I was flipping my hat when that play happened ...

The commentary guys, kept saying, the extension by the receiver's arm is what drew the flag.

However:

(a.) The extension did not create contact, and did not cause separation

(b.) The flag was thrown in the end zone, 15 yards after what they claimed is what drew the flag

The ref threw that flag without cause. And I was losing my mind. He didn't even reach for it, until both players were in the end zone. Which means, the apologist excuse by the commentary crew, absolutely didn't match the reviewing.

You could even hear it in their voices, that they didn't believe it to be a legitimate penalty, either.

Makes me wonder if there wasn't somebody chirping in their earpiece to say it. Because they sure didn't sound like they agreed with it.

Big 10 refs are horrible. The reviewer's are no exception. They see things that aren't there, then can't overturn things that are obvious. They are as a group pathetic.
