Worst Calls in College Football History || Part 2 

I think that goes into the category of controversial calls, which I think should be a video topic you should make next

Florida vs FSU in 2003, FSU had I believe 4 or 5 fumble calls go their way and all were blatantly bad calls.

Do the pass interfirances from the michigan ohio state game. Same games as jt was short. Also but jt was short in part 3

2019 South Carolina vs Florida. UF scores on a run in the 3rd quarter where the WR is pulling the SC DB continuously for 60 yards - no holding call: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hrPz6LVYOy4.html

Unsportsmanlike conduct against alabama vs duke

@@heatedchair. I'm convinced that first commentator was being sarcastic, but I do get annoyed when announcers give the "he should have known better" speech for excessive celebration penalties. If someone gets flagged just for showing some swagger without delaying the game or making a lewd gesture, I think that can be explained by the desire for a weak man ref to lash out at alpha-male athletes. My concession here is that my half-baked theory on the psychology of excessive celebration penalties does not explain why some of these refs who go viral for being ripped or outrunning high school players would make such calls.

I referee football and seeing him just watch makes me irritated. One of the first things I learned was when you see two players getting hot, you separate them immediately, never stand and watch

He was poking fun of the referee for not seeing the first one I think

@@tigerguy1013 Did they not tell you about Lawyers where you work? They teach us NOT to touch the Kids. It is not our job to STOP Fights. It is our job to Prevent Fights and to Penalize Fights. - But what do we know? When I started 12+ years ago our Assignor a Retired NFL Official and a Current Replay Official and our SOO was a White Hat in the SEC. We had only put 12 Officials in the NFL and still had 8 there. Populated about 1/8 of the Big Ten, SEC, ACC, Big East, MAC, Sunbelt, C-USA, and anything East of the Mississippi River by training Officials OUR WAY - They teach us to control the players with your Words, your Whistle and your Presence. . When they know you are THERE by your Presence and your Words they will back down most of the time IF they are getting trained to that in every game from every Crew. As for the Whistle we teach that there should be ONE WHISTLE to end the play. And that it has to be blow LOUD. But the play does not REALLY end on the Whistle. The Play Ends When It Ends. And that brings judgement into the game with each official needing to KNOW what each player he is watching knows and it requires the Officials to be DISCIPLINED to stay in his Primary or his Zone.

Bullshit

No cap

facts

Except when the color guy is wrong.

@@nickma71 what

@@eljeffy Dan Fouts made an ass of himself when Glen Sharpe held Chris Gamble. The official changed it from defensive holding to PI because the ball was in the air.

1000%

Yep. Unfortunately it’s all about large fan base and tv money.

Or incompetence.

It feels like officials not wanting to look like they made a mistake so even when in the face of blatant evidence to the contrary they’ll stick with the original call to save their ego

The officials on the field do not make the replay decisions. I would assume all of you are signing up for this coming season to officiate.

I was hoping somebody commented about that 🤣🤣🤣

What a great catch

I was comin to see if anyone else caught that 😆 good eye

Also at 10:21 "They gotta figure out this targeting rule." Its 2022 and they still havent figured it out

But was it a penalty from Mars? 😂

Baylor and West Virginia got called for that a couple weeks back. Bullshit. At the highest level.

@@Pensfan5919 They are gladiators! Party of the game is pomp and circumstance. They can't feel good about doing the nigh impossible? There's NO room for testosterone influenced jubilation?! It's insane.

The defender wasn't penalized for hitting him after he had scored the TD.

It’s ridiculous that they expect young college athletes in a contact sport who have invested time and energy to get a chance to play, let alone score, to play like robots and not get emotional. Im loud as hell when i watch games. Im not even playing.

Defensive back: Grabs wide receiver's arm and pulls him back even though he already scored a touchdown. Officials: *WE SLEEP* Wide receiver: salutes to the fans. Officials: *WAIT, THAT'S ILLEGAL*

Exactly lol. I'm like Jim Harbaugh, "WHAT DID HE DO?"

My brother and friend crying how bad these calls are lol

The bang..bang calls are forgivable. But the replay or lack of action ones are bs.

I yelled too. It’s so bad to see these refs

I had to stop watching! I got about 2/3 the way thru this and gave up on both the refs AND the review booth!

Joel Klatt!! Love him. He is awesome and typically spot on with his analysis.

It's true though fuckin refs are stupid asf might be more rigged then the nfl

Was looking for this comment

The great Joel klatt that’s why we love him

The refs had money on some of these games for sure..

That should happen more if there are horrible blown calls after review.

