The MAC crew did a nice job keeping things under control. ND needs to be more disciplined. Willard and company didn't put up with any of it. It wouldn't surprise me if Willard was a Big Ten Referee within the next couple of years. This is three straight years that he has worked either a bowl game or the MAC championship and the MAC often likes to give different Officials shots at Bowl Games so to work 1 three straight years is very impressive. |

#31 of Miami ejected for Targeting I believe McElwee and Ransom (side judge and back judge) made the call. Textbook flag. Bill Lemonnier was in the booth with ESPN and broke the play down. Review took less than 30 seconds to confirm. |

Targeting and ejection in the Navy Game (Navy#8) was a very weak call by the BJ...The contact was shoulder to shoulder....the twit for a referee and replay official thoroughly blew that call! The officiating this game has been very weak, they should go back to Pop Warner, if they could handle that.
So far I have not been very impressed with to many of the crews in any of the bowl games that i've seen thus far, I'm glad I'm not sitting on the desk evaluating these guys. The game has changed since I've done any evaluating....so sad.
