Worst Calls in College Football History || Part 1
A compilation of some of the worst calls (or non-calls) by refs in college football history. This is just part 1 of the series, so a play you were expecting to be featured might not be in this video. With that being said, I will still take suggestions for any plays you think should be featured in part 2 in the comments. Enjoy!

Which plays should put in part 2?
Honestly just put all of these kzhead.info/sun/Z7VrdJdpnHOteJs/bejne.html
All the calls in the Ohio state Clemson game
The 2nd to last play, Ole Miss vs Cal, this past season. Should’ve been a TD
LastShotBot oh yea I forgot about that one
Danny Coale caught it
To this date, Colorado's record for fifth down conversions has not been broken!
Tom Brady almost broke it
Lmao
The Kansas City Referees did in the afc championship
@@raymondanimalcrossing Then why did they call back a KC touchdown?
I know the nebulously-named NFL Team from the DC Area came close, but couldn’t convert the extra point. Or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I forget which, but it was one of those two…
That ref had a lot of balls doing that right in front of the SCAR coaching staff and players. Their reaction kills me every time lol
Fr I love how they’re all happy at first when the chain is put down but then explode when the the ref says first down😂
@@pschighlights If that ref didn't fuck up, Clowney's revenge hit doesn't happen.
love both yalls videos
Welp, it only made what comes next better.
Did you put the Fumble from the Fiesta Bowl last year?
I’m absolutely speechless with that intentional grounding safety call, the fact the white hat can’t tell he’s at the four yard line proves he shouldn’t be officiating with as bad of eyes as those
It's all rigged my dude.
@@encycl07pedia- field goals, touchdowns, INTs, fumbles, are all challengeable, so if it’s close to a safety that should be instantly reviewed like scoring plays and turnovers in the NFL
@@KDill29 you do know that just because an Official or Officials have/has a brain fart, or even brain farts, that doesn't mean shit is rigged. Have Officials AND players been caught cheating before (usually for $$$$)? Of course the answer is yes but, that doesn't mean there are men and women standing behind the curtain pulling strings. I'll be willing to go this far down The Rabbit Hole and agree that.....if there are blatant 'mistakes' made by officials, coaches, and players.....something stinks. There are though, honest mistakes and miscues....that's just a part of everyday life. That 5th Down play somehow got by seemingly everybody (including the losing team) from down on the field and up to the Coaches Box and even the Commentators calling the game for Mizzou on the radio. Everyone got caught up in the clock ticking away, and the Official with the Down Marker didn't advance it after the first spike by the QB, and the rest just went by what was on the Down Marker when he spiked it the 2nd time, and it said 3rd Down lol. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, and everyone watching and loving any Sport should use what we didn't have back then.....Social Media....and call out the 'mistakes', and hold feet to the fire of those in charge. Anyone caught cheating, in any way, needs to be punished severely if need be. For me, that especially goes for those who are 'taking dives', faking injuries to stop the clock. Falling down and faking an injury used to just be prevalent in Footy (Soccer) but, not only is it continuing in that Sport, it's seen far too often in American Football. Time after time we see healthy players just dropping (often cued by teammates) to the ground. Sometimes, after Team Trainers come out, they hop back up and trot to the sideline. Other times they at least put a little effort in a limp or wobble, only to be seen moments later doing perfectly fine on the sideline and then returning to the game in ship shape. That needs to be nipped in the bun (or butt) now, and those caught behaving like a prat should receive an Unsportsmanlike Conduct Penalty, marched off against their team and if done enough, costing their team 15 yards every single time....just maybe they will stop that behavior.
You writing a book, G.D. who's going to read that,we saw the video.
@@jeffpadgett1339 then don't read it, no skin off my shoulders, and it was my time to waste in writing it.
4:50 the announcer "yeah um that's not right" kills me every time 😂
How poetic was it when Jadeveon Clowney absolutely murdered that man the following play
Definition of ball don't lie.
My favorite part of the story to tell whenever that play gets brought up.
Yeah, I’m a Michigan fan..... the Clooney hit/turnover was penance for that absolute dogshit call.
It's so easy to tell which refs have money riding on the game.
Targeting. Made his NFL career with a dirty helmet hit.
This video physically hurts to watch...
I definitely got angry while making this lol.

@@DaWalk-X ESPN Paid the refs so they could put the game on Sec and Acc network
10:56 "Hey Camera guy, are you ready with the next shot?" "Sure thing, boss"
I was thinking the same thing haha
I absolutely hate when officials enthusiastically yell say that a blatantly incorrect call has been confirmed upon review. It feels like they can't admit their mistake and are now overcompensating
The on field officials have no control over the replay review.
