If the types of fouls we had to watch the Pac-12 officials ruin every game with are going to be ignored unless truly egregious, I will be very happy. It was nice watching DB’s being allowed to touch a receiver while going for the ball without 6 hankies on the field every play. O and D Lineman hold each other every play trying to gain leverage. It’s part of the game.
That game was ref’d more like soccer where it’s only a foul if you are stopping someone who has already earned the advantage. Lomu and the Defender were both hand-fighting to a draw on that play. It only looked bad because the defender changed his attack when Wilson ran his way but it wasn’t any worse than what had been allowed all game.
