Rose Bowl Refs

As promised, here's one instance -- from early in the game -- where the refs appeared to deliberately ignore fouls on one side of the ball.

In Penn State's second series of the game, (9) McSorely threw a pass behind (3) Thompkins who deflected it into the hands of (2) Adoree Jackson. As he ran the interception back, (77) Wright first grabs Jackson by the collar and the waist, partially lifts him up (Jackson is a little light at ~ 185#) and tackles him, hand still on the collar.

See the three screen grabs:




You don't just accidentally miss a call that's right in front of your eyes, do you? I'm not trying to throw shade at Penn State or the B1G Conference in any way; the point here is that the ACC's refs seemed deliberate in their "missed" calls.
