Coaches should know that referees will make bad or questionable calls that benefit or hurt your team. UM had their share of beneficial calls. The way this guy berated the referees after a non- beneficial call was appalling. Coach Smart’s cool, level headed demeanor no matter what happens is pure class and sets the tone our team. Go Dawgs!!!
Yeah, that was crazy at first. But there was an illegal block by one of our players, so the penalty was marked off from the point of the interception. Which was back at the line of scrimmage, not where Stackhouse was tackled.
Man it's good to be a Dawg fan today! This will go down as the most critical win of the 2023 regular season.
As far as Eli goes, he needs to whine less and pay attention to detail more like CKS does. Near the end of the first half, Eli was in the refs ear about the clock not stopping when he felt the receiver made it to the sideline (he was incorrect btw). Instead of losing his cool and letting the clock run down, he should have called a timeout and perhaps had a shot at getting into FG range. It's rare you'll see CKS go into a rage against the refs and lose his cool, and he takes nothing for granted.
Go Dawgs!
Coach Eli, you've built a legit team. There was a questionable pass interference that helped you too. Stop whining and get ready for next week.
Not sure you were watching the same game as I was. I was in row 18 and saw multiple missed face mask calls that should have been called. Face mask calls are a safety issue in case you actually care about player safety.
Multiple PI and defensive holding calls on Missou never called.
Multiple flagrant OL holding calls on MIssou never called including one where they tackled our DL and it ended up in a huge play for MIssou.
You do seem crazy 76 as maybe you need to get your eyes checked. Missou clearly got the benefit of the doubt on many and I mean MANY MULTIPLE CALLS AND NO CALLS. This kept the game close. Don't even get me started on some of the dirty plays they got away with either.
You are wrong and this was THE WORST OFFICIATED GAME SINCE BAMA 2X AGO when we lost in the NC game. This was probably even worse than that. AN EPIC FAILURE BY THE REFEREE CREW.
HEY BigGDawg888 I am on your side sorry how it reads. It should be (I was there yesterday the penalties (bad calls) and the no calls greatly helped Missouri however the Dawgz tenacity overcame them and won the day). Thanks for pointing that out. 😎
The one blown call that no one here has mentioned but was obvious to everyone was the long third down conversion catch out of bounds that the refs allowed Missouri to hurry up on but Coach Smart and staff caught it and called a timeout, and the cbs announcers were absolutely oblivious to all of it, when most people watching the catch the one and only time they showed it could see he was bobbling the ball multiple times.
The catch out of bounds where the guy bobbled it TWICE and by the time he had so-called “control” his backside was 2 yards off the field of play on the white?
That was particularly egregious to me because iwe have to listen to the absolutely lamest words in college sports that trigger me EVERY TIME:“convinced beyond all doubt by indisputable video evidence”.
Even the doofus retired rules “analyst”from cbs was asked to chime in and said that there were two frames that showed the Missouri WR bobbled the ball two times, that the ball clearly moved two times, and that he did not ever have control of it with just one hand until AFTER his backside was on the white out-of-bounds.
That was a third and 10 play with Dawgs up 24 to 13, at Missouri 32 yard line. And, of course, Missouri scored a TD on that drive 5 plays later to cut our lead to 3.
Another wrong call? The blind-side block call that took the ball from 1st and goal at the 6 to 1st and 10 at our own 30.
Mondon threw a arm block to the chest and shoulders of a Missouri player that he was facing, chest to chest and face to face, so they were both moving towards the play, there was no “blindside” involved at all. The rule book states “Contact with an opposing player can be forcible but not meet the criteria for the blindside block if the blocker who initiates is moving downfield toward the opponent’s goal line”.
It should not have been called but the college refs were told in the preseason to “make it a point of emphasis” in 2023, and we ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!! These idiot refs can’t see an obvious hold on lineman 20 to 30 times ON EACH SIDE per game, but boy if they see a “point of emphasis” similar play, they throw the **** flag REGARDLESS!
If the SEC coaches were smart, they’d lobby to have that play 100% reviewable, exactly like the ridiculously arbitrary targeting penalty is!
That will be the ONLY WAY to prevent these idiot refs from completely changing game outcomes; by keeping them in check and being forced to pick up the flag if there was no actual foul.
And no, I do not gamble on CFB, nor anything because I live in NC, draft kings and sports books online are not legal in the state.
Football, the way players are allowed to play, is impossible to officiate. Football is a game where penalties occur on just about every play. What is called or not effects the outcome of games. Yesterday's officials were some of the worst I've seen this season. It seemed they were looking hard to call anything on UGA (Mondon's crackback block) and weren't looking to call anything on MO (Delp's facemask). How did a whole crew fail to see the MO defender drive the crown of his helmet into MRJ's facemask?
Looking back, the Mondon crackback block cost UGA 4 points. Instead of 1st and goal from the 5 (probable touchdown) UGA was forced to drive that ended in a FG.
Eli failed to mention the real reason his team lost. MO was completely outcoached by UGA in the 2nd half. With 2 weeks to prepare he should have been more prepared.
I think they just need more crews so they CAN FIRE THE BAD ONES!
Look some calls are subjective such as holding but when you TACKLE THE DL that is not subjective.
Also, we hear so much about player safety but you DON'T CALL THE HORSE COLLAR OR THE FACEMASKS?!!
C'Mon SEC you can do better than that group of zebras.
BAN THEM FROM EVER CALLING ANOTHER GAME IN THE SEC!
Good coaches don't point to specifics. It's never about just one, or two, or three things because if those things happen differently, everything is different. Dumb analysis by a coach.
What struck me was Drink's tantrums over a couple of fourth quarter that he didn't like -- the one where the player didn't make it out of bounds and one other). In both cases, the replays showed that he was clearly wrong.
Mabye, he was trying to motivate his guys. But it ended up being a bad (panicky) look for him.
As for the rest of the game: Of course, I'm biased; but I don't see how anyone could come away from this one without feeling that we bore the brunt of the missed and bad calls -- Delp's face mask, that bobbled catch, a bogus PI (on Humphreys I think) and a couple of others. Mondon's blindside block was pretty disputable, too.
I mean, just consider that the Dawgs are so disciplined that we almost always give up fewer yards to penalties (especially at home), Yet, in this game, we ended up being penalized for 55 yards vs. 49 for them.
Ladd McConkey continues to impress everyone not only with his receiving but his moves after reception are unbelievable.
Missouri's running back Cory Schrader reminds me of Joe Morris, NY Giants 1980s. He runs with power and authority that belies his size.
Great comparison! One difference: Schrader's a bit more of a load, isn't he? He would have been fun to watch if he was on our team.
Maybe he's a double flashback to the Eighties: somewhere between John Riggins and Joe Morris. I lived in DC when Riggins and the Hogs carried the Redskins to a couple of Super Bowls. Talk about a guy who got stronger as the game went on! He just wore out the opposing D lines until they broke.
Schrader reminded me of that. I don't remember another game where JDJ repeatedly ended up being dragged or even lost his grip after wrapping the RB up. It's particularly impressive because Schrader's not even close to a Jerome Bettis -- or even Kendall Milton.
