Did Hopkins Get Robbed?
Say what you will about JHU's slow-down offense, stall tactics, etc., but should they have won the game? Was Wharton's goal good? Would that have been called at Homewood Field? You be the judge, but enjoy the commercial first.
It's plays like this that make me long for the days of Doug Knight and Michael Watson launching themselves into the crease. Remember the "Bring Back the Dive" t-shirts? Was it that long ago? Anyway, two things are clear. Wharton was assisted into the crease on what would have been the game winner and Maryland fans could care less.

This is a text book push from behind with possession. Just because you lose topside defensive position does not mean you can push the offensive player in the back. This is also a cross check. I thought the officiating was goo up to this point. So yes, Hopkins was robbed
ReplyDeleteMaybe. But it is hopkins so I'm ok with it. I've been seeing some very onesided questionable calls this year in the carrier. I think the refs are drinking the OJ in the carrier dome. The UVa game had some iffy calls in it.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I wanted 'Cuse to win, Hopkins got robbed.
