Am I the only one who thinks that it’s friggin ridiculous that they can’t review penalties? And that rule doesn’t even really apply because they actually CAN review penalties, namely, the targeting penalty. Why can’t they do this with other penalties? Especially when upon a simple review they’d see that the penalty they called CLEARLY wasn’t actually what they thought it was? I mean, I know next to nothing about the process that goes into being a college football referee, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that it’s pretty obvious that Utah’s player shouldn’t have been called for blocking in the back on that play because, well, HE DIDN’T FRIGGIN’ ACTUALLY BLOCK ANYBODY IN THE BACK. I remember a game between Miami and Duke a couple years ago where Miami won via running a kickoff back for a touchdown at the end of the game. In that instance, they actually reviewed whether or not any penalties should be have been called on the return, namely, if THERE WERE ANY BLOCKS IN THE BACK THAT SHOULD HAVE NEGATED THE PLAY. How in God’s name could they not have done this? Why exactly are penalties not reviewable? This is so friggin stupid and incredibly infuriating because it likely cost Utah the game.
