He was actually pulling on the front and back of his jersey at the same time all throughout the play. He would have easily been in position to make that catch if the defense didn’t interfere.
Re: “It would’ve only given Nebraska a 1st down” - Only if Banks didn’t go up and high-point it like he was trying to do before the PI. Without that PI, he gets to the ball first and #21’s eyes/hands are now out of position to knock it away cuz his eyes were set on the ball. I disagree with that sentiment. It was a well-placed ball away from the defender. Banks was coming back to high-point it with plenty of space to make the catch. And we’ve made 2-pt conversions easily this year. So I wouldn’t argue that either
Also it’s in the end zone. It’s a first down at the 3, with a free untimed down if it’s called. They don’t end games there and PI’s went back to be a spot foul again. Definitely would of had a shot
They have got to come up with some consistent interference rules pertaining to jump balls. This passing tactic is becoming half the pass attempts. My opinion is that once the ball is in the air, no contact between players should be allowed until the ball is touched. The rules now are allowing a battle to get to the ball.
As a SC fan new to the Big 10 I have noticed Big Ten officials don’t like to call a lot of plays. I see a lot of holding never called. I saw one play overturned with no proof but the official thought it was OK. Don’t think much a big 12 officials.
It is crazy across the board. No holdings particularly for the top three programs and replays where they somehow whiff with obvious and clear evidence to the contrary. It’s maddening.
I was at the game. 1 PI call all game and it was offensive PI on USC. It happened all game. The officials were actually decent except in the passing game. They let EVERYTHING go there
Good analsys. There was another bad no call at the start of the second half down inside the 5. Grabbed our receivers jersey. He caught the ball but was ruled out of bounds. Should have got the flag
I really hope there's a lawsuit or some grievance filed against the B1G by Nebraska due to these refs skewing games toward our opponents over the past 10 years. There's DOZENS of times that the refs just blatantly screwed us. And all they do is come out and say "eh we fucked up we'll be better next time." Besides demoting the crew to a G5 or FCS or D2 school what more can we do to hold officials accountable to make fair calls. We have instant replay for a reason. I'm not saying review each and every play but when it's a play that can determine the difference in scores that should be reviewed each and every time.
Shame on Nebraska's coach for not defending his team for the bad call or calls. Ruhle should have challenged the first down call against UCLA to. Rule needs to get some balls and start sticking up for his team when it counted.
The receiver had his hand is the chest of the defender attempting to push off. The defender didn't allow him to and they were both playing the ball. Good no call. NO PI's all game? Not the time to call one especially when they are both playing the ball.
I am beginning to suspect that the officiating is rigged, or that they need to do a wholesale overhaul of Big10 officials. It feels like we are fighting the referees as well as the opposing team. This is the worst I can ever remember. Last year was filled with disappointments, but I don’t remember penalties and non-calls being an issue like this year.
The biggest problem is " Big10 officials" or " SEC officials". The entire system of officiating in college football needs to be completely overhauled and the new system needs to be an NFL like model.
@Mothball556 It has to start at the youth level. 70% of new officials or more quit due to abuse after 2 to 3 years. This has contributed to poor officiating in the high school and college ranks. There just isn't alot to chose from. Finally, the average age of an official is 52.
What angers me is the inconsistency from game to game because "that's the way their calling it today". Why is it okay for the refs to decide they feel like calling pass interference differently from from week to week? Why is it okay for refs to throw flags on ticky tack hand fighting three weeks ago, but keep their flag in their pocket on a play like this? To be fair to these refs pass interference is also a big problem in the NFL. I think college football and the NFL need to consider adopting the UFL's "super challenge" where each team gets one challenge to review any penalty flag that is thrown or any no call. This would provide a mechanism to correct the worst calls without having to review every penalty flag that is thrown.
When no calls obviously benefit a home team,,needing desperately to win its just too obvious! The Ga/Tenn game,,,video replay early showed 5 penalties, or no calls that all went Georgia's way,,,fans throw trash on field during Ga/Tex game on a non review able penalty, and refs wave it off,,,,,teams are being heavily criticized for faking injuries, and being suspended or fined etc.but horrible officiating,,blatant missed calls that affect the outcome and there's no inquiry, no punishment, nothing other than " sorry,we missed it"!!????
I’m a Husker fan….and if you watch back thru a lot of the games, there’s hardly any offensive holding calls! Why is that? I’ve seen so much holding on the offense that’s not called it’s ridiculous! You watch the line in any college game and the amount of non-calls for holding is crazy! There were at least three drives by USC that on third downs there was blatant holding even my wife was saying the D was being held! I’m sorry but when the Offensive lineman is hanging on to your jersey as you are powering past him that has to be called! For whatever reason this no call or made up call crap has been an issue since the early 90’s! I almost can’t watch the games anymore because the officiating has deteriorated so drastically! I watched the Georgia vs Alabama game and it was a lot of the same against Georgia!
Unfortunately, PI is the most interpretive call in football. What occurred on this play occurs on every play where there is contact between the receiver and the defender. The bigger issue in all sports is “situational” calls. What may have been pass interference at another point in the game or in a different place on the field, is seen differently because it’s the last play of the game and it’s in the endzone.🤔
The reason DPI wasn't called isn't some grand conspiracy against Nebraska, it was because the NE receiver initiated contact with the DB (#17) by putting both hands on him and trying to push him off to get room to get back to the ball. The DB wisely grabbed some jersey so he didn't get pushed back too far. #21 for USC was going to make the interception regardless. He was tracking the ball the entire time it was in the air and had perfect position. Yes, the refs suck, but for both sides, and it isn't the reason you lose games. You will beat Wisconsin or Iowa, or both, and get to the Obscure Bowl anyway, and then all the "We're back!" BS will start again.
Refs this season, call too much, call too little, refing is broken in 2024, they need accountability and this has got to get fixed, if there only gonna call egregious fouls that play should have been called, a blind zebra could have seen that.
The big ten does not want nebraska to win in " their' confrence. Because they a still ass chapped about nebraska sharing theit national championship with michigan.
Im soooo fucking sick of hearing this "bang bang" bullshit, if they cant get the call right, then get out of the job. We really need to have press conferences with the refs after the games. Nebraska has done something to piss of the BIG 10, but dont worry the refs will appologize for missing 15+ calls in that game.. 5-7 forever.
I'm pretty much sick of watching WR's initiate contact which Banks did by extending his right arm and then whining about PI. What Banks did is illegal as well but nobody is crying about that. Officials have been dragging offenses down the field for years with ridiculous PI calls on what are generally poor throws all the while ignoring the WR is generally the guy initiating contact by trying to push off.
The stupid personal fouls and other 15 yard penalties were just that: stupid, avoidable penalties, that were earned and showed a lack of discipline. Arguing that those legitimate calls means it is fair that a DPI was not called is nonsense.
Officials have been terrible ALL year!!!
He was actually pulling on the front and back of his jersey at the same time all throughout the play. He would have easily been in position to make that catch if the defense didn’t interfere.