The booth can review it make the correct call, and the ref can still confirm the wrong call on the field. The booth doesn’t have the mic
@@drewp.weiner2473 but the ref says what the booth’s review decided.
@@darthplagueisthewise4560 my point is, the ref can say what he wants.
@@drewp.weiner2473 but it’s what booth decided. The on field official states what the booth went with. He has no say in what they decide.
That ref at the SC Michigan game honestly deserved a punch to the face. There is absolutely NO WAY you should miss a call like that RIGHT THERE!!
Well, Clowney dealt with it a play later
If you look again, you can even see the other ref trying to move the marker back after SC reacted to the awful call. I mean do refs really need to be on the take for the outback bowl. c'mon.
Christopher T. Facts
Yeah like bruh
They already had given the guy a great spot too.
For the one with Fresno St. and Hawai'i, after that great acting, he still missed the field goal.
Typical Fresno state things
Miami vs. Duke had a lot of missed penalties, the referees got suspended due to that incident.
as a miami fan im just gonna have my bias glasses on and keep loving that play everytime i watch lmao
I could see the first penalty being missed, but the last two were obvious.
Central Michigan was not supposed to reward the football 🏈 untime after Oklahoma State penalized for intentional grounding. The referees and replaying crew got suspended as well.
The non-facemask on Eric Crouch is one of the craziest missed calls I've ever seen. He's lucky he wasn't seriously hurt with how hard his head snapped around.
And after 30 years of losses, I'm not sure any of us KState fans care. The vid could just as easily include a KSU fumble from earlier in the game that went for a corn td, but the RBs knee was down and the ground caused the fumble.
@@powercatjeffy wow buddy nice whataboutism. It's insane that you can't just say yeah that's a crazy facemask.

Exactly lol/ Wish this showed the immediate aftermath
Johnathan Patrick Rumor has it there’s still a bounty on that Michigan helmet that went flying on that play.
Also, the play right after that is a TD pass.
Still searching for that helmet in space.
Ball dont lie
can u do best goal line stands in college football history
Although it didn’t matter much the best one I’ve seen was Florida’s 7-play stand against Georgia in 2018. Another good one was us against LSU in 2017. That one was game-winning.
nice im an auburn fan so i liked both of those
Jake Johnson nice! I love Auburn. Back when we were trash I loved watching y’all with Newton. Kinda made up for it. Saw the kick-six live. Y’all are probably my second-favorite team :)
Craig B thanks man! mad respect for Kyle Trask and it was a great game this year!
Craig B yea the kick six was the play that made me love football when i was young just learning the sport
They still missed the worst part of the Oregon-Oklahoma onside. Not only did it not go 10 yards, Oregon didn’t recover the ball. An OU running back came away with it and was about 15 yards away when the refs got to the bottom of the pile and said Oregon ball.
I always wondered at what point did any referee actually see an Oregon player with the ball…he couldn't have, because the ball squirted out the back of the mass of bodies and an OU player (Patrick, I believe) rolled out of the pile with it.
To give it to Oregon, wouldn't the ref need to see them with the ball? What a ripoff that game was!!
Man I live in Oregon but I’m from Oklahoma and that play drives me nuts everytime they show it out here...Boomer!!!
I am an Oregon fan and was in the student section for this game. Jumped the wall and rushed the field after the game and all that! Then saw the replay at home the next day and was like, wow... OU got screwed. lol. My apologies!
Gordon Riese
It was crazy that Iowa was down 31-7 and came back 31-24 just to get the game ruined.
You could have just played the whole Iowa vs Florida game. The amount of horrendous calls that went against Iowa was unreal. Even the announcers were going off about it.
d rockwell shut up the refs love Florida Florida is so overrated every year fuck Florida
d rockwell bro fuck no you straight in denial you already know that was the worst officiating ever
Jack Osland fuck Denver they suck fucking balls lmfao
@d rockwell he's a scumbag for making a video of bad calls? What the fuck is wrong with you?
I’m a huge Iowa State fan and hate Iowa to death, But that’s just retarded
Man those refs hated Iowa in that Gator Bowl
In an OU-Texas game some years go, Texas scored toward the end of the game to go up and one of the officials jumped up and down and celebrated!
*Outback
@@breatherboy6046 What game was that? I have to see that, unless you're a Texas fan trying to trick an OU fan into watching a game where we lost to Texas. Never mind, a Texas fan couldn't possibly be that clever.