The officials in that game should’ve been handcuffed on the field and taken to jail.

@@darthplagueisthewise4560 The biggest problem in that game was Arkansas being flagged for nonexistent penalties over and over which were not reviewable. I’m a Bama fan, so I was pretty unbiased about that game but at least the SEC office made an example out of the officiating crew. I felt really bad for Arkansas as it cost them the game.

@@KPX-nl4nt arkansas gets screwed like that all the time like auburn 2 years ago when bo nix threw the ball backward and it was a “spike”

@@brodielay7522 Yeah, I remember that game, too. In Jordan-Hare, this is known as “Auburn Luck”, where the ball always bounces in Auburn’s favor at the last seconds. Arkansas was robbed in that game via abysmal officiating. Goodbye Bryan Harsin. Hello unprecedented and never ending buyout carousel!

You show up and make the calls. There is a shortage of Officials in every sport in every region of the World. These guys you all pathetic will even train you for FREE in hopes you might have what it takes to even stick with it through your 1st year before quitting because you can't do it. You would be embarrassed by the PeeWee Games they start you out on, 22 players, 2 Head Coaches and that puts you at being outnumbered at least 4 to 1 or more at all times. You only get 1 position where your eyes are and Monster Sized, Super-Fast Guys are moving in all directions. I guarantee you it is harder than anything you have ever done. Plus, you are judged by morons that don't even understand the rules being enforced enough to know the difference more than 3 times out of 10. Those morons doubt YOU know the Rules DESPITE the FACT that you have been Ace-ing tests on the Rules every year for 2 Decades or longer and proving yourself on over 99% of your calls and no calls every weekend for just as long. Yeah. Something is pathetic. But it isn't how often the Refs get it RIGHT despite doing a job that is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get right and harder than anything you ever tried to do. Seriously... you show up and do it. I KNOW it bet it pays better than you earn per hour NOW to suck at you current job. And that's just the pay to work PeeWee games. But you won't show. All talk. No manhood.

brucemercer I’m a pharmacist. I make plenty of money and I’m pretty good at it. I am not an official. These guys are. They chose their positions, they should deal with the consequences of making mistakes. But no, they continually get away with garbage calls without any repercussions simply cus the leagues they work for would rather sweep their incompetence under the rug.

brucemercer and to think, I have filled thousands upon thousands of scripts and not once have I made a med error that harmed a patient. But the moment I harm ONE patient, I may get fired, and hell, go to jail and lose my license. I take that risk as a professional. These guys are professionals as well. They should get reprimanded for even one mistake, just like I would.

It is because a lot of these examples are for the purpose of fixing games.

You do realize the referees don’t make the calls on instant replay right? There’s a crew of asshats in NYC that tell them whether the call is changed or not. In a game with as many moving parts as football, there will always be missed calls, but there is no excuse for missing a replay call. However, like I said, the refs don’t make that call

Thank u

3. SEC officials really suck

4. SEC officials really really suck

5. SEC officials really really really suck

The vast majority of these are not SEC officials though. There is more big 10 refs. Several of these games arw bowl games that have outside conference officials so some of the games with an SEC team dont have SEC officials. Only 4 actual SEC officials compared to 6-7 BIG 10

Literally, like 6:14 the ball doesn’t touch the ground while the guy has possession but the still rule it as incomplete!

Corruption

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

HURT MY FEELINGS

Omg I click on time stamp and a TGI fridays comercial comes on with baby back ribs lmfao

He hurt his feelings

It was an epic hit he shouldn’t be ejected

He mouthed "there's no way"

Bro that ref was in disbelief at his coworker

No kidding

To be honest,that's a part of sports in general when the refs make a bad call,when your team lose,etc

Facts cause I’m getting pissed by watching this

0:47 pissed me off

Lmfao

at what point , will a team just walk off the field ?

@@tom-zk9izI often times think that too. I wish a team would just say you know what we refuse to play under these circumstances. We’re gonna take a stand. And then just walk off. But I assume it’s deeper then that and it’s not that simple.

Yep, absolutely not targeting! But SEC refs didn't want super powerful Ohio State playing their LSU in the next game... plus scrawny whiny diva Trevor Lawrence likes to fake injuries...

I remember watching a game between West Virginia and Oklahoma, I can't remember the exact play, but a WR got absolutely lit up by a DB on a deep ball. Absolutely wiped out, looked to be inentional, as intentional as it gets, and there was no call whatsoever. Maybe somebody can find that video.

