A couple things that I enjoyed about this victory involved 2 whistles:
1) Pac-12 refs with the quick whistle for forward progress being stopped actually saved us from Love being stripped for a TD, instead of costing us the game in 2012 when Stepfan Taylor was whistled dead on 4th and goal. Sorry, that's not reviewable. What comes around goes around.
2) Pac-12 refs called out the whistle from the crowd which also came into play in 2012. I understand having home field advantage and making noise, but simulating a referee's whistle is poor sportsmanship and not anywhere close to fair play. Yet, plenty of ND fans were eager to call Shaw whiny for even bringing up the fake whistle.Â
Bye bye!