Florida team in a Florida bowl
I hate Iowa too, but damn thats some BS.
College refs are absolutely horrible. Literally every single game I watch it’s full of phantom holding calls, missed passed interference, and every single player that accidentally bumps heads with another play is thrown out for targeting and is suspended for another game.
Without question.
It getting worse. The speed of the game is increasing and the officials aren't keeping up.
The sad part is that the opposite can be said to be true as well. The lack of consistency with calls is truly what plagues college football. To this day we still have no definitive rule for pass interference other than "unwritten rules" which ARE SUBJECTIVE. Saban said it best in an interview when asked about interference calls when he stated that if he had written rule for what his DBs aren't allowed to do then he would coach that. Referees are human and humans have biases even subconscious bias that they may not be aware of that affects how they call a certain play. IMO all sports should purely have technology determine these things. Forget the "tradition" or whatever the excuse is.
Someone hasn't watched enough NFL games. Bad calls nonstop
I'm so glad that you included the horrible onsides kick call from the Oklahoma vs Oregon game. That was the worst call in Sooner history. I remember 3 officials got suspended for it too.
The OU Oregon call and the OSU Central Michigan debacle were the 2 worst I’d seen in my life time. It’s BS that both crews were suspended for horrendous officiating but the L still counted.
Guys, I remember somebody made a video on the 5th down game. (0:39) and turns out, there was a heart attack going on at the Colorado sideline, so they didn’t update the downs marker.
Yeah I think that was KTO
Probably was.
Lol my dad and his cousin snuck on the field and were on the sideline when the 5th down happened
WeShowYou39071319 do you got your heart ripped out to close nice!
That’s true, but every official still has a down market on their hand. Between every official at least one should have had their down marker on their last finger on fourth down.
These were all beyond any doubt "Bad calls". However, half of them really had me asking "What crack are these ref's smoking????"
They smoking that Vegas check for fixing the game.
@@davidbowser3181 Exactly. Not sure why people still don't understand that
Yes, a lot of these were before review was an option. The refs call was the end of discussion for that play. Refs had big sway on a games outcome. More than a few were caught gambling on games they officiated. Some were just legitimate bad calls (ref at a bad angle, wasn't looking at that particular spot, to far away) but some were all about getting paid.
The worst part is when they review it and STILL get it wrong or confirm the wrong call
That Nebraska block was vicious
And it was absolutely the right call. It was the textbook definition of an illegal block. Not sure how it made this video.
Because it was the wrong call
@@mph7282 in 2012, there weren't any rules against blocks like this
@@mph7282 It's actually a textbook block. Tell me what part of that block was illegal, especially in 2012. A defender in active pursuit a few yards behind the ball carrier? Check. Bell leads with shoulder? Check. Bell aims for defender's midsection? Check. Bell keeps feet and doesn't launch himself at the defender? Check. The defender got his clock cleaned, plain and simple. Like Gus Johnson said, that's football. It was a moot point in that shit-show of a game for the Huskers, but your staunch dismissiveness of a call that was clearly wrong borders on arrogance and is quite laughable. Enjoy living a life of delusion.
@@b7grams the official was ahead of his time. Clearly unnecessary roughness and just a dangerous block that could seriously hurt someone. Thankfully its a penalty now.
That last play, I didn't know the Calvin Johnson rule happened in college too! There shouldn't be any "complete the process of a catch" in the end zone. You don't have to tackle him. The play was complete as soon as both feet (actually he got 3 feet) came down.
As a lifelong Mizzou fan, that 5th down call still gets me. Like how did not one referee or for that fact ANYONE not know that they spiked on 4th down?
It's okay, he was short on 5th down too. That sideline ref had literally just got in a fight with Mizzou fans on the sideline. He was calling TD no matter what. Camera don't lie though
Mizzou got screwed over big time
During that series a dude on the sideline had a heart attack which distracted the sideline ref and made him forget to signal the new down
@@dannybailey3720 doesn't matter...they would've probably stopped clock with one second left and given them a 6th down.....still no idea why they stopped clock on 3rd down
The Colorado one gave them a championship. Without that 5th down, Georgia tech would have unanimously won it that year instead of sharing it
Missouri takes a lot of that blame too for not even noticing it themselves.
The PSU catch out of bounds cost Nebraska a national title and PSU won the title despite losing a game later in the year.
@5:30. I still remember watching that Penn State v Nebr game in 1982. I was 10 years old and at a friend's house. It cost Nebr the national championship.