@@BuzzLOLOL Personally me I think that Trevor Lawrence will be a bust my friends think I'm a idiot but I just don't think he has the work ethic of other players

@@dawsonbaker1557 - He may grow up in time before he gets thrown out of NFL... or maybe not... he doesn't have much time left... he certainly was no #1 NFL pick... there's a lot of politics in sports starting in grade school on...

@@BuzzLOLOL Ohio State was never going to win that year kid

any big hit is basically a flag

Bascially they want to make sure a hit where someone could be injured later in life is taken into account, the interpretation of that hit isn't just a referee thing though sonce the fans and the players also have strong opinions on hard hits and penalties The NCAA should just set a standard and stop appeasing to the media and what people think

ya i get the spirit behind things. But I've seen a lot of hits where a guy leads with his shoulder, doesn't launch, or like in the one clip here wraps up like he's taught, but still gets thrown out. It's too inconsistently called.

This is football, the players know the risk they're taking

The rule is not the mess. The technique that players use as a way to try to get around the rule is the mess. They’re not using any effort to wrap up most of the time. And that is usually on purpose. Hence “targeting” and why the term “forcible contact” is used when explaining the rule. Obviously then they don’t see where they’re hitting the player and even if you try to use your shoulder instead of your helmet, if you hit the ball carrier in that area it doesn’t matter what you use to take the player down. The hit with Gerry was incorrect but the one on Denzel ward was correct because Ward doesn’t wrap up and hits the ball carrier up high. Ward had enough time to keep his eyes up and form tackle the ball carrier (the crown of the helmet was down). Interpretation is more and more difficult as long as the players don’t change their style. Point being, there’s a better way to make a big hit without getting yourself ejected.

Sometimes they just don't have the right camera angle to see it. There's not much else they can do if the replay doesn't even show it.

@@encycl07pedia- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ja1kLQTvwSs.html This one horrendous. No idea what they were looking at.

Bell interception vs Ohio State was because a computer in the review booth crashed and they couldnt say the replays.

2018 Ohio State vs Clemson none of the field calls stood if upstairs refs changing them helped Clemson!

@@encycl07pedia- Right but they may not get the same angle on video from the replay that the announcers or the viewers at home get to see. It was an issue at the NFL level too where it was the broadcast booth that dictated what angles the Refs can see at... and if the angle they need to see to make the correct call isn't present then the ruling on the field stands, because they literally weren't given the evidence to overturn it (despite their being evidence that could have overturned it) In this way whoever controls the broadcast booth could either intentionally or non-intentionally rig a game.

Had to pause and look if I was the only one who saw this

LSU fan here. Yes, the Buckeyes were screwed by the officials. It infuriates me when replay can't get the call right. And the scoop & score was not even close--clearly it was a catch and a fumble.

As a buckeye fan myself, what infuriates me is people still think this is a bad call

Man couldn't believe it. Even he knew that was bullshit

He's the one who threw the flag too.

Lol

@@Brettmanandrobin No, the flag was thrown by the official on the other sideline. The hit happened near UCLA's bench, the dissenting official was on Nebraska's sideline.

I was at that game. I was one of the few who thought it was the right call. Over time, I'm sort of changing my mind.

And the fake targeting call was even worse!

Refs gifted Clemson that win.

@@handleunavailable - It was the upstairs review refs... refs on field prolly would have gotten punched out for doing that...

In super-slow montion, it looks like a fumble. Full-speed, it's incomplete pass. Sorry, tigers.

"The wrong team" nothing. That should have been offsetting Unsportsmanlike Conduct fouls on BOTH teams.

Notice Michigan gets the most screwed.. I was thinking they were going to include the 2016 #1 OHST #2 Michigan game with that bad spot, unsportsmanlike on Harbaugh and several other 50/50 calls that went the buckeyes way.. It's ridiculous with replay tech.. at least be consistent

I lost my mind on that call

Trevor Lawrence: let me duck my head and get this dude ejected

Broadcaster made no sense there. It's a game. The kid's having fun, not taunting the other team. Just a joke.

I saw the same thing at Texas A&M game. The RB scored a TD and did salute. What was even worse is that the game was Military Appreciation Day!!!

@@jjmanzano9 and how A&M is an SMC so Military Appreciation Day means a lot to the university.

I remember that game. New York team in a New York bowl

Landon Walters Dabo pays the refs every game

If I remember correctly, I heard someone on ESPN the next day point out it was an illegal formation. I don’t know the rules for kick off formations so I could easily be wrong. But I think it might have been that they just called the wrong thing

Every team has some calls that go there way, and some that don’t. For example in the 2020 championship, Clemson got called for a bs pass interference on a play that would have given tee Higgins a record

@Morgan Norris I think I remember that too. Still frustrating; if it is an illegal formation then call it illegal formation, not offsides when it clearly wasn't.

