What does Hubert Owens' crew have against LSU?

Some of the calls were fine, but they had 3-4 in big moments that made you scratch your head and wonder for sure. MSU wins regardless, but I do agree that it would have been a much better game without a few of those penalties.

He's a bammer. Pretty sure Alabama is undefeated under Owens since Saban took over. Last I checked, we were like 14-0 under him.

To be fair, though, Owens' crew typically officiated the OOC and cupcake games.

That explains why his crew was assigned the LSU/MSU game.

The only call that was close was the pick play at the beginning. Before even seeing the replay, I was telling people around us that it was a pick play. It was the only way #7 would have been that wide open.
Now after seeing the actual execution of the play, it was questionable either way. The WR did make contact with the DB. Had they not called it, I would have been ok with it. Judgement call either way. Usually LSU gets those.

I remember back in the early 70's State-LSU were playing in BR and the game was close in the 4th quarter, State was driving deep in Tiger territory and we only got 3 plays instead of 4 (guess the ref was from Canada). LSU eventually won the game. Stuff happens and it is up to the players to overcome a perceived missed/blown call whether it was right or wrong.

REC doing work.

The officials were def terrible LSU fans have a legit gripe.

The called back TD was fairly significant. I still think the MSU beats us, they are a veteran group. The targeting penalties are 1 correct for sure, and the second one was probably correct.

Well you are wrong, the DB was waaaayyyy out of position early, there is literally no way he even gets within 5 yards of Chark.

Thanks for the tip, Jerry.

Seems like we used to always wind up with Owens, Penn Wagers or Tom Ritter every stinking week..
