Is there a worse group of refs in college football? And I am not saying just in UH's games. I would say high school level but even that is pushing it. Missing the chop block that took EO out against Navy, missing the ball actually hit the turf before it was intercepted by USF this last weekend, and there was a fumble that went ECU's way a few weeks ago that took them around 20 minutes to confirm. ECU's coach was pissed and rightfully so. He kept asking them "guys, what are we doing here?". I am sure most of you have multiple examples of their ineptitude but is there anything that can be done for next season? Players will get hurt, games will be lost and it looks really bad on national TV to see such crap from the conference.

This is not unique to the AAC

Ah... The good ole #BlameTheRefs thread...

They are bad... I'm confident UC beats Temple if not for a gift TD on an awful overturn and taking 3 points off the board on a made fg.

If Temple loses this week it will solely be attributable to poor refereeing. Otherwise they’re great.

Yup. UCONN would be undefeated and Top 10 if not for those meddling refs.

I dont know. We seem to be well out front in the "taking a ridiculous amount of time to arrive at a bad decision" category. lol....Other conferences seem to be able to make bad rulings much faster.

Tulsa had a couple of those game changing bad calls two years ago, the no call at Houston when the Coogs had 12 men on the field and were offside on a late goal line stand and the no fumble call at Navy. TU went 10-3 that season but with reasonable officiating would have been 12-1. So no, I don’t think it will change next year or the year after.

The refs DID cost us the Temple game. It's not like they called pass interference or a holding call where just one team thought it was a bad call.

Their "oh wait, we weren't ready" clown show cost us a MADE field goal that would have had the game end with us winning 20-17 instead of a 17-17 tie where we lost in OT.

If not for that, we're still undefeated, ranked and the nation can't ignore a looming AAC showdown of undefeateds with UCF the last week of the season.

How did you come to that conclusion? I am not blaming them for being 7-1. Just pointing out a fact.

Horse collar is an NFL rule, not college.

Horse collar tackle is illegal in college.

I felt UC was very lucky not to be penalized in that play. I still think the Temple game were worse because they involved scoring plays. You want to see bad, go rewatch ohio u vs uc from earlier this year.

I saw no horse collar.

Stop spreading lies and propaganda...

The American Conference referees at the last 2 Houston games need to be investigated!

No penalty was called on the Navy 3 man illegal chop block that injured Ed Oliver of Houston
USF awarded a Interception when the ball clearly hit the turf vs Houston - WHERE IS THE ******* REPLAY?
USF awarded 2 points for Safety with "Intentional" grounding callled against King of Houston - He was not pressured, the receivers busted the routes. How is this "intentional?

I thought that for the Ohio U game, the refs were from the MAC.

Another play from Navy that I didn't understand and it didn't get a lot of run... Right before halftime on a screen pass, a Navy LB on the run lowered his helmet and popped a UH OL in the head with the crown of his helmet. The refs called a personal foul on Navy for targeting, but called the wrong number.

After video review the refs came back and said no targeting. Maybe I misunderstood the rules, but I thought leading with the crown of the helmet and a blow to the head are both considered targeting. Or is it only if it's a blow to the head of a defenseless player? Can you legally hit an OL in the head with the crown of your helmet? Or was the replay official only looking at the player whose number was incorrectly called?

Anyhow, it was reviewed, it was overturned - no targeting. However, the OL Mason Denley missed the rest of the Navy game and last week's USF game with a concussion. Foul or not, the player paid the price of the blow to the head.
