Nix is better than Browning. Credit is where credit is due. Browning takes the sack or throws a pick there. Otherwise, looks exactly the same.
There were bad moments but overall this was one of the better officiated Pac-12 games I can remember. Case in point here I was just waiting for Powell to get targeting here. Also was ready for them to fuck up his interception.
I disagree. This game was a reffing horror show for a variety of reasons:
- McMillan beats a Duck CB in the first half and gets held, badly. Penix throws a bomb that McMillan cant get to. At minimum automatic first, if not a back breaking TD. No call and UW punts.
- Blo Dix throws a pass to no mans land while likely in the pocket, no grounding call. Ducks score a TD on that drive. Not even a conversation about it, no replay of the box, nothing.
- Trice gets held and tackled on a 2nd and long play with Ducks on their own 20 yard line. No call, and Ducks march down the field to score.
- Ferguson scoop TD catch off the grass. Maybe he caught it...we will never know because there was no replay and no other angle besides the skycam.
- DPI on Muhammad on a 3rd down Nix misfire. This one Fowler and Herbsteit actually said was pretty soft. Ducks score a TD on this drive instead of a long field goal attempt.
I am usually not a wef blamer, but this was actually the biggest fuck job of the season against UW. I was fuming. There is a legit argument we were robbed of a TD and Oregon was given a TD due to the refs in this game.
