Advocate ref expert says all calls were fine except pass int on Greedy!

Mond’s knee being down was never up for debate. He never possess the ball with his knee down. He just has 3 fingers on the nose of the ball then his knee comes up and he picks up the ball.

He doesn't work for the Advocate.

Terry McAulay is a former American football official in the National Football League since the 1998 NFL season, and Coordinator of Football Officials for the American Athletic Conference since 2008, when the conference was known as the Big East Conference.


Education: Louisiana State University


If anyone should have a bias, it's him since he attended LSU.

McAulay Bio

I don't give a f*ck what he says, that was a fumble and a recovery by LSU. It's amazing to me that the refs allowed a ball that was thrown to an LSU WR and clearly hit the ground to be run back by an aTm defender like it was a touchdown, but ruled an incomplete pass on a play that should have ended the game.

So then everybody needs to use their brains and get over it. LSU let one slip away at the end of regulation and paid for it in the end. It’s a tough loss with tough breaks, but the refs didn’t screw us, and there’s no conspiracy or fix or anything.

He doesn’t address the horrible inconsistency in how the fumble/incompletion was handled. The refs let a play go on a blatently obvious incompletion and fixed it on review in the first half. The same logic should have been applied here. Let the play go on, and verify on review. The ONLY thing he says is that there wasn’t enough to overturn in his opinion. If they handle the play the same both way, it likely wouldn’t had been overturned as an INT, either.

That in-game inconsistency was on display with the last two PI calls on each team. They had been playing physical all game, and the refs decided to change tactics in OT. That’s the same shite that pisses people off about the NBA and it’s officiating.

What's so wow about it?

Rant "ref" and "defensive" experts disagree

What about the formation to spike the ball to stop the clock. Is it ok to not have 4 in the back of the line or have 9 on the line? Refs just let them have it because they felt sorry for them? I think that penalty would have had a 10 sec count down added to it, right?

One more reason not to read the Advocate.

Sounds like the same guy that Lady Mascona talked to about the Devin White hit. Even though multiple officials from around the country said he was wrong.
