ GT game has put our staff at "bad acc refs, inc." on overtime. Still compiling those and many others.

[CinnamonBunz18]

at least we don t have Pac 10 refs. they're the worst!

[jrcjoseph]

As usual Georgia Tech gets bsed by the referees -.-

[supercarolinabros3]

@TexasWreck if the runner's hand is grasping the facemask it is an offensive facemask penalty which is an personal foul I am a Big 12 official

[TexasWreck]

@TheFlyingSquirrel The runner can not be called for a facemask for using a stiff arm

[BQZip01]

The only thing that might negate the correct call is when the referee blew his whistle, which you can't hear on the replay. Other than that, it looks like a piss poor call and piss poor review

[Tigersfan829]

bad spot but couldn't that be a facemask on the offense too?

[kped0088]

hahahahah an unflagged cheap shot? woww

[primetime9399]

Haha

Go Tech.

[NDblows]

Ah, yes - I remember this game fondly as the game Matt Ryan announced, "I'm going to murder this defense, be a top 3 pick, and then be rookie of the year...startttttiiinnnngggg...­now."
