USC football: Carroll says call against Turner was wrong

November 16th, 2008, 9:30 pm · 3 Comments · posted by Michael Lev, staff writer

The Trojans improved markedly in the penalty department vs. Stanford, drawing six flags for 45 yards — down from their conference-worst average of 78.7 entering the weekend.

But Pete Carroll believes USC should have had one fewer penalty, claiming that a holding call on Patrick Turner in the third quarter should not have been whistled.

“The holding penalty on Patrick is so far off,” Carroll said of a call that took 10 yards off a 17-yard gain by Joe McKnight. “He made a dominant block and drove the guy on his back.”

    Careful Pete. Speaking the truth about Pac-10 refs can get you fined by the Pac-10. Just ask Jim Harbaugh.

    The refs picked up a flag against Stanford for pass interference. Right after that, there was a throw downfield by USC and the Stanford guy never turned around and looked for the ball. That one should have been called pass interference against Stanford.

    Pac-10 refs are the embarrasing laughing stock of the country and a potchmark on the Pacific 10 conference. These incompetent buffoons should all be fired by the NCAA–a serious intervention of sorts.
