Lincoln Riley gives firm, defiant response to roughing-the-passer calls which hurt USC

Lincoln Riley could not have been clearer in his opinion of the two roughing-the-passer calls made by #Pac12Refs against the Trojans versus Utah.

When a coach answers questions in front of the assembled press right after a game, he does not have the benefit of looking at the full game film and being able to make careful observations of plays. He can’t use the coach’s clicker to rewind the tape and break down each play in all its elements and its smallest components.

Once a coach is able to look at the film, he can offer a much more precise and informed verdict on various plays: how well they were executed, how well the opposition scouted out his scheme, and how poorly they were officiated by the Pac-12 refs.
