... I will say i thought overall the officiating was very poor, for both sides, it just worked out that it was poor in moments that seemed to set up well for Stanford, i.e. penalties/questionable calls on i believe 3 3rd downs that ended up being TD's for stanford. 

I don't want to hit you too much here, as we all think that officiating goes against our team, but I am having trouble finding these third down plays you mention.

Here is the closest I could find:

On Stanford drive #1, on third and 5, Hogan hits Hooper for a 5 yard gain. I suppose there could be a question on the spot on that one.

On Stanford drive #2, on third and 9 Hogan hits Rector for a 31 yard gain. The play was originally called incomplete, but overturned on replay. Rather an obvious call with the replay assist - though can see why it was tough to call real time.

On Stanford drive #2, on third and 1, ND was offside so we didn't have to run a play. Don't think that was controversial, and of course Stanford's chances were pretty good on actually running a play, but the penalty did give Stanford a first down.

That's really it for third down officials calls as far as I can remember (which in itself may be faulty).

The call I thought most und fans were complaining about was the PI call on Butler trying to defend Cajuste near the end of the third quarter. That was on first down and thus not exactly make or break for the drive.

I don't think und fans are claiming the face mask on the last drive was a bad call, are they? A bad, unnecessary play by Rochell of course.
