I was at the game Halloween Night and we all had enough of the penalties that were being called against the 2 teams. I watched the replay of the game on my DVR and came away with a very sick feeling dealing with several obvious calls that were not made right in front of the officials. The holding penalty that was not called on the end-around that gave MSU 7 points was clearly a hold not called. The helmet to helmet no-call on the NTA play was obvious to everybody in the stadium. No call again. Roughing the passer penalties against MSU on late hits to Weber that were called against the Gophers to continue drives for the Spartans but not called the same way against MSU. The penalty against Gophers on the out of bounds play when the Spartan blocked #25 out of bounds after the play was over and then called against Minnesota. 2 illegal procedure penalties called against Wills when he never moved. Not one holding penalty against MSU until the 4th quarter when they were dragging the Gopher defensive linemen down by their jersies most of the game right in front of the referee.
Now most of the calls against Minnesota were correct calls. My question is how the official can't or won't call the same penalty on the opponent when everybody in the stadium can see it. The MSU fans we spoke with all thought the Gophers got screwed for the first 50 minutes on the above questionable penalties. Wills is a marked man even when he doesn't move and this has to stop.
Tinsley got screamed at by Butler right in front of us and I doubt he will line up off-sides again after that stupid penalty he committed. Brewster also screamed at several players during the game including Simmons for failing to cover receivers.
