Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 1311907, member: 285"] I was truly ok with how that was officiated. I thought they got the play right. Yes, the Pitt player's elbow contact with Roberson's nose drew blood but I didn't think the Pitt kid did anything that was unnecessary or egregious...ie. He did not wildly swing the elbows. Why review if it's correct and all three officials saw it the same way? There is too much reliance on the review already. It's sports sometimes things that should be fouls or penalties go uncalled, its the nature of the game. In this case they had it correct. I also didn't think they should stop play for the injury. Stop play if the injured player is in the way and might get hurt or cause someone else to get hurt or if he needs immediate medical attention (e.g. a Hank Gathers collapse situation) otherwise play on. Otherwise you end up with situations where advantages are getting held up over phantom injuries. [/QUOTE]