Nebraska got pay back in '94
@@buckstraw925 not sure if you remember but Nebraska walloped Penn State in the very first College Football Kickoff Classic the following August 1983. A lot of people called it the 2nd National Championship of year.
@@automaticmattywhack1470 Yes I remember that one as well. The '94 season though was a controversial vote and robbed Penn State of a national championship. So Nebraska got the pay back twice!
5:02 It is NAHT GUUD IT IS NAHT GUUD
He did not hit it. He did naht. Oh bye vision.
I’ve always watched the Duke v Miami kickoff return and have always seen so many calls that should’ve been called back to reverse that TD. Thank you for showing them
No list would be complete without 1997, the phantom pass interference call on Minnesota that gave #1 Penn State the opportunity to take the lead. Joe Paterno even admitted Minnesota outplayed and outcoached Penn State that game. Similar thing happened in overtime in 2006.
Those are two examples of the State Penn Inmates having the officiating crews in their pockets, which is one of the reasons I have never recognized that school as part of the Big Ten, the other being regionalism as Pennsylvania is not in the Middle West, but, clearly in the Northeast. As for the Maryland Twerps, the other (and, in this case, primary) reason is one Gary Williams, who evidently never really planned on staying at Columbus for the long haul as he was always taking interviews elsewhere. As the Dean of Central Ohio sportscasters, Jimmy Crum, said live on Newswatch 4 (WCMH-TV) regarding Williams: "Good riddance!"
11:31 worst non-call of a facemask penalty in history
Did you not see the play when a player that got his mask grabbed had it called against him?.. it was an Hawkeye player I think 🤔
@@sirslickrock LOL...at least they called it.
Almost had his neck snapped!
I still remember that Iowa Florida bowl game. One of the most blatant examples of the refs picking a team that you'll ever find. 8:25 helmet to helmet.
Penn State “catch” so far out of bounds is the horrible call I’ll never forgive or forget.
That OU x Oregon one was tough at the time. Not only did the kicking team touch the ball before 10 yards, they interfered with the receiver and, on top of that, OU came up with the ball. Later in the drive they upheld a pass interference call when the ball had been tipped at the line of scrimmage.
There's no interference in that situation. The refs still missed the the early touch though
Last year’s Ohio State Clemson playoff game had two horrendous blown calls that should’ve been on this list.
agreed
That fumble. Idek how
Just like that pass interference against Miami that clearly wasn’t?
@@jeffdavis5133 the pass interference against Miami wouldn't have even happened if the refs would've called the mugging of Gamble with 2:27 left in the 4th. Not to mention the pass that should've given OSU a set of downs for kneeling. Yea, sorry not sorry, Miami shouldn't have even made it to OT. The idea THAT decided the game is laughable.
@@thomasanderson6426 You are absolutely correct and no one ever talks about it. That was a horrendous missed call. I have disliked Skip Clueless ever since. He never has acknowledged that play and would call OSU the Luckeyes.
2:25 I was focusing so much on whether or not his feet were in bounds that it took me a few looks to notice that he didn't even catch the ball. That's pretty funny.
The Oklahoma/Oregon onside kick infuriates me.
The worst call(s) I’ve ever watched live.
@@rossflair6057 I'm an Oklahoma fan. I was so mad.
What am I missing? An oklahoma player touched the ball first. If you looks closely, the ball bounces off an OU players helmet at 12:31 before anybody else touches it
@@GrannySingaporePVP You need to look at some different camera angles, dog.
@@GrannySingaporePVP even if Oklahoma touched it first (which they didn't) Oregon didn't even get possession of the football. they were still digging through the pile and number 23 is standing there holding on the ball.
I love videos like this. Thanks for making it!
The Duke Miami one still makes me mad. Like home dude was clearly down with both knees and the on Miami dude clearly push him from behind. And then the Miami dude running down the field as the play is still going on without a helmet on. Play should have immediately been called dead then. But you know they do whatever the money says to do.
Him running on the field wouldn't negate the whole play. If it happened before then yes but it happened after the play was in motion. It would have just been added on the next teams possession.
It does make me mad as a duke fan but the play was still executed well
@@rashbyboy4499 yeah I think there has to be room for error on last plays like that. The effort that they gave was incredible. Sure it sucks if you’re a duke fan but as a football fan, it’s fun to watch.
@@jarodtincher2933 the problem I and many people have is that they used replay to pick up a flag. They said there was a block in the back and then went to replay to overturn it. Funny enough, the refs were STILL wrong. There was a blatant block in the back during the return.
