LSU/Refs cheating?

[BuckWrestler141]

I watched a long time ago a video of refs benefiting LSU. Well this play can be added to the film for sure?

What is everyones take on it, you would think that a ref without pads on would not want to try and take down a player, but it sure looks like this one tried.

(Earlier in the game USC benefited from a ref getting in the way of a LSU defender on a cross route. I can't help but think the ref was upset that the QB made him look stupid by passing it there earilier but who knows.)

I really have no idea what the ref was doing there.

The SEC is a whole different world.

Looks to me like he definitely threw is shoulder into the quarterback.

"Whoever gets to the quarterback, the Bud Lite is on me"

"What?? It was a clean hit"

I saw this when it happened. It was funny as hell. I can't say for sure if the referee was trying to help LSU, but he was like a LB roaming in the second level, lowered the shoulder and everything.

He needs to work on his technique and wrap up the player. That just won't get it done against Beanie or Pryor.

I wouldn't really have a problem with this, but after a few viewings, I can't figure out why he would move the right side of his body in that way, unless he was trying to make contact with the player.

I was thinking maybe he was trying to get out of the way of the play, but he made no effort to get out of the way.. looked like he made an effort to make contact..

I'm not even a conspiracy theorist.

Blatant cheating.

That is amazing...watch the referee make a great tackle. He slid down the LOS, lined him up, and exploded through the ball carrier.

Spielman would be pleased!!!

Still needs to wrap him up.

First guy holds him up, the second goes for the ball. Everyone knows that.

That would've been fine had the line judge been in position and coming to help.

I'm damn shocked the Umpire didn't intercept the shotgun snap and run it back
