How can these refs call a 15 yard penalty on Chicago on a missed block that takes away a touchdown and then not call anything on those 2 hits on Fields? This is just egregious officiating.
How is the defender supposed to know that Trevor Lawrence is going to duck in to this hit? He’s 6’6” and is bracing for the hit. Wade is running full speed trying to tackle someone that is 6” taller than he is. Lawrence wasn’t defenseless. Running backs take this hit every play.
Final thoughts on Officials...Replay official was awful
1) Needed to CONFIRM all elements of targeting...if there is any question he is supposed to leave player in game
2) Call on field was catch and fumble...video was not indisputable and yet still overturned
overreach on both
Now that is just damn ridiculous. Yes, the kid Wade for @OhioStateFB did connect with Lawrence’ helmet. But that was NOT targeting. No way he should’ve been ejected for that plan. The QB lowered his head. That is just an awful call.#AWFUL
I can't remember a time where a game I cared about so much was so poorly ref that I seriously feel like someone broke into my house and robbed me and kicked my dogs on the way out. I straight up feel violated.
QB dipped and the defender wrapped up...this is a TERRIBLE call...Officials making themselves the story...SEC has brutal officiating in general...showing itself here
