the officials suck and Theyre Big XII officials.

They have allowed Brett Bilema to just tell them what to call.

It's 24-0 and about to get worse!

Holgorsen's head would have exploded if he was Fuente.

I have never seen a coach influence officials like this. It's crazy!
 
Not watching the game....but it makes me happy that Va. Tech is getting their asses handed to them.

Arkansas should be in the Big XII
 
It's now 24-21. Maybe I'll get a win in Pickem with VPI. Nah. Arkansas will win just to spite my picks.
 
That fumbled punt /holding penalty which took 10 mins to figure out at the end of the first half was just insane and bush league.

I still say Big East officials are worse.

Thing is: the officials were right.

Bret Bielema complained endlessly, and the officials changed the call to an inadvertent whistle with Arkansas in possession (which everyone watching replay could tell was not what happened: the ball had been loose when the whistle blew). Arkansas ball.

After going to review, the official said there had been an inadvertent whistle, and a penalty during the kick. “By rule,” he said, the penalty was assessed from the spot of the kick and it was still Arkansas’ ball.

He was right.

Team A here is (serendipitously) Arkansas. Team B is Tech. Arkansas kicks, Tech commits penalty during kick, then Tech muffs kick. While the ball is loose, inadvertent whistle is sounded. Arkansas ball.

Not that all this mattered in final outcome.
