Dustin's break to the outside was a fair call, but the false start on Ryan's run (wasn't called on the field as illegal procedure) should have been blown dead at the start of the play, and wasn't. I didn't see the flag EVER on that play, nor did ANY Belfry fan see a false start, not even on the vid. Dustin's punt return was complete BS though. He was in the endzone so fast that we didn't have time to block anyone in the back.

They called some other interesting penalties on Ashland too, and missed a lineman downfield on one of Ashland's TD passes and a facemask which would have given us first down at the end of a 3rd and long.

Officiating aside, it was still a great game, and come December I think we'll have been fortunate to have lost it, as it'll always stick in our boys' minds that they can lose that easily. It's been inspirational to them to come out hard from the first snap since then, so I hope it keeps being an inspiration to them. We've had trouble the last couple years of starting off flat (last year vs Russell of note).

If the QB keeper was called a false start and the play wasn't stopped that's very, very odd. Since the play wasn't stopped, that's why I assumed it was ruled an illegal procedure penalty (referee motion is the same from the stands). I figured that maybe a receiver checked off the line when he was supposed to be on. I did see that flag thrown though. It was thrown by the visitor side line judge (I guess that's his name, he's the one standing on the line of scrimmage all the way over on the visitor sideline). He didn't really throw it as much as he just barely tossed it in front of himself which is very common for an illegal procedure/formation penalty. I guess from the home stands it's a lot easier to see a flag come out from that official since we're staring right at him during the play.

I remember that face mask call no call as well. I thought we got away with that one.
