Did anyone watching on TV notice this

Just got back from the desert, and was kind of surprised that the amount of bitching about the refs was as light as it was. That game was an abortion by the Pac 12 refs (I know, redundant). So I wasn't sure if it was just overlooked in the final 2 minute fiasco, or if it wasn't noticed as much on the TV. Everybody in the stands noticed it, so much that the AZ fans around us were actually laughing at some of the calls.
So I watched the game last night, specifically to see the "backwards pass" that was originally called a completion when it clearly bounced, then changed to incomplete for a second, and then changed to a backwards pass. The next play was a 40 yard completion and led to the AZ first TD. Did anyone watching on TV notice that the pass left Solomon's hand at the 31 and bounced on the 32, since they never did show a replay. Easily forward, should have been 3rd down. Everyone in the stands saw it, and rewinding it on TV showed it easily also I was pissed that Peterman let the next play go off without calling a TO. Or did the TV viewers just totally miss that at the time. That game smelled fishy officiatingwise. I don't boo the kids, and I don't like to sound like a "12" (ghey) but the refs can really suck a dick.

Arizona's perimeter holding was pretty bad too. Think they only got 1 holding call.

I think we're just immune to it now.

One of the most poorly officiated games I've probably ever seen.

I just stared at the TV with my jaw dropped during and after that fiasco. The game just moved on before I really had a chance to decide for sure whether it went backward or forward. I was still wondering and grumbling about it when they scored the TV but nobody was listening.

I was at the game and it did not look like a backwards pass.

That pass interference call on Beaver completely changed the game. That ref should be forced to drink mercury.

Of course, Arizona's video replay was a joke because they rarely showed one.sjd said:I was at the game and it did not look like a backwards pass.

This penalty and Miles' Baby Hands ... were the difference for AZCuntWaffle said:That pass interference call on Beaver completely changed the game. That ref should be forced to drink mercury.

There was also a play were it looked like a pass was clearly caught when it was touching the ground. No review, no challenge...moving on.
