No PI versus PI

There was a very important sequence in the 2nd quarter. Coogs up 10-7 and driving.
It is 3rd and 6. Weigman throw to his receiver who is beyond the sticks. It would be an easy catch for a first down if the defender doesn’t go right through him prior to the ball arriving. Easy call, but refs missed it. Coogs punt.

Tech takes possession, and on third and long Hammond throws it down the field, our DB is looking back to get in position to either defend the ball or intercept it. The WR stops and they collide. PI called. Tech goes on to score to go up 14-10.

It could have been 17-7 Coogs, but down 14-10. In a game this close, it’s the small things that change games.

Both were clearly PI

IIRC, the TV commentators said that was a questionable PI. It’s not why we lost however. Stopping them on 3rd down more would have helped.