@@jarodtincher2933 also, I am a Tar Heels fan, so it says a lot when a rival fan believes Duke won.
This is why you don't just let any dope be an official. These refs are all dopes
8:03 I can't believe Nebraska went to the B1G Championship, I first thought it was NCAA 14 lol
True
Pac 12 Shorts Why is that hard to believe? You don't have to be that good to make it to a conference championship game. Right now it's hard to imagine because they're so awful but besides the short time where they were elite they've been good for a lot of years.
It's that kind of hit that shattered Keith Rivers's jaw in the NFL; a Hines Ward-type blindside against a player who can in no way defend himself. I couldn't agree at all with Gus Johnson; *that's* the kind of play they want out of the game for the safety of the players.
@@HHopebringer i agree maybe 10 or 20 years ago it was a good hit but the NFL and ncaa understand now how dangerous those hits are. I remember Warren Sapp on Chad Clifton the hit while legal separated cliftons pelvis.
@@HHopebringer that's football. If you don't want to get hurt, don't play.
In the officials defense, they really have no choice but make these calls. Otherwise they would have to give their payoff money back.
Oh, don't give me that bologna about the Miami Ohio State national championship. The defender clearly had his back to the ball, with no intention to make a play on the ball, and bumped the receiver before the ball got to him. That was a good PI call. If you want a bad call from that game, there was a 3rd down play that Ohio State converted and it would have all but sealed the game in regulation for an Ohio State win, but the refs called him out and the pass incomplete, so Ohio State had to punt
Very accurate
Bro that was one of thr worst calls in sports history there’s a reason it’s in the vid ur dumb
quit crying the ball came first game over
For me the shock was why it took so long for a flag...
@@jadenn216 did you read the comment cry baby? Did you watch the 3rd down call? It wasn't PI but it was holding (did you see the call against Phili in the Super Bowl? Same deal)
2:59 Then a thing called "ACC refs" happened
the acc refs hate miami so idk what your talking about we had two close games lost because of bad calls this year and they've always not liked us because of our reputation back then as the "bad guys"
but yea the block of in the back which there was only one and then two players running from the sideline before the play ended was bad i was watching that and i was like there is no way we're gonna get away with this because we never get the good end of the stick but i guess that day was our lucky day
Typical ACC officials!
😅😅😅😅(those are the same refs that were in the OSU clemson game)
@@nicholaswilhelm1147 Actually that was SEC officiating Crew in the OSU-Clemson game
I was at that Wisconsin vs. Northwestern game that’s at the end of the video. There were so many horrible calls made by the refs that benefited Northwestern during that game. It left me with a sour taste in my mouth and it sucked because that was the first college football game I went to.
Thank you for making these videos. My blood pressure was unnaturally normal, but after watching this, it's now well into the hypertensive range. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you for including the Oklahoma -oregon game of '06. I can't blame Stoops for not playing up there again.
The amount of times PAC officials get suspended is kind of outrageous. In 2012 the officiating crew for the Arizona OSU game got suspended after clear favoritism, I believe the crew for the ASU Wisconsin game a few years ago got it as well after they just let the clock run out by not placing the ball for Wiscy
That vandy touchdown was criminal.
Love how the maryland guy just acted like he caught it after clearly dropping it and the ref said, "huh, ok I'll give it to you."
great vid. really captured some of the worst calls
Add that Auburn/Arkansas fiasco from yesterday. An obvious fumble determined to be an incomplete pass in the waning seconds allowing time for Auburn to kick the winning field goal.
12:15 look to the right of the pile. Not only did Oregon touch the ball first, but Oklahoma actually recovered it!!
He took it out of this hands after the play
@@sirduck2322 he ran a long ways with it to have taken it after the play.
@@sirduck2322you really didn’t see 23 from OU just roll onto the ball and pick it up? It was 17 years ago now, it’s okay to admit it was a bad call, they won’t take the win from your team
The safety on grounding play hit Nebraska as well once, where the QB threw it from the 1 yard line but it wasn't reviewable. It's astonishing to think that could happen at the 4 yard line.
Thanks for making this video.
I was at the Wisconsin game against Northwestern. Nobody in the crowd knew what they were even reviewing. It was as clear as day TD to everyone. You can hear the pure shock in the crowd reaction that they overturned it.
