But the "fun" thing about college officiating is something as unbalanced as only 2 fouls in a half is going to get reversed in the second half. Neither result is "right" but that's compromise we get.

And that is absolutely ridiculous.
There were not a bunch of missed calls in the first half. I hate Duke, but anyone who has ever watched a game with me knows that I comment on bullshit calls and missed calls on both sides.
I cannot stress enough that the game changed
completely based on the fact that Duke was in the penalty with
more than half of the second half to play and in the double penalty with
fucking 7 minutes left in the game. That is absolutely outrageous given the fact that they were securing those fouls by actively trying to run into people with the intention of falling down.
