That would be this game I'm guessing.
Edna falls short against Blanco, 21-20 | Advosports
The game was in Texas so NCAA rules. 1st and 10 from the A-18.
Maybe the officials were OOO, maybe not. Since I wasn't there I'll give my fellow officials, the ones picked to work a playoff game, the benefit of the doubt. Same as I would the officials in a sport I don't work or even a game I'm not working.
Unsportsmanlike conduct is always going to be a call with a high degree of judgment involved and anytime a player puts his fate in the hands of an official, it is hard to say what will happen.
Like it or not, this rule was changed in the NCAA for a reason.
Edna still had chances to win the game including a field goal that they missed.
Edit: I've always balked at the idea that the officials should not be seen. I'm sorry but that's just not true and quite often if an official makes a tough but necessary call in a close game, everybody is going to see him. That doesn't mean the call wasn't correct or that the game was not well officiated.
