South Carolina held on at least 7 or 8 plays, all uncalled

I don't understand why the coaches don't get together and review each other's games to see what the collective group of coaches are finding. Officiating is like a black hole where nobody cares and key people shut the film vault and say take it or leave it. Where are the "after game" reviews? IMHO more and more people are going to wake up and push for some accountability. When that demand for accountability shows a huge number, like 50% of calls were blatantly obvious, missed, and changed the outcome of the game, then maybe key players will call for change.

I think the refs should be fair game for media interviews and also former sec players should not be officiating in this league.

Holds can be called on every play on every team . We got our arses handed to us . Wasn’t the refs fault.

So, you say, penalties could be called on every play ... so? What? The refs should pretend they don't see some of them? How does that work, exactly?

Does everybody hold but us? Just seems that way. A lot of blame for giving up 63 points to a very average USC team.....Refs aren't one of them IMO.

While I somewhat agree with what you are getting at, the refs are certainly at least partially to blame, a 10 yard holding penalty on a 3rd and long play can certainly kill a drive or 3.

I’m saying , we got our butts handed to us. Quit crying over the refs .

The ones of you whining about the refs must have been the kids that always had an excuse as to why you lost.

I went back and watched and can post a bunch of screenshots. On almost every drive they scored, they got away with a hold on a critical play.

Those darn holds. We would have won but for those holds.

SMH.