Matthew Hall I don’t know if you remember but against Notre dame Clemson lost over 50 total yards and 2 takeaways due to bad officiating

It was so garbage dude, guaranteed they win if that call doesn’t happen.

Just the scales balancing, 02 natty, that was not pass interference by miami

Overrated Trevor Lawrence nutsack game...

@@theparkerfamily7153 Ohio State wins it in regulation without refs blowing Chris gambles in bound catch.

We always get screwed over, the entire state of Michigan is screwed over in sports

It's quite simple. The penalty is from Mars.

@@ballhead1150 I've always said this! No matter what team, if its MSU, Michigan, Lions, Tigers, Pistons, or Wings we are literally always screwed over in ridiculous ways

As an MSU fan, I can safely say that when Michigan teams play each other, the refs screw both of us. I loved the MSU win in 2015 at the big house, but every call on both sides sucked. Idk what these guys are seeing

Joel Klatt never will either if you ask him he will say the same thing. "That is a penalty from Mars"

The play by play guy really shouldnt have been so critical

And he was out of the end zone was he not?

Not only did it not hit the ground before he controlled it. It didn't even hit the ground at all. My condolences, what a clown crew officiating

Oh, I'm not a fan of either team, and I was ready to throw my computer. Those are the type of calls that aggravate me to no end.

That’s why the refs threw that game. The system is rigged they want certain teams to win.

Cost us an undefeated season. I'm still angry about it.

Eternally? Dammn! Time to move on Weston!

​@@LaBanane-rp7myNo

Michigan fan here. I feel you. What really baffles me about that play is how does replay not overturn it. Things happen fast on the field and referees could potentially miss that Bolden was blocked in, depending on what angle they had. But how does the replay official not overturn this???

The dude wasn’t thrown down, he turned towards the QB and “flopped” it basically 😂

thankfully from here on out players will only get ejected if the call is confirmed

To be fair, it has been mostly fixed.

He's so proud of himself like "everyone look! This is a touchdown!"

Michigan Player: *cough* Ref: Personal foul... holding... ten yard penalty... Michigan player is disqualified.

They clearly called the wrong number. The holding call was supposed to be on tight end 83 but even that is VERY questionable.

@@nickgoesvestmode Can't be the tight end, who is 82. All he did on the play was reach out and barely touch a Northwestern player.

@@nickgoesvestmode there was no holding 82 wasn't blocking and 83 could be called for block in the back but even that would be outrageous

It's become a pastime to cheat on Michigan.

That Michigan luck for you

@@winniethedrew I wouldn't say it's "Michigan Luck", per say... "Michigan Luck" would be referring to the, like, dozens of ways they've lost games...

I’m a Michigan fan and every first game we play I think that this is the year. That never happens

@@winniethedrew And Ohio State keeps making you... Well, you know...

Here is the point we’re I try to make the saying, This is the year!

That shit still hurts to think about. I’m just happy that burrow and LSU beat the crap out of Clemson

Fax I can’t even watch the highlights of the game without thinking about what could have been

That should have been a 42 - 0 shutout of Clemson by Ohio State... but before the half could see Ryan Day shrug and realize we weren't going to be allowed to do that!

If the receiver doesn't run a corner route instead of a post on the last drive OSU still wins the game 30-29. QB was expecting a post and the receiver breaks to the pylon... interception, ouch. I always feel those shouldn't go on the QB's record -- that INT should be charged to the receiver, he's the one who effed up.

@@dentonyoung4314 - Actually nothing that happened at the end of the game should have mattered because the score by then should have been Ohio State 42 - 0 Clemson !!!

He decelerated and wrapped him up... it was actually extremely gentle for a tackle at any level of football... I honestly don't know what the player could have done to be anymore gentle and still be considered an actual player doing his job.

In the shot of the coach you can see the other ref shaking his head no. Totally a legal play.

Jesus is Lord

​@@j.j.sweeney853that ref knew that call was bullshit

dostacos Why would they care? They're going to get high ratings no matter what and where's the proof? Anyone who thinks this happens yet no one has ever come out and proven this happens is really fooling themselves.

HeatedChair Same

It was supposed to be a fumble but called it a spike for some reason. Then they took forever to spot the ball for the offense to snap it

There's a still image out there that clearly shows Stave's knee on the ground. Also, by rule, the QB doesn't even need to touch the ground with his knee if he's giving up, just the kneeling motion should be enough for the play to die. The refs should have stopped the clock when ASU jumped on the ball and at the very least they should have spotted the ball faster. This is about 5 different errors by the refs that cost Wisconsin a win due to the chip shot the FG would have been. I remember screaming at my TV about this one.

