Yep, Emmett Rice is a piece of trash and that was clearly an attempt by their team and probably a direct request by their coaching staff to take one of our secondary starters out of the game since we are already thin, young and small in the backfield.

It was obvious he was told to do it because he made the "Shhh!' gesture with a finger to his lips on the sideline with a big grin on his face.

And also, the back judge basically gave them a drive to put them back into the game with multiple BS PI calls, the 2nd one in particular was bad as our defender had just as much right to catch the ball and was in position and they were both grappling.

I think the phantom late hit on Ferrell was on that drive as well (don't remember for sure)? Regardless, that was complete BS and totally obvious that the refs were feeling sorry for Blackman for getting planted hard 3-4 times prior. I'm sure Jimbo was in the refs ear about his QB taking hits (all clean) since he is a whiny ##### that always gets his way with the refs.

The game shouldn't have been close. But the refs literally dragged FSU down the field to score which gave them the momentum and rattled Kelly Bryant, who looked horrible again.

For some reason, I get the feeling that the Playoff Committee doesn't want another Clemson/Bama matchup because the refs have been taking some serious snipes at us in several games now. I really don't know how we've survived it so far TBH.

Since the NCAA couldn't properly enforce rules at a goat race, don't expect anything of significance to come of this latest disgrace. The only thing that will finally quell this idiocy from grown men who know better but refuse to do better is a paradigm shift in penalizing this behavior. These are not "kids making mistakes". These are grown men acting like idiots.

It SHOULD start in the NFL and come down to the NCAA et al but since that dumpster fire is blazing don't expect Goodell or any of the owners to take action. So, it NEEDS to come from the college ranks and coaches like Dabo Swinney and float up. Here goes:

If you pull a targeting stunt like Rice did tonight:

1. The player is ejected immediately and is suspended for the remainder of the season.
2. The penalty is 25 yards or the 2 yard line.
3. The team loses a time out.

The threat of draconian penalization is the ONLY thing that will ultimately correct this dangerous and irresponsible behavior. Its implementation cannot come soon enough.
