    UW should be up by a score…..Pretty confident in them winning this game.

  If I am an NFL scout watching Penix right now, I am foaming at the mouth. This offense is truly unstoppable. It’s incredible to watch Penix, truly jaw-dropping too me.

    He is SO good. And so are his receivers.

    No, he shouldn’t have. Go look at his game by game statistics. Yes, Washington was undefeated but Penix had a number of bad to mediocre games (versus ASU, Oregon State, and Wazzu) this season while Daniels had none.

      Dubs and L’s matter more. Penix wins. His defense and rushing game is dogs**t to.

        Eagle, Penix ended the regular season as the #14 rated QB in the FBS.

    Are lefties even eligible for it?
    (I know Tebow and Leinert are lefties and won it, calm down southpaws)

  I think Washington is going to get curb-stomped by Michigan. Texas could have done better in this game but continuously shot itself in the foot with turnovers and stupid penalties at the worst time. Michigan has a much better defense than Texas (#1 in the FBS), so I’ll be shocked if Penix and his receivers are allowed to run wild in the NCG. This contest also goes to show how low the ceiling is among the current members of the truck stop conference we’re joining later this year.

    I think CFB is trying to convince me that they are the WWF.
    
    Also, if Wash. had played Whitt ball, this game would be over. Passing on 3rd and goal instead of running to waste time is Atlanta-Falcons against the Patriots in the Super Bowl level of stupid.

  Washington is the f**king luckiest team on the face of the earth. Total DPI on the last play of the game.

    Never in a million years is that a DPI. Eyes on the ball and straight up swatted it away

      He was draped all over the guy’s back with his left hand on his shoulders so that he could elevate and swat the ball with his right. There’s also a ton of contact well before the ball gets to the receiver.

    I think the play was the perfect combination for the defense. Ball thrown high, defender has no reason to try to catch it or keep it inbounds. The receiver has to get a foot in, and had a decision to try to go up and come back down in bounds or just toe tap. Looks like he went for the toe tap.
    
    I think the defender got up, stayed up, the hand on the shoulder was insignificant IMO.
    
    I think it was perfectly played by the DB, no PI.

  We gave washington all they could handle with Barnes. Can’t help but think if we could some wr’s in the portal a safety and a another bruiser rb. We could have a dangerous team next year.

  Here’s another view of the last play of the game. To me, that’s textbook DPI.

    I dislike Washington a lot as well. But that is perfect defense. I mean the little hand on him is nothing.

      Here is how the NCAA rulebook officially defines the defensive pass interference rule:
      
      “Defensive pass interference is contact beyond the neutral zone by a Team B player whose intent to impede an eligible opponent is obvious and could prevent the opponent the opportunity of receiving a catchable forward pass. When in question, a legal forward pass is catchable. Defensive pass interference occurs only after a legal forward pass is thrown.”
      
      Contact? Check. Legal forward pass? Check. Pass interference? Check. As I stated previously, what my eyes tell me is that the DB is using his left hand to both maintain his elevation and keep the receiver from launching himself at the ball. There’s also zero doubt that there’s contact between the two before the ball arrives. That, to me and as per the NCAA’s own rulebook is pass interference.

        Madden said once you could call PI or hold on every play.
        
        That is good defense all day. Because basically what you’re arguing is that DB’s can’t touch them ever. It was a play on the ball. He made a play on the ball.

        Madden once said that you could call a hold on every play, not DPI. Ok then, so let’s just change the rules to what they were during the Jack Tatum/George Atkinson days of “bump and run.”. There’s nothing I hate more than having rules that aren’t enforced. In my life, I’ve seen DPIs less egregious than that called and also some that were much more not called.

        Also it wasn’t PI because it wasn’t called. Great no call.

        As much as I wanted it to be PI, seems like he launches up to play the ball, then puts a hand on his shoulder, but doesn’t really keep Texas guy from elevating. But that’s just me. He got UP and swatted that away – not sure the receiver had the hops to get there on that fade. Wish it wasn’t a fade. Hate them, but it was the right WR for the play.

        Last post on this subject for me…the question is whether the DB made contact with the receiver prior to the ball arriving. If he did, its DPI. There’s no way a person can lawyer himself or herself out of that.

        That happens every time. Every time a DB does that. You can call it every time like holding or illegal contact.
        Just don’t even have DB’s at this point if you are saying that is DPI. He made a play on the ball. That is the difference for me. Even if it was Utes WR I wouldn’t want that called.

  Wait a second…I turned off the game when Texas didn’t recover the onside kick with about a minute left. How on earth did Texas wind up with the ball all the way down at the end zone with a chance to win on the last play?

    Time mgmt – Texas called timeouts and then UW had an injured player that stopped the clock at 0:50. Punt – 45s to go 69 yds. Big pass play, 30s to go 28. Eventually 15s to get 12 yds and TD. Crazy ending

  If I was a tinfoil hat guy, based on the number of missed Washington penalties, including the DPI at the end of the game, I’d say the Committee desperately wanted a #1 versus #2 final to justify their final four and to quiet the FSU noise, even though UGA already did that favor for them…Go Utes!

    Lots of blatant missed holds on Texas’ last two scoring drives. Just as blatant as the ones they called in the first half

      Yeah that is the thing with using officiating to justify a fix. Because during the course of a game there could have been a number of calls that would change the dynamics of the game.
      
      Thinking back to Utah vs Washington game. A lot of DPI was called on Utah. Biggest gripe on them was the balls were not catchable.

      Texas could have been called for holding on almost every pass play. I saw several UW players getting choke held and they called nothing. Do not complain about a questionable PI call in this game when Texas got away with murder in the trenches all night.
