Did anyone watching on TV notice this

Just got back from the desert, and was kind of surprised that the amount of bitching about the refs was as light as it was. That game was an abortion by the Pac 12 refs (I know, redundant). So I wasn't sure if it was just overlooked in the final 2 minute fiasco, or if it wasn't noticed as much on the TV. Everybody in the stands noticed it, so much that the AZ fans around us were actually laughing at some of the calls.

So I watched the game last night, specifically to see the "backwards pass" that was originally called a completion when it clearly bounced, then changed to incomplete for a second, and then changed to a backwards pass. The next play was a 40 yard completion and led to the AZ first TD. Did anyone watching on TV notice that the pass left Solomon's hand at the 31 and bounced on the 32, since they never did show a replay. Easily forward, should have been 3rd down. Everyone in the stands saw it, and rewinding it on TV showed it easily also I was pissed that Peterman let the next play go off without calling a TO. Or did the TV viewers just totally miss that at the time. That game smelled fishy officiatingwise. I don't boo the kids, and I don't like to sound like a "12" (ghey) but the refs can really suck a dick.
 
I just stared at the TV with my jaw dropped during and after that fiasco. The game just moved on before I really had a chance to decide for sure whether it went backward or forward. I was still wondering and grumbling about it when they scored the TV but nobody was listening.
 
There was also a play were it looked like a pass was clearly caught when it was touching the ground. No review, no challenge...moving on.
 
It seems like the refs want to make sure Peterman knows his place. They are going to fuck with him until he stands up for himself and the team. Letting that long pass happen without stopping play was a mistake.

I did like to see that later in the game, when AZ receiver clearly fumbled after a big hit by I believe the Budda, refs didn't call it and Peterman had to call a timeout to get them to review it, and he was in that ref's ear for a full 3 minutes following him down the field towards the replay review. I thought that would be something DJ would do.

Now, I'm not saying Pete is DJ, don't go twisting.
 
I re-watched the backwards pass and it was tough to tell from the TV angle. Looked pretty close, but because the camera angle wasn't straight on I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I questioned it enough to rewind and check, though.

At the game, it even looked more forward. I was amazed on the TV it was as close as it was.

I don't buy into the conspiracy theory stuff. The refs just flat out fucking sucked that game.
 
If AZ loses that game, Oregon's playoff shot is gone. The refs are paid by the Pac-12. Playoffs are big money for the conference.
