More Evidence

NC State came into the FSU game as one of the most heavily penalized teams in the nation, averaging 7.4 penalties per game.

ACC officials only called THREE penalties on NC State during the ENTIRE game. How is that possible?

Did NC State became extra disciplined all of a sudden?

Nope, in fact, had the refs called the two plays they missed and any of the blatant holds their offensive line had on the night they would have been at or surpassed their penalty average per game.

What makes things even more fishy? Here are the number of penalties called on FSU opponents when playing FSU and their average:

  • Louisville-5 penalties called/7.8 penalties averaged per game
  • UNC-6 penalties called/8 penalties averaged per game
  • Miami-10 penalties called/7.3 penalties averaged per game
  • Wake Forest-5 penalties called/4.7 penalties averaged per game
  • Clemson-9 penalties called/6.3 penalties averaged per game
  • NC State-3 penalties called/7.4 penalties averaged per game

Hmmmm.
