Gator Bowl

[jrfath]

Officials in the VT-"Louis-ville" game were announced on TV as being from the Big 12. Do they have a mechanic that includes keeping their flag in the breast pocket? I noticed at least two or officials (R and BJ) carrying their flag there. Any thoughts on this?

Any thoughts on this crew as a whole? I do not think they looked that good, from missing the Vick "stomp", the phantom pass interference, and the R not standing still announcing penalties.

Also, any thoughts on the Jimmy Williams ejection? From the one camera view they showed, it looked like the official had his hands on Williams, trying to lead him to the sideline, when Williams turned trying to get whoever was on him off of him(hard to tell if he knew an official was touching him, and not another player). Should we as officials place our hands on players to physically lead them off the field. I know in some cases, it is necessary. Should we then give leeway if a player does then turn and accidentaly brush an official?