The QB, legendary Joel Stave, kneeled before he set the ball on the ground, which wouldve placed the ball right in the middle of the hashes, giving wisconsin enough time to get another snap off and spike the ball to get the field goal unit out there. Instead, in all the pandemonium, the ref didnt even give them time to run a play and time ran out.

You can give yourself up by putting the ball on the ground but what it looked he did was the quick kneeling motion and then set the ball for the ref

Agreed

We got jobbed

I don’t like OS either being a Rutgers (home of the worst team ever) alum, but I rooted for them because they are Big Ten. That call was straight up robbery. Big Ten’s top team got robbed by the officials in favor of the South.

OSU getting robbed a lot in this video.

Agreed

He did fumble that ball and you could agree that those refs screwed ohio state. Even though your a clemson fan can you agree that we wouldve won?

@@michaeldrake7775 OSU should have won with that and the bad Targeting call

True, there were bad calls, but it's always cool to see OSU lose, I love it

@@nickyg3000 better for the ass Clemson if they played a sheldue they would be ass

Michael Drake I don’t think that that had any effect

tbf even if they called PI on LSU, they still would've blown out Oklahoma. It's one of the worst calls of the year but it wouldn't have made a difference.

@@WaffleWARZ idk about that. After that call Oklahoma seems to lose a lot of confidence. Yes I do agree it may still have been a blow out but I believe if OU kept it close they would have at least tried a bit more than basically meh for the rest of the game. I do believe LSU would have won either way though.

@@johnvanmeter1549 If Oklahoma "lost confidence" over a missed PI call then they weren't really that good. Bad calls are going to happen--they suck, but they're inevitable. If you let a call affect you like that in the first half, then you weren't prepared to play.

@@andy7376 I don't know. Juice Williams said that it involved shooting. I'm not sure tho.

It was an NFL level interception ,which makes it even more inexcusable!!

Low key? It's blatant

They are and it's not low key

OKST v TEXAS 2015

it's not rigged and there isn't some sports wide conspiracy sorry to disappoint. refs just suck

When Baylor beat UCLA in the Holiday Bowl the refs gifted UCLA a TD on the last play of the game. The player was clearly down at the 3 yard line. The Baylor head coach was trying to protest and get it reviewed but his defensive coordinator Phil B physically stopped him from having the score reviewed. That bogus gifted 6 points on the final play of a blowout made the "over" bettors winners. Tens of millions of dollars was at stake and the refs and the Baylor defensive coordinator were clearly involved in the "fix". Why doesn't congress or the feds prosecute those involved in ripping off millions of dollars DAILY? Because most of congress and feds are being bought off too or are the ones paying the crooks to alter performances. Intercollegiate sports is truly owned by crooks and gamblers. Bettors are really betting that their crooks carry more clout than the other guy's crooks do. Hell the federal reserve stole control of the US Treasury and put OUR NATION'S MONEY IN THE HANDS OF CROOKED BANKSTERS. There's absolutely nothing federal about the federal reserve. I'm surprised that GOD tolerates the human infestation on this planet.

I disagree after he initially catches/touches it, the contact with the ground knocks it loose for a second. Then he re-catches it.

@@MrBenHart but it never touched the ground stupid

@@Minh-fo5fd Here's a freeze frame from a different angle not shown in this clip. imgur.com/a/rl1w6NY

@@MrBenHart I'm with you, it DEFINITELY looked like the nose of the ball made contact with the ground and since the receiver never had full possession that would be ruled incomplete then and there.

@@byedinphukskhids4811 - Just simply corrupt refs...

Right, right?? Like why are they paying the refs when the commentators get it right like every time?

HerrKlausinger the commentators have extra angles the refs only have one or two. That’s not defending them btw, thats more than enough to get the call right

aaron4094 _ actually the refs also get those angles and more they should get these correct more

Sec refs for this game and acc refs for LSU vs OU rigged I think so

Yep.

@@oddoperator3524 Correct, southern officials. I know LSU needed no help against OU but that PI non call was laughable. The SEC and ACC definitely have a "You scratch my back Ill scratch yours" going on.

@@BucksLAN Both of their networks are owned by ESPN. Some people were saying that ESPN wanted a Tiger/Tiger final even before the playoffs started. My speculation says that they bumped LSU up to #1 in order to avoid having them play Clemson before the final.
