I shall admit, I was frustrated by the team's many mistakes, even though they dominated the stat sheet, if you will admit you knew they would come back a la Wake Forest Style...

Regarding the unnecessary penalty that cost us the game:

1. It was technically the correct call.
2. It was morally the WRONG call.

I continue to stand against the concept of a penalty call for an infraction that has no effect on the field of play.

You would think, in their infinite wisdom, the NCAA could come up with a better way to deliver justice in these scenarios.

My judgement would involve snowshoes & a clown costume... J/K

Actually, wouldn't it be more fair to penalize the player alone, instead of harming the team & the fans. You could keep the player out for a few plays, or an entire quarter, even if that involves another game.
 
I also want to say thanks for having me at the tailgate today. It was a pleasure to meet everyone there, & I look forward to more fun at the lot !!!
 
It was an awful call on so many levels, as you suggest. Just like Toledo, Tennessee and even the Oklahoma game in the dome. However, it was a judgement call and I don't think you can create any sort of scenario where it is a penalty and something else is done as punishment.
