Two game changing calls (PI & the early hold on Taylor run) with potentially a third looming when refs didn’t review Stokke run and UW had to take a TO to try to get them to do so. Badgers turned it over four times but still shouldn’t be in this position. Unacceptable officiating

This is the wrong take. D3's don't just take whoever shows up. They actively recruit players & offer anticipated spots on the team to select players. It might not be a football scholarship offer, but it is a select opportunity. Less than 6% of HS players play any level of college
