First of all, the officiating was as bad as I've seen since that pitt-wvu game in 2007. Holding all over those last two drives RIGHT IN FRONT OF officials. The end zone was all I needed to see, these refs were letting wvu back in this by any means necessary. Then, to top it off, a wvu player choke slams a marshall kid as a ref watches on and nothing. Pathetic.

Second, this loss is on marshalls DC. That shit he was calling at the end was pathetic. I can kind of understand major programs doing that soft zone "prevent" shit in the 4th quarter because they have a lot more to lose and you don't want to allow the big play. When you're fucking Marshall and you have your supposed arch-rival on the ropes and have been dominating them all night by being aggressive, going to that is inexcusable. What a joke.

I haven't read 1 post in this thread...but here are my observations.


On the last drive on the play before the 1st down PI call with about 1:30 to go. There was a play on the sideline....the ref slammed his right foot down short of the yellow line. He stood there for a second or two. Someone threw him the ball. He stepped forward with his left foot and spotted on his left toe and signalled 1st down. He moved the ball forward at least 8 inches. Next play...same ref calls pass interferance on a pass in the dirt. I rewound this play 5 times. My wife who could give a shit about football agreed that the ref moved the ball forward across the first down marker.

Then in overtime, on the run at the goal line where the Marshall guy came up with the ball in the pile. A WVU player grabs him with 2 hands, picks him up, and body slams him 2 yards back. 2 refs watch this happen with no flag. Should have been a 15 yard penalty. The fix was in late in this game.

you mean Marshall took a top 25 team to OT?

this cant be, Marshall is so bad that a performance against them "doesnt matter" as much as one against Florida A&M

[censored] you Mark May

There was a hold called on a Marshall punt. It ended up being a touchback with no return. They called the hold and ended up saying they'd enforce it end of the return - WVU ball at the 30.

Did I miss something? Was there a rule change that allows that? I thought the option would be decline, take the ball at the 20, or accept it, move em back 10 and have them kick it again.
