MACtion was taken to all new levels yesterday in a matchup between Ohio and Buffalo when the referees seemingly bungled a safety call. Ohio quarterback, Tyler Tettleton, was guilty of intentional grounding, but the referees got it wrong when they took that penalty and said that the quarterback had committed it in his own end zone. Replays seem pretty conclusive that Tettleton was not in the end zone.
The call on the field withstood reviews by the way. In the end, the call wasn’t that important as Buffalo rolled to a 30-3 margin of victory.

You have got to be kidding me… he’s a full 4 yards short of the end zone!!
As an OU alum, this game got me fired up. I would argue that this call and a few other terrible calls DID make a huge difference in the game despite the final score. I’m not usually one to blame it all on the refs, but they were in the bag for Buffalo last night. They blew another call earlier when OU was driving, a wide receiver fumbled, and the replay clearly showed that that player was down for at least a second and a half before the ball came out.
The Bobcats didn’t look their best last night, but at moments when the game was still well within reach, obviously terrible calls that could have been reversed by replay kept going Buffalo’s way. That safety followed by great starting field position after the free kick led to 9 quick points alone. I hope someone reviews this game.
there would never be any type of betting scandal in the MAC though, right?

It’s hard enough to believe that the ref right next to the play blew the call, but whoever reviewed the tape blew it too? How is this possible?
Methinks a head or two should roll.
