Thanks for that Lucky;
I'd like to see the MT catch on the sideline that was reviewed. Was his knee on the line before the catch?

I sure thought so. He had a trailing leg on the field, but his knee was off the field at the exact same time, which should have invalidated the catch. It was pretty close, so having it stand was defensible from the refs perspective. It was a bummer because we'd have gotten a 3-and-out had the call been reversed; instead, they went and got a TD.

The place where I thought the refs were a mess was with holding calls at the line of scrimmage. If you watch the drive where Crosby got the INT, two big plays by Montana had egregious holding at the line of scrimmage go uncalled. Let's just be frank, Big Sky refs are always a challenge. Not sure if our coaching staff is unlikeable to the refs, but we sure seem to have lopsided penalty yardage every game in our opponent's favor. If we were a dirty team or even a team that used a lot of pick plays, you could see it. But we aren't a team that does any of those things, so it's weird.
