Cincinnati 49, Illinois 36 (final)

[OHSportsFan]

Wait, that counted?

I turned the channel, assuming it would get overturned.

No f'n way?

That's awful.

 

[NFBuck]

Is this game rigged??? WOW

Big East officiating in all it's glory. Remember the Pitt-wvu game a couple years back? They protect their money makers. Wannstache better be on the lookout when they play these guys.

 

[dragurd]

Yeah despite Illinois reapeatedly shooting themselves in the foot. The officials feel the need to homer them badly.

 

[NateG]

Well 11 points given to Cincy. add a drop on that deep ball that would have been a touchdown and an even game is a 19 point game. I don't get it.

 

[OHSportsFan]

I hate corruption.

That's terrible.

 

[JXC]

I missed it, what happened? I was watching Auburn get up 14-0 quickly on Bama.

That was perhaps the worst non-overturned call I've ever seen....

I usually get pissed when calls get overturned on video evidence b/c many of these officials seemingly don't understand how to apply a standard of review. Irrefutable video evidence should imply that what is seen on film is so unmistakable that reasonable minds could come to only one conclusion. In this instance, I can't imagine there being a situation where video evidence could be more conclusive. What a joke.

Mardy Gilyard make a nice 1 handed catch in the back of the endzone.

Out of bounds.

But it counted. Even after review. Wasn't even close.

Bobbled one hand catch with foot clearly out called a Cincy TD.... terrible.

That was perhaps the worst non-overturned call I've ever seen....

The reffing in this game has been atrocious. It is time to take the conference affiliations out of the equation. There is simply too much money involved and these calls are bringing up the question whether conference officials will call a fair game if they believe it may cost them a BCS berth or National Championship appearance. It maybe time for the NCAA to take over officiating and do away with the affliations......

 

[Poe McKnoe]

5 minutes to go and Zookers finally realize the Cincy pass defense isn't any good.

 

[JXC]

Yeah, my dad and I were watching earlier before we switched over to watch some crap SEC football. He noted many times that there were a lot of fishy calls. The phantom personal foul was pretty bad.

Illinois scored 30 or more points against 3 teams:

• 6-5 Illinois State 45-17 548 yds offense
• 6-6 Minnesota 35-32 500 yard offense
• 5-7 Michigan 38-13 351 yards offense

Combined record 17-18.

They have 476 yards of offense so far.
They had 170 against the Buckeyes.

 

[OH10]

To be fair, Big East officials are notoriously strict about the "indisputable" part about reversing a call. Just take a look at the Cincy-WVU game when Pead fumbled at the goaline.

Oh wait, they reversed that one and gave Cincy a touchdown.

4 point call that won't be talked about.
