Should Officials Decide a Game's Outcome? NO!

The biggest controversy in college football--in football in general--from this past weekend revolves around the end of the BYU-Washington game on Saturday. Jake Locker and the Huskies were flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct while celebrating a touchdown at the end of the game that brought them within one point of tying the Cougars, subsequently lengthening the PAT to 35 yards and affording BYU a better chance to block the kick--which they did. Regardless of whether the call was correct by rule, it was wrong to make it in the first place, and here is s my opinion on it and why the rule should be changed to prevent this kind of controversy from happening in the future.
