I didn't get a good look at the punt we recovered after hitting the Gopher. Looked like we recovered but I only saw one of the replays. Anyone have a view on that?

It also looked like the announcers were questioning one of the many OL holds called. It forced a punt. Not easy to tell watching in a bar though.

A win is a win, but both plays could have ended the Gopher momentum.

The punt in question touched one of our players before caroming off of the Minnesota player. Since we touched it first it does not qualify as a "muffed" punt. We could not recover there.

I know the Minny fans around me were upset with some questionable non PI's called on us in the first half, may be the refs were trying to "make up for those"

Wow, then I guess it's time for the MAC to revisit how it hires its officials. I have noticed them sucking before but to almost cost a team from your own conference a game??? Geeze.

Maybe the aspire to be Big 10 officials? haha. I did notice before the game Brewster was shaking their hands and he even put his arm around one of them!

I happened to have gone to high school with the referee and he has done MANY Bowling Green games over the years and also many Big Ten and "bowl" games, and happens to live in Findlay, Ohio!! I do know that they watched video right after the game and evaluated many of the calls that you are talking about.
