JPRI, you misinterpreted my post.  I was not complaining about officiating; it is a widespread opinion that Pac 12 officiating is less than stellar.  I stated that officiating, at whatever level, is part of the game and beyond any team's control.  We need to control the parts of the game that we can, and the kicking game is one element under our control.  Williamson helped lose the game with his bad kick.  Lyons helped lose the game with his bad coverage/penalties.  Overall, it doesn't really matter because, while we may have a playoff-caliber defense, our offense is impotent.  We are in desperate need of some retooling.
