It's one thing to have a difference of opinion with the officials about whether or not there was enough contact to call pass interference or if the foot was out of bounds. But yesterday there were some massive officiating screw ups of basic operating procedures.
Minnesota vs Colorado: Minnesota in Colorado territory with 1:05 remaining in the second half. Minnesota completes a pass to the 17, but there is a penalty for illegal receiver downfield, so they get the ball moved 5 yards back from the original line of scrimmage, same down again. BUT the officials forgot to stop the clock because of the penalty and the clock runs out on the next play.
Penn State vs Auburn: Officials lose count of the downs, can't figure it out even with replay, force Penn State to punt on what should have been 3rd down.
There were others. Was there something in the water?
