Strange day in the Forest......

Today's game at Lake Forest was a very strange one to say the least.  Going into the half, well with 2 minutes left in the first half, it appeared that Lake Forest was going to finally have a dominant performance and put away an opponent.  At that point, Cornell came back to score a late first half TD and bring them within 2 TD's. 

But what happened in the second half is what left many just shaking their heads about long after the game.  The second half was the absolute worst officiating that I've seen since our Pop Warner days.  The Refs were all over the place.  There was a late drive in the 4th that one ref threw 4 defensive interferance flags on.  3 were totally out there.  That drive, assisted by the calls, got Cornell back into the game with a TD.  On the play that got Cornell to the 3 yard line was a 25 or so yard pass.  When the reciever caught the pass he was hit by a LFC D-back.  It was a hard hit, but looked very legal from my spot.  Another flag.  Now get this, after a 30 second conferance by the refs, the head ref came out to call a "high hit" penalty.  In all my football experience, never heard that one........They scored a play or two later.  Then on the kick off, the Lake Forest returner caught the kick on the air and went into the end zone.  He got confused and instead of taking a knee, he took a couple steps out, then retreated back into the end zone where he was caught for a safety.  This brought Cornell within 5 with time left.  The final Cornell drive was absolute chaos.  The refs were losing control, the players were being aggressive players, I'm just glad nobody got hurt. 

In review, hat's off to the Cornell QB.  Played well, threw well and went out hurt in the final quarter.  Cornell D-line did a nice job.  When I saw them come out early in the game, I thought they looked pretty small.  They played much bigger.

On Lake Forest, just can't say enough about Scaffidi.  He had some nice throws, some very timely runs when needed, and just manages a nice game. 

Aiden Price did a great job at Safety.  He's a hitter, all over the place.

Al Mitchell got another 100 yard rushing day.

so next is Ripon and the triple option.........

I'd say overall that was a very good game between two evenly matched teams. We need to pull out one of these close games against the upper half of the conference!! LFC's QB and RB are very talented. I also really like the Defense of Lake Forest....someone had mentioned how aggressive they are and they definitely were!

I'll admit...a couple of those PI calls were definitely questionable. There were a couple against Cornell in the first half that I thought were questionable too...one was on a LFC TD so it didn't matter anyway. Anyway, good luck to LFC the rest of the year.

Cornell can still finish this year strong...they are a young group that is talented but just need to learn how to play a complete game.

Ash,  I agree.  it was a good game. 

There were two plays that the refs called or didn't call that stick in my mind.  There was one where a player was injured so it went by without much excitement.  But one of your players was in contact with the LFC reciever and the ball hit him in the back of the head, obvious pass interferance not called.  He didn't look back at the ball and the ball even hit him on the back of the helmet.

The second was after the flury of flags had been thrown.  Your team threw a pass to a reciever who caught it around the 4 yard line.  It was a good thow, good catch, and the LFC defender hit him.  It was a hard hit, but I didn't see anything wrong with it.  The ref then throws a flag, they have a conference, than announce "unsportsmanlike conduce, High hit".  I went searching for that one.  Never seen it before, nor could I find it.

Best of luck to you guys for the remainder too.   There's still a lot of football left!

PI obviously is a judgement call, but the defender doesn't have to play the ball.
