I watched the entire game. The only clearly missed call was early in the game when A&M threw an outlet pass to a back in the flat and he got pasted by contact clearly directed at the shoulder or above. The RFP call was correct as the defender lead with the crown of his helmet. There's little doubt about either one of these.
The DPI was flagged and the flag was picked up. From the replay, the contact probably didn't occur until the defender touched the ball with his left hand/arm. His right arm was behind the receiver, but it 1) didn't touch until about the same time he hit the ball and 2) didn't swirl the receiver around. Honestly, this call could have gone either way.
I admit I'm baised as an A&M grad, but there can be no debate that Pelini and Nebraska embarrassed themselves last night. There were numerous personal fouls and USC penalties and ever one of them was deserved (and not mentioned by the poster). Last week, A&M had plenty of big calls go against them -- something like 3 TDs wiped out by penalties. Every call I saw in that game was correct.
