BIG 10 Referees

Watching the BIG 10 championship game the referees are just as bad as when Nebraska has them.  The difference is the teams have the talent to overcome them. 

There were multiple no holding calls and bad spots even not changed in review and catches that were clear on review but called incomplete.

Guess just an observation that not all the bad or no calls go against us but we don't have the combination of fortitude and talent to overcome it.

 
People also need to realize that refs will never catch everything, especially standing at field level while guys in pads run around near them.  Missed calls are a part of the game, and if folks accepted that they would be less mad.  Stop expecting that every call ever will be flagged.  The game would become unwatchable really quickly also if they did call everything, as we would have a penalty nearly every play.

I understand they could call holding on every play.  I'm talking about the obvious 1v1 out in space or end of the line that BIG10 refs consistently miss unless it's Ohio State or Michigan.  This year was the first I can remember where announcers in at least 2 of our games commented on the poor officiating.