Fun fact: In the Wisconsin vs Northwestern game, earlier on, Wisconsin was returning a punt and their returner waved everyone off not to touch the ball, and he picked up the ball, and ended up scoring, however, the refs said it was an unclear fair catch signal and didn't give them the touchdown
Something similar almost happened to Ryan Switzer about 5 years ago. He caught the ball, made no fair catch signal, was hit by a Wake Forest player, and ran it nearly for a touchdown. The refs claimed that Switzer illegally ran after making a fair catch. I wasn't at the game, but my dad and brother said the refs were booed for the rest of the drive, while Fedora chewed the ass out of the ref as if he was bubble gum.
I was at that game, the refs were downright awful. Made me feel better seeing the student section pelt the refs with snowballs though.
0:14 As A Clemson Fan I Still Think That South Carolina Should Have Had That Ball
I’m a Carolina fan… we finally come to an agreement 😂
As an Ohio State fan, I agree with you. Additionally, as an Ohio State fan, I honestly have no choice but to give credit to Charlie Bauman for doing what he was supposed to do in response to Art Schliester and his gambling-induced act of stupidity in throwing the football that dark, dark night at Jacksonville. As we learned that night, Woody Hayes understated the fact: Actually, four things can happen when you throw the football and three are bad; the fourth being that your head coach can lose his job over the greed of his quarterback. Another lesson from that night (and one which I had to learn the hard way) is: If you're from Columbus, never, and I mean never, go to Jacksonville!
The play after the first clip is iconic in college football
Huge Beavers fan, watched 1:39 live... this still makes me physically queezy... We won the game by stopping them, but had we lost... they might have needed to find 7 more officials and 1 new replay official due to mysterious disappearances...
understand you are making a very poor joke, but you seriously need to put sports in perspective.
@@steveswangler6373 OK Karen. 🙋♀️
Me at 1:45: Wait a minute, Washington benefited from a bad call? Me at 9:11: That's more like it.
these videos make me rage so much
Two plays: Tackle of Desmond Howard in end zone on two-point conversion try in University of Michigan vs Michigan State; and Ohio State vs Clemson in 2019 when Ohio State's Okuda strip of ball was called correctly on the field but. despite obvious confirmation on replay, was reversed and called an incomplete pass with receiver having the ball and taking about three steps before the ball was knocked out.
The last one in any other game that’s a touchdown the rules as far as I know (even though I’m Australian) is if the player has the ball and breaks the end zone in the field of play it’s a touchdown
Yes, the main point being having the ball. The ref missed the fact that he had the ball, even though all the other criteria are pretty self-evident as well, yikes! Poor refs, it's gotta be hard to be a ref, especially when you're on the take, errrrr, I mean.....
In the OU-Oregon game, it doesn't even talk bout the fact that OU recovered the batted ball, not Oregon…absolute rip off!
Some of these calls are just mind boggling
That was a perfect block by Kenny Bell. Nebraska got beat up by Wisconsin in the BIG 10 Championship, but man did we have a highlight reel on them.
Lets hope that most of these refs got yelled at or fired after these calls.
I know the OSU-CMU refs were fined and suspended for two weeks, which is absurd because that game should’ve been overturned by the NCAA
The Miami-Duke refs were also suspended, and the ACC released a statement detailing all the reasons that touchdown should not have counted.
the Iowa/Florida ones were fired and their conference was banned from reffing bowl games
13:22 is probably the most painful moment for me…we almost lost to them AGAIN this year
@5:19 kicker with the NBA-esque flop..LOL!!
I'm bias but the Oregon/Oklahoma onside kick was not only touched first by an Oregon player, but also recovered by an Oklahoma player (#23).
You’re not biased. You just have functional eyeballs.
This video pisses me off
I'd say Nate Gerry targeting call from the 2015 bowl game should be in part 2.
Or the Courtney Osborne “roughing the passer” on Ryan Tannehill
These are the reasons why instant replay became into existence.
The ref from the Hawaii Fresno State game has been behind some very questionable calls when Clemson or Auburn were versing Alabama
9:07 How the heck do you call an un-sportsman like conduct penalty with :02 to go in the 4th quarter with such minor celebration by the scoring team?!? That is just unconscionable. And the fact they were 1 point behind and that would have won the game for Washington just adds salt to the wound. Some of these calls I can chalk up to mistakes or simple human error, but calls like that are beyond the pale. The ref is either incompetent, on the take, or worse. That call alone should have disqualified this man from refereeing any football games for the rest of his life.
It's actually an easy call. The rule is clear and the violation of the rule was also clear. The announcer was wrong when he said the QB spiked it over his shoulder. He actually through about 10 yards up in the air. The ref was just doing his job. The mental screw-up was the QB throwing the ball. That year was one in which the NCAA was coming down hard on end zone celebrations. Ref was just doing what the NCAA wanted home to do -- follow the rules.