Its nebraska refs won't call it
They did it against Colorado

only against Neb
That's it....when Braska commits a foul, it's always called....always
I was at the game. 1 PI call all game and it was offensive PI on USC. It happened all game. The officials were actually decent except in the passing game. They let EVERYTHING go there
USC at the beginning of the game tested the refs at jersey grabbing (PI). No calls lead them to doing it the whole game without a call.
Good analsys. There was another bad no call at the start of the second half down inside the 5. Grabbed our receivers jersey. He caught the ball but was ruled out of bounds. Should have got the flag
It's like that don't want nebraska to win
they did it in the first half as well. it was going on all day from USCs side. They were pulling our receivers the whole game.
The redzone 3rd down fade route there was an egregious no call as well. I believe in the first half or 3rd quarter.
I really hope there's a lawsuit or some grievance filed against the B1G by Nebraska due to these refs skewing games toward our opponents over the past 10 years. There's DOZENS of times that the refs just blatantly screwed us. And all they do is come out and say "eh we fucked up we'll be better next time."

I'm not saying review each and every play but when it's a play that can determine the difference in scores that should be reviewed each and every time.
there is NO justifying any pulling on the jersey and not calling interference no matter what team
Shame on Nebraska's coach for not defending his team for the bad call or calls. Ruhle should have challenged the first down call against UCLA to. Rule needs to get some balls and start sticking up for his team when it counted.
The big 10 fines coaches for criticism on the refs
It was, USC fan here
Start applying lubrication on wide receivers' jerseys in the areas of the sleeves and shoulder pads.
I wonder since it was picked off that he got confused that there were two db's back there.
Nebraska always gets the worst calls it needs to be fixed. Fire or suspended these officials they are terrible
@@joeporcher2174 SC got screwed in Michigan game Minnesota game. Minnesota game is part of the reason they lost
One crew was fired in the big 10. The crew that called the Nebraska vs Ohio State game. You don’t see them anywhere anymore. There is accountability
The receiver had his hand is the chest of the defender attempting to push off. The defender didn't allow him to and they were both playing the ball. Good no call. NO PI's all game? Not the time to call one especially when they are both playing the ball.

No, this has been happening for years,Pelini to Frost. It cost a big-12 championship it led Nebraska to dismiss Coaches.

Poor officiating is a sure way to lose an audience...
I’m getting tired of sports that are subjective. It always leaves room for error/favorable calls.
its like that every week
What angers me is the inconsistency from game to game because "that's the way their calling it today". Why is it okay for the refs to decide they feel like calling pass interference differently from from week to week?

Lying and cheating is becoming overlooked and accepted in this day and age.
Vegas has it out for huskers
Doesn’t matter. Game is over.
Duh yes but we will never get these calls
Clearly pass interference, but it doesn't matter. The coaching and talent just isn't there for the Huskers. See ya' next year.
When no calls obviously benefit a home team,,needing desperately to win its just too obvious!

Yup. Pass interference. Now what? Gonna complain forever? Its done.

This is as obvious a PI as you'll ever see. I agree it was likely not a completion without the PI but you can't argue this wasn't a clear missed call.
Refs this season, call too much, call too little, refing is broken in 2024, they need accountability and this has got to get fixed, if there only gonna call egregious fouls that play should have been called, a blind zebra could have seen that.

Bunch of crybabies 😢😂😂😂 USC has had so many bad calls against them and we aren’t making videos on them.
SC had a bunch of calls against them that cost them 70 yards. Get over it.
The stupid personal fouls and other 15 yard penalties were just that: stupid, avoidable penalties, that were earned and showed a lack of discipline. Arguing that those legitimate calls means it is fair that a DPI was not called is nonsense.
