Sometimes you don't really notice how many flags are thrown.

I watched one of our games on TV a few weeks ago and heard the announcer say "...our referee has been busy today." Little did I notice the number of penalties that had been called.

I went back and listened to the webcast of the game (NFHS) and was surprised how many calls I got right. For example, 2nd and 14, A commits an illegal shift and after the tackle, B commits a PF late hit. Our sideline guy said automatic 1st down on the PF and my color commentator said they offset. I said I didn't think so, that both should be assessed making it 2nd and 4. Indeed that is what happened. I found a few more like that thanks to you folks educating me via this board. Sadly because I try to get the rules right, I won't get hired by a national network.

Guess that is a NFHS deal??? The dead ball PF would be an auto 1st in NCAA

Yes, that is an NFHS rule. The only fouls by B that will result in an AUTO 1st down are Roughing the Passer, Roughing the Snapper, Roughing the Kicker or Holder and DPI.

Leave it to Texas to think the NCAA rulebook is the default

Our BJ has made the comment that 'we don't commit the infractions, only call them.' In theory, it's nice to say "let them play," and I would say that, when watching a game as a fan, I prefer a game with fewer fouls than more fouls. That being the case, in a game I officiate, if the teams jump offsides, commit many illegal blocks, 'haul' down receivers when the ball is in the air, etc., I am going to make the call, and the last thing I think about on the field is "boy, there has been a lot of flags tonight."

Everything's bigger in Texas.

I had a few games this season that it seemed we couldn't keep the flags in our pockets. When you have teams playing sloppy and dirty, that is what happens unfortunately.
