The BS personal foul on Loston

Are they really calling penalties that don't take place, but allowing officials to make a judgement call on a player's intent to commit a penalty or was Herbstreit just pulling that out of his ass and the official just missed it. That was a huge penalty that kept South Carolina in the game and Loston didn't even touch him.

 

That was one of the worst calls I have ever seen in football.

 

I think this is a really big deal that isn't being discussed if the officials can throw a flag if they perceive a player tried to helmet to helmet someone, even if they completely missed. I mean for 1 no one intentionally helmet to helmets anyone it's a natural action.

 

Yeah, I am really concerned about this idea of flagging "intent". I don't know if that is real or not. "Thought crimes" in football? Give me a freaking break.

 

Horrible call, as was Herbie's "intent" explanation.

 

It was payback for the out/in PI call earlier on LSU. Pretty sure was same lineman. The guilt was eaten him up...

 

It was a BS call but Losten should have never launched himself. THAT was stupid and he knew it as soon as he did it. Reid told him too.
Note even though it WASN"T a foul Les took Losten out for a few plays to counsel him.

 

I don't know the ruling but that dude has to know better.

 

Herbstreit is a douche who hates LSU and Louisiana, just like all of his espn and cbs counterparts.

 

Lostin has a history of deliv some serious blows. Dude just needs to use it for thinkin instead of hittin.