@@MrGeneric2011 that’s still minor no need for a flag
That happened a few years ago. It was Ole Miss vs Mississippi State. Ole Miss scored a touchdown with two seconds left. The guy who scored went over by the goal post and lifted his leg and pretended to pee on it like a dog. The referee threw the flag for that too. The Ole Miss kicker missed the extra point and Mississippi State won the game 21-20.
I cannot forget or forgive the refs in the OSU Central Michigan game.
Should have never been in that position. OSU sucks. Boomer.
@@gailthesnaiI well hey its your opinion, OSU is a great team.
I hate OSU but there pretty good
@@MainCargo if OSU is great, OU is God-like. 89-18-7. Boomer.
@@sportstournamentsforfun8274 no.... They're not
As a Georgia tech fan, the early Colorado pissed me off big time. GT 1990 national champs
0:14 this call was super funny lol everyone’s reaction was priceless XD
I know he scored and all, but Waddle’s missed face mask against LSU has to be the worst missed face mask call in CFB history. He almost ripped his head off and they didn’t even think about throwing a flag
Eh don't get too mad about it. Bama scored a touchdown so it's all good. Now how about that terrible PI call this year in LSU vs Alabama in OT. With that call going LSU's way, Bama now has a tough decision: Go for it on 4th and Goal or kick a Field Goal and try and make a stop.
Florida’s “missed” field goal against Kentucky in 2018. Still mad about it. Still gonna stubbornly say that’s why we lost the streak.
Lol you're not lying. The ball literally landed in the locker room tunnel (directly behind the goal posts like most stadiums). I think the ref just started signaling "no good" before the ball made its last curve inside the uprights.
For some reason Kentucky has been getting the benefit of the calls in the sec in football the last few years. It’s bad enough how they get protected in basketball.
j walk bro what Kentucky always gets screwed on bad calls they handed Florida the win last year by calling a targeting when Kyle trask lowered his head.
Yeah, I'm still waiting for Charles Johnson to get in the end zone on 5th down. I'd love to see my team on the good side on one of these calls for once.
Husker fan here. Yeah, the 'Flea Kicker' MIGHT have been just a little bit illegal. But props to the Mizzou QB - he was a warrior.
That Miami v Duke game still blows my mind. Dude was obviously down and then later dude was obviously blocked in the back.
Pass interference AND holding on Miami vs. Ohio State. (Sorry, the ref had to think about which one to call, no doubt; both were viable.)
Illegal hands to the face at the snap.
The right call was supposed to be holding.
@@tadrood3386 I see no illegal hands to the face at the snap. I also do not see the alleged penalities on Miami. I suspect scarlet tinted glasses
@@ayarzeev8237 There's an angle of that play where Gamble's jersey is completely pulled sideways on a hold during the cut on that exact play. I know it's sad but the outcome is the same, 1st and goal. Truth be told the refs let Miami play in overtime... they should feel lucky.
The only good thing about the SC-Michigan one was that we saw one of the nastiest hits I’ve ever seen at any level. Another good thing about it is that it happened to Michigan. Edit: For Part 2, you should include the UNC vs Clemson onside kick
I was at the Oregon-Oklahoma game, great game but the ref's blew that call. My Sooner friends were PO'd over that for a long time, welcome to PAC 10/12 officiating. Also it always surprises me on the Missouri-Colorado 5 downs game that nobody in real time seemed to notice?
Watching these made me so MAD, I couldn't finish watching it!
That OSU call made up for all the missed holding calls on Miami. Among others.
Bulllllshit. Y’all didn’t even deserve to be there in that game. That was the most consequential bad call in college football history. “I had to replay the play in my mind before I threw the flag.” - actual quote from the ref. Bullshit.
@@Cpritch2 The other issue I see is they didn't put the completed catch for OSU into that where if there was replay he did catch the ball. That would've allow OSU to kneel 3 times and win the game. The fact they gave Miami an overtime to begin with means they threw the game 2 times.
Spoken like a true homer. I guess you weren't paying attention when OSU's OL was holding on every offensive snap because they couldn't keep up with Miami's speed. If ever a national champion deserved to have an asterisk next to their name, it's the Buckeyes.
@@k_zildjian4460 believe me, ever since 2003 when I use OSU*, it's always with the asterisk.
