I know the Big Ten officials are getting bad publicity for some calls. Inadventant whistles , ball spotting , clock stopping , or not but a friend of mine told me the referree called time out and needed to get the headphone's on to find out what down it was in the Penn State - Michigan State contest !! I was told Penn State came out to kick a FG on fourth down, and the white hat told them it was 3rd down !!! If an offensive coordinator wanted to kick on any down, why would an official care ? Then to not know what down it is.... Please tell me my friend was wrong. Big Ten officials can't be that bad.
