Terrible Officiating in the Texas-Tech Game

Regardless of who you were cheering for, did anyone think that the officials did a good job in last nights game? In the first half, it seemed like they missed a lof of holding calls on Tech's offensive line. Later in the game they called that ridiculous holding call on Adam Ulatoski when the Tech DE fell down and he placed his arm on him afterwards. There were two obvious block in the back penalties on Shipleys punt return, one of which was called, and then they picked up the flag?! That offensive PI call on Crabtree when Tech was first and goal was also pretty weak.
Terrible officiating drives me nuts and shouldn't play a role in a classic game like this.
What do you guys think?

I think you are a little late?
The officiating has been brought up on here since the game was going on. I will save everyone time. Yeah we all thought it sucked.
The next up and coming Longhorns QB!
All I wanted was one or two holding calls I know that isn't too much to ask for is it?
Our D-Line was being held on each and every play, sometimes blatant tackling and several hands to the face. The holding calls that were thrown were against us.

Yeah I kinda figured
I looked at your profile and saw you are a Tech fan. I am just being a smart ass, having some fun with it. The thing is, someone on another post wrote about how the refs have hurt Tech in the past as well, so it does eventually come around and effect a team. I am not going to blame this loss on the refs though. Tech dominated the 1st quarter and held on for the win. That’s the way it goes down sometimes.
The next up and coming Longhorns QB!
I agree- There have been calls that were bad last time when TT was at Austin and Leach complained about it too…

the officiating sucked, but..
its not the reason Texas lost. Texas didn’t show up in the 1st half. The o-line had a horrible game and got whipped the entire 1st half.
Texas will bounce back, and I think they will benefit from the tough schedule they have.
Not If The Coaches Have Anything To Say About It!
I cannot believe the coaches voted USC, Flordia or OK?! Texas could benefit from their schdule but what are the coaches thinking? USC is beating up on every high school team on the west coast! The lone ranked team(Ohio State) they beat has been exposed as highly over-rated! And OK a team Texas BEAT! Flordia they lost to an unranked team AT home.
From 1st to 7th
hookemhorns72,
You are absolutely right. Given the Horns were playing an unbeaten team at home, played horribly, but still almost won, how could they drop so far? I was expecting maybe #4, but #7?
