[scorecard]

Scoring twice on 3 plays - agree. And

The interference call against us was a "did not play the ball" call - but our CB turned around and was closer to catching the ball than the receiver. Go figure?

The "helmet to helmet" call looked clearly in the replay that Umanan turned his head and hit with his shoulder and not the helmet.

It blows to not get a decent replay review on either 2nd down or 4th down, when Taylor was in both times.  All plays involving the goal line are supposed to be reviewed, so why didn't they look at 2nd down?  That may have even been more clear.  They sure were quick to review and reverse Toilolo's catch.  Even worse, they were apparently Pac-12 refs.  And on 3rd down, Teo looks like he stops Taylor but takes 2 swipes at Taylor's head and facemask after the play that are not called (of course, there's no way they would call it in that situation, but it would have been a justifiable call by the book).  The side judge and particularly the back judge are in perfect position for the 4th down play, but I have no idea what they are looking at.  Okay, so maybe they miss it with live action, but you have to reverse it with the replay.  There is no whistle (I have watched the play multiple times).  The side judge does run in early, but why would you do that on the very last play of the game until the man is clearly down?  I just hate that the refs mucked up the end of the game.  The game should be decided on the field.

The Amanam play was a killer because it was also 1st and 20 at the time.  Furthermore, I'm not sure Golston gets the job done in crunch time.  Rees actually gave their offense new life.  It looked worse on slow-mo but Golston was being spun around at the time, and was about at waist height or even lower.  It was probably not even a necessary hit, but with Golston's 3 earlier fumbles I can't necessary blame Amanam for trying to separate the ball. 

Toilolo's catch that was reversed was a bad call as well.  Controlling the ball to the ground is an NFL standard, not college.  His elbow was down before he lost control of the ball anyway.  Inconsequential to the end of the game since we converted.

I also saw Taylor get tackled on an obvious horse collar tackle that wasn't called either.

Oh well, as others have stated, it shouldn't have come to this, because we should have had a comfortable lead had we gotten anything out of our QB.  I believe our lines on both sides played better, but when you can't complete a pass, it comes back to bite you.  Just like UW all over again.
