Does anyone else agree with me that our guy got blocked into him, and that should have been a live ball?

I believe as i stated during the game that he was being blocked by the UCLA player and did not see the fair catch signal. But it was close as to if he was forced into player by block.

I noticed it when the play happened and the replay verified it.

I try not to complain about officials calls. It is VERY difficult. I have done it and it is tough. Saying that, why no late hit on the long interception late in the game? Our guy was several feet out of bounds and got hit hard again. I swear I saw a flag on the field that was picked up but I could be wrong.

Yeah, I'm gonna say they did a pretty good job overall. Because I was sure when they got the ball back after the botched fake field-goal, I was SURE we were about to see 5 consecutive "pass-interference" calls and magically the P5 school was gonna be 1st and goal with a legit chance.

I thought he got blocked into the receiver but he wrapped his arms around the receiver as they were going down to the turf. Makes it hard to call it accidental.

As for the late hit on the interception return, I have no idea. That was clearly a hit out of bounds.

Absolutely...he was blocked into the guy then wrapped him up...the refs sucked again

I totally agree! Flashback to most any of our SEC games. Whose refs were they anyway?

It looked like he was blocked into the punter.

The late hit was blatant.

It was a quick fair catch signal too as the guy barely raised his arm.

No. The blocker made contact with him but his path was not diverted. It makes no difference if the blocker did not redirect him into the receiver. Short signal but legal.

This.

I felt immediately it was going to be a penalty. Many fans around felt different. lol.

The most obvious miss-call was the late hit on Miller 2-3 yds out of bounds after a big catch. Absolutely obvious & ignored.........

That no-call is a head scratcher. I don't have a problem with the call about interfering with the fair catch.

Another bad call was the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after the Tim Hart pick 6. My brother pointed out that a Memphis player was celebrating on the way to the sideline then the UCLA QB walked into that player and then flopped.

I was pretty much unable to hear anything over the PA system.

i think they were aac officials
because i remember the white hat guy with the boston accent doing one of our games in the past

i counted 3 penalties that were called that were not necessary
the cook taunting, unsportsman after the interception and the sideline penalty at the end of the game

did ucla o-line ever get a holding call ?

I will have to look at that. When watching a highlight of that play, I noticed he took dive as one of our guys ran by him, trying to make it look like a block in the back. I wonder if the taunting/celebration call had anything to do with follow-up to that. It's pretty bad to take a dive like that, ut IF he did it twice on one play, it's pathetic. Maybe he knew he's lost the Heisman Award, so he thought he'd start working on an Oscar - he is in LA after all.

Going to have to watch the replay, but that flag went at least 20 feet into the air when it was thrown. NO mistaking that there was a flag thrown, but couldn't hear why it wasn't called.

Someone tried to claim that they had 12 men on the field so it was a no play. But i pointed out if it was a no play then the INT would not have stood. That ball should have been placed at the 30. Pick on the 10, returned 45 yards which would put in on their 45 and then a PF penalty.

Totally different play. 12 men on the field was called when the quarter ended and they had to replay the previous play with no time on the clock.
