Conclusion

So out of six games, ACC officials called less penalties than opposing teams were averaging per game in half of them. One game was right at the team’s average.

The other two were more than that team’s average, but in one of those games (Miami) the penalty count should have been significantly higher.

ACC officials called more penalties than Clemson averaged on the season. However, after the Jimbo Fisher rant post-Clemson, it’s fair to say the referees learned how to swallow their whistles against NC State.

Now, they only called 6 penalties on FSU football(who is No. 127 in the nation in penalties averaging 8.6 per game). But, the penalties they missed against NC State were absolutely absurd.

What about that roughing the kicker penalty they missed?

What about the failed review on the ball they ruled  a fumble by Auden Tate? What about the failed review on the targeting call on Brian Burns?

The referees REVIEWED those plays and still got them wrong!
