Yesterday Stanford, Texas, Oklahoma, Fla. State and BYU all played in very competitive football games that went deep into the 4th quarter...that's 5 teams in tough games that accumulated a combined total of 17 penalties, or the same number we were called for in our game...think about that for a minute...in 300 minutes of competitive football , to the 60 we played, we matched their penalty total...this is sheer insanity and defies logic...in all the games I looked at among the top teams our disparity was by far the worst...USC had 7 more than Utah which was the next closest, paling in comparison to our 11 penalty difference...
It's not just the number that bothers me, it's the timing of the calls (or non calls), that totally changed the outcome of the game IMO...
