FSU football caught the raw end of the deal on several calls in the NC State game? Where ACC referees proving a point to Jimbo Fisher for open criticism?

FSU football has always had a touchy relationship with ACC referees. For example, think of how many blatant horse collar tackles have gone UNCALLED in recent yrs against FSU.

That’s just one example of many. Well, there were a couple of calls last week that went against FSU in the Clemson game which arguably altered the outcome of the game.

Jimbo Fisher openly criticized the referees in his post-game press conference and was promptly fined $20,000 by the ACC.

However, it appears that fine wasn’t enough to get the point across as ACC referees again blatantly missed calls on Saturday night in FSU’s game against NC State.

Two calls in question involved NC State scoring touchdowns that never should have happened.