Regarding the pass interference call: The call was subsequently validated by the National Association of Sports Officials, and the Big 12. In 2007, "the Call" was selected by Referee Magazine as one of the "Best 18 Calls of All Time. "The Call" was also discussed on the ESPN Classic show, The Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame..., in an episode titled, "The Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame the Referees for Miami losing the 2003 Fiesta Bowl." It’s only bitter fans that still whine about it to this day
There could be a video this long on refs screwing over Nebraska
We did get a little repayment against 4th ranked MSU in '15 when our receiver went out of bounds and back in to catch the game-winning TD pass, but the refs ruled he was forced out.
there are fans for every team in every sport in the world that will say the exact same thing about their team. nebraska fans should never cry, you were gifted a national championship over a much superior team in 1994
@@steveswangler6373 The #2 team that year didn't face any top 10 teams. They were probably good but hard to say. In their bowl game they faced a team that went 1-3 against P5 outside the big bad PAC-10. And that was the highest final ranked team they faced.
Even though its been 2 years since the video been made, how can you not get angry watching this? 🤬🤬
Every time I see a bad call: 4:50 “Um, Yeah, That’s not right”
Didn't watch the whole thing yet but Wisconsin vs ASU (bad clock management by refs, all the refs from the game were fired or something like that) Ohio State vs Miami (PI) *I saw the OSU vs Miami one
It was PI. don't know how people ssy it isnt. Db clearly got there early and didn't let the receiver go back for the ball. The only reason people question it is bc it was thrown late.
@@MOBOBBA2166 nah, it was perfect defense He doesn't touch him until the ball get there, look at the replay and see all the space between gamble and the db
@@fredleeland2464 nah he's definitely there early. Besides earlier in the 4th on a 3rd down try osu completes a pass and they rule incomplete. The refs miss calls all the time miami had numerous chances to win after the so-called bad call.
@@fredleeland2464 Its ok made up for the miss call when gamble caught that 3rd down pass for a first down that would of iced the game.
You can say what u want about the Mia Ohio game but there was no way canes were walking out of there with the win that night, and no that wasn’t no damn pass interference.
Where is this years 2019 Ohio State vs. Clemson Scoop N Score call
Part 2
Okay thanks
That was really a bad call Clemson fan that’s a friend of mine told me they got lucky with the calls and where the replays were getting reviewed at was in dabo Sweeney’s home town
Scoop N score
Rysky Highlights I kinda doubt they were doing the replay in Pelham, Alabama or Clemson (where he currently lives)
good god these were heart crushing.
That weird ghost XP gave me an Idea. Most unlikely calls
Notice how a lot of them were in Florida’s favor 🤔
That Iowa game was the worst of them all Florida got every call and not one made sense they was about 7 of the worst call of all time in that game😂 all going Florida way
Penn State as well! In Happy Valley 2 years in a row in the early 80s they got really bad calls go their way to defeat Nebraska and then Alabama, without them they lose both games!
Funny, because the Gators have had plenty of horrendous calls against them. Fuck off with your cherry-picking.
@@diskonnekt1313 I'm a Florida fan and 2nd gen alum, the worst I ever witnessed was the Ark game in 2009. After watching that I realized cfb was rigged. Just seems like this decade bama gets all the calls.
@@squarecracker as an arkansas fan i’ve learned to just accept calls like this because the sec can’t have teams like flordia and alabama losing to teams like arkansas
You should retitle this to “ when referees have family members with gambling problems.“
Omg this is great.
Great highlights! I'm curious if there're any repercussions nowadays with officials making horrendous calls. Yes, they're human, but some of these calls are just plain knowing the rules.
6:18 1983, Ray Perkins first year as the head coach at Alabama. They came into Happy Valley, ranked #3 in the country. They were down 34-7 and fought their way back to 34-28. This play would've capped the comeback. It was discovered that one of the officials working the game was related to a former Penn State player. To this day, it still pisses me off.
so crazy that we dont hear more about this game, prior to this video I wasnt aware of its existence.
The correct call on that play was illegal procedure against Alabama. Watch the right end move before the snap.
@@buckstraw925 the flag was offsides on Pen States defense, which is why Alabama got a second try kzhead.info/sun/oMiml9RxbayLnoE/bejne.html
@@buckstraw925 Encroachment. Wow, PSU getting calls at the end of the game at home in the early 80's. Who would have guessed?
In 2012 when Texas played @OSU and “won” on the final play. The RB fumbled and OSU had clear recovery at the goal line, but the official on the far side called TD, OSU loss. About 3 minutes after the game pictures go up everywhere of him in his UT Alumni shirt with his UT cheerleader daughter.
